That sounds great! I'm glad you had a good time, and a happy birthday for yesterday

My weekend - tiring but good, spent the day with my sister, shifting books so she can have a room decorated - feels good to get something done!

I spent nearly 3 hours in sainsburys doing a "normal" shop, DS, 7 got diagonosed as coeliac this week so had to pick everything up and check the ingredients !!!

Good news on the £2K shares transfer - that helps fill some of this months gap at least!

Good luck tomoz with CCCS.

And great news on the shares. Mine are still way down.

Looking forward to tomorrow evening. Catch up with you during the day. I'm having the 4th attempt at the passport forms tomorrow. If they fail again I'll go mad.

Belated happy birthday!

Good news on the shares, hope that gives you the breathing space you need this month. Ebay's amazing once you get going on it, it is just the sheer effort to start doing it!

Great news on the shares mrscmr, so pleased you had a lovely birthday. Congratulations on being 18 with 29 years experience. LOL.
Fab that your family did nice things for you, good feeling that isn't it? Enjoy.

Sorry to hear that, a good friend of mine had it quite badly and has to have separate toasters and butter in her house so the crumbs don't cross contaminate. I think it's a bit easier these days as a lot more gluten free products are available.
It will get easier as you get more familiar with what you can and can't give him, at just 7 it's harsh though isn't it? Poor wee thing.
All the best.

cccs say iva as it would take 25 yrs to pay on a dmp

dont know what to do.. anyone got any views?

I don't know much about DMP's but would they change as your financial circumstances do? You know that you should get something from the property abroad so would that reduce the DMP over time, or will they just not recommend one for such a long period?

I found this http://www.debtfreedirect.co.uk/faq/iva/ not sure if it's of any use in helping you make a decision, presumably CCCS would put you in touch with a reputable firm to assist you or can they do it for you?
