I'm not doubting that we get ourselves, to some extent, into financial difficulties - overspending when times are good, not being 'sensible' etc.
What my general rant is about is that, when the situation is really quite difficult, you have cut down and pared away all uncessary extras, and are trying to keep paying bills, debts etc - it's hard to know where to turn.
I'm sure the national debt helpline, cab etc are inundated with mails and calls and the lines are usually busy.......
Sometimes time ticks on while I am thinking about what to do to help sort things and don't get round to any action - because I basically don't know where to turn first.
ho hum.

I wanna moan about o2!!
I ordered a new phone on a contract( it worked out much cheaper than I was paying on payg). This was nearly 3 weeks ago. I sent them an email 2 weeks ago asking what had happened to it, they repplied with a sorry, it is out of stock! So, I waited another week and mailed them again, this time tey got the phone wrong,though still saying it was out of stock. BTW their website has been showing the phone as in stock all along.
Mailed them again this morning telling them it's become a joke now and to cancel the order. Theyreplied saying the reason I have not had the phone is as they have not had ID from me!!!!! NO-one asked for ID!!! i have emailed them AGAIN telling them I have had enough of their excuses and I am now putting in a formal complaint.
Thank you
Moan over.

elantan passes over the choccy and the coffe and the ecchinacea hoping hypno feels better soon0 -
I want to moan about the fact that my job is boring (but I daren't leave as it's secure and other jobs might not be), I want to stay at home with kids and dogs and chickens but can't even afford to move out of my tiny one bedroom flat and have any children or buy any animals!
And it annoys me because if I'd had my LBM 5 years earlier I would be 5 years further down the line towards my dream.0 -

I wanna moan coz we've got debts (which we're managing at the moment:D ) but I really really really want to start a family and we've agreed to wait until we've paid off £10,000 of our debt before we think about it seriously and now I feel as though we're not getting anywhere, managed to pay an extra £1000 so far over the other payments we're making but still don't feel it's gonna get us anywhere. And I feel like I'm constantly checking the bank account and where all the money goes and it's tiring at times!!!!
I'm also feeling really cra!!y and low and works rubbish, I swear men are moodier than women!!!!!! And they're bigger than me so I can't shout back at them:mad:
Roll on the weekend eh:rolleyes:
Oooo think I'm feeling better now, thanks dig4victory this thread was a great idea
