  • yep, ended up just making choc fairy cakes though, i realised i didnt have any icing sugar for the frosting

    the closer tomorrow gets, the less time i have to wait sooooooooooo im going to adopt a PMA (positive mental attitude) for the next 12 hours (court is at 9-30am) and what will be will be.

    dont worry if im not around for the next couple of days though, after tonight i may not get a chance to get online till thursday night due to OH's op and my dad not having internet

    thank you all for the good wishes x
  • Just come accross your thread - I can relate very well with the shaking while trying to write - been doing alot of that myself.

    I'm so very sorry for your loss, I feel for you. It's not easy to deal with grief & debt at the same time.

    Somehow, it always seems easier to see things clearer when reading about other people - yet we can't seem to see our own "wood for the trees".

    Have courage Bumble, I'm sure there must be a bridge somewhere to let us cross to the other bank - even if we have to build it ourselves, one brick at a time! I wish you & your family well, and will pop in from time to time to see how things are.

  • im home, and thankfully we can still call it home!!!!!!! :D

    i cant believe how lucky we were, thery had the repossesion order there for the judge to sign, we explained the circumstances, made the very highest offer we could, and the judge has suspended the order for 3 months, if we pay what we have agreed, on payday for 3 months the order will be scrapped.

    i am so relieved, thank you all so much for your words of support.

    to celebrate, we went to woolies and got DD 62p of pic'n'mix (i will put it in the grocery spend :rotfl: )

    we had to go into tescos and buy some plug unblocking stuff £3.38 :eek: but to make up for it, good old Mr T had loads of yellow stickered stuff for us.
    a whole chicken, £1.66, really squishy hovis bread 89p (well i thought we deserved a treat ;) ) 500g sprouts 49p a seasonal veg pack (5 carrots, a parsnip, an onion and a swede) 89p, and 500g carrots 35p!!!!! very very impressed!!!!

    so all in all, a good morning, if not slightly terrifying

    thank you all again youre all :A x
