    no, they dont even know he is going! he is terrified!!! I have posted on other boards asking if a FF would be better than a low start DMP, but havent as yet got a reply, any ideas? dont want to make the wrong choice!! (assuming we can get the money, otherwise the DMP is the only option)

    are you behind with any payments at the minute - most co's (I think) won't accept F&F's until you are already on some kind of DMP...........

    I didnt know this, can anyone else confirm this cos if it is correct there is no point DH asking to borrow the money, he cant borrow the full amount we owe, possibly half so we had hoped it would be anough to pay off our debt using FF's, then use the available cash we have each month to pay off his parents

    well you are gorgeous:T xxx


    another Shameless moment eh? was it :o or :rotfl:

    :D fanx buffy :D

    no it was a :mad: moment...not good when driving up motorway:mad:

    DD2 (15:mad: ) went out on friday night and 'was stopping at a friends'

    She came home on sat morn looking like she hadn't slept (she hadn't I could tell!)

    OH's mobile rang and some random bloke said he had found a mobile. So DD2 has lost yet another mobile. So i drive round pick the mobile up and hand over a box of roses and think okay - crisis averted.

    I think DD2 is a bit quiet and think she must be tired. Halfway up the motorway DD1 rings to tell me DD2 is hysterical. DD2 took DD1's passport as ID to get into the local pub - she got para and has lost the passport:eek:

    Bad enough that you have to report it to the police station - in person, pay £97 for a replacement - BUT - we go away in three weeks!!!!!!

    So DD1 has to apply in person at a passport office to get a new one...

    She is so grounded and I am not sure which bit of this story makes me most cross:mad: bluddy kids eh. I would never had done anything like that:rotfl:

    hmmmm - I think he may have a wasted journey. Have you posted a 'statement of affairs' on the board somewhere.

    WOW. She is so grounded! at least she fessed up tho. I would definitely want to murder her for the drinking and the £97 replacement fee! I'd never be one of those calm reasonable explainy parents, it would be death by shouting and throwing things!!

    Sammy if you'd done anything like that you wouldn't have got caught! :rotfl:
    Nevertheless she persisted.
