    Hello,

    No sign of sarah for a couple of days - I have concerns that she is trapped inside a sale somewhere ;) .

    Hey SBC, your new years eve sounds good to me; I'm happy to stay home these days having done a very fair share of revelling in my time :D .

    Hello & welcome to CocoLoco - it's very snug & cosy here :D .

    Hmmm, I've been having a wardrobe clear out & discovered that I have more clothes for the life I want to be leading, rather than the one I'm currently trapped in. I have clothes & shoes that suggest a slender party girl who lives somewhere hot & sunny & has a fabulous social life ... sheer fantasy :rolleyes: .

    Hi there

    Hope you dont mind me hijacking this thread but i feel i should introduce myself im mags im new to this and have a thread on here about my debt

    Im single as well and find it tough somedays especially within the last week of receiving the defualt notification and other letters. I got very upset last night but a nice poster came along and helped me out.

    I have two very good friends who know about this and they help as much as they can but they obv cannot drop everything as one has 3 kids when im having a bad day but they are at the end of a phone

    So if i can be of any help please let me know as i get days where i feel im so alone with this debt and im not really :beer:

    Mags
    :mad: sometimes my debt panics me..... EVEN after 4 years or so.

    I will be free in less than three years with a trust deed - my only option as debt management was taking too long :(

    Cheeky wotsit. You did him a favour by lending him the DVD, so he should return it to you, not ask you to go out of your way again by collecting it.

    Thank you!! Some men really do take the p!ss. On a brighter note I have a date this Friday. Met him on the plenty of fish website. I feel nervous though :o Am I just a glutton for punishment keeping on with my search for the perfect man?

  • Hello mags33. Welcome to the thread, and glad you found some helpful people on this site. I know I've had so much support since my lightbulb moment.

    Me too, but that was then & this is now.

    I've got my MSE head on at the moment & worked out that the cost of seriously spoiling myself for a night it would cost about a quarter of going to my local & just having half a dozen drinks with people I barely know at best.

    Edit: Just realised that the saving from doing that is also more than my last mortgage repayment so I will throw it at the mortgage & have it paid off a week earlier

    hey I'm back, this is the first time the computers been on since the start of the hols, I love NYE so I'm going out and getting drunk, I could go to my sisters like last year and end up worse, or stay in and I've seriously considered that just so I don't have a hangover.

    Hi to all the newbies, Sarah's probably visiting family, and hasn't thought of logging in or is out with an OF and having a wild time, lucky thing.

    Hi Sunderland Black Cat - most impressed with your sig - 94 sounds like hardly anything! I'm hoping to start a mortgage this year so feel like I will be paying forever and a day!

    RunMichelleRun - good luck with the date - if he sounds fairly normal you will probably have a good time and even if no spark, you will have done something different. It is fun to get out there sometimes and give it a whirl, and if he is really awful then you will have a hilarious story to tell us on here........
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)
