    For a job, I've been waiting for ages for them to process my references. Thing is, I'm still not sure I want it and they don't know that I've left my previous job so they might want me to start straight away.

    That's ok, it just worried me when you said you'd paid off the credit card but still had mortgage arrears... just my CAB training kicking in as we're always taught to look for the priorities first before paying off non priorities.. Sorry didn't mean to pry. :) It sounds like your mortgage company are very sympathetic which is great to hear :)

    Cheers IA and you are right, I prob should pay the whole lot to them but its a head thing, clearning off a completed debt just feels SO good :)

    That's a bit different. Usually people ar desparate to get a call to tell them they've got a job!:rotfl:

    Why don't you want this one?

    Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me jumping in. As you can see from my post count I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but hoping to change as I found yesterday as I posted my aims I actually did them etc.

    Happy birthday Mickey, have a fab lunch (best part lol)
    I'm busy trying to list books on Green Met at the mo, taking a break reading the boards before work.
    Rubbish weather here but have cooked two whole separate meals from the cupboard so no going to the shop at work for me yay..

    Also you have to be careful if in a payment plan, as if you pay off a lump the mortgage company might turn around and think 'Hang on, this lady has more money that she's telling us, lets up her payments.' Which obviously wouldn't help you AT all. Just make sure you do the usual of cutting up your card and closing the account now it's clear :T.

    Toto, Crave have some lovely maternity stuff, as long as you squint a little bit when you look at the prices! :D

    I love the 'sparkle' dress - in aqua if it's for a sunny, day time party, or black for evening parties.



    It's £130 though!! :eek:

    I can't say on here as they have a confidentiality clause! It's related to finance though
