  • Hello YM. I have 9 days to go. Finding it hard to raise the BR fee. Getting more and more stressed as the day comes nearer. But reading what other people have been through, it is a relief once it is all over.;)

    Hi

    H I am doing well thanks. Not been up to a lot and I think that my OH is finding me jobs now. Does not see that my continuing progress in "Animal crossing"is benificial for the whole family :D

    I am quite surprised that I have not had more hassle from my creditors as they have not been paid this month. Probably wont stop ringing now :rolleyes:

    Not much happened really and waiting until payday on Thursday :j as it has been a while since I have been paid.

    Got a beef casserole in the slow cooker, Fat boy slim on the CD and am about to tackle the Kitchen, Bathroom and toilet with Gusto.

    Have a good day and less than 50 days now :D

    Another one crossed off today so only the forms and the fee to go :rolleyes:. Should get interesting soon as the Halifax will be applying the OD fee and I am not paying anything into the account. From my time on here I gather Halifax are not very understanding and sympathetic so will see how that pans out

    Off out and have just discovererd that my gas cooker has a timer facility so have got it set for baked potatoes to finish at 4pm. Must be on the top of my game at the moment as I have had the cooker 2 years and have only just noticed the option :D

    Have a great day

    Sorting out my pots ATM with this budgeting malarky. I think this has been the first January in a long time when I have actually had money at the end of the month.

    Must be doing something right ;)

    Nothing else untoward to report as the Postie has not been yet so I will wish you a good day and hope you all have a good one.

    Morning

    Postie has just been and it is nice to know that my creditors are sympathetic to my cause. First Direct now DEMAND! the full balance within 7 days :rolleyes:. I will just have a route around in my wallet for the odd £7941.76 !!!

    Will file that as it will no doubt be the first of many. Mind you the days are going quick really until BR day so need something to keep me entertained ;)

    Nothing else exicting happened so far so will hang out washing,cook dinner and then got school run and swimming later

    Have a good day
