Sorry to hear about OH job - fingers crossed it'll all sort itself out. Why are they so frustrating when it comes to talking about things :mad: My OH is the same, something will be worrying me (like you are re his job situ) and i'll want to talk about it and he'll be 'i'll discuss it later, I need to think'.....meanwhile i'm worrying like mad. Men eh :mad:

On another note WELL DONE YOU on your total.....WOW! You're amazing, does OH know how well you've done? Really hope the car sells soon as that would be a fab boost to paying off.

Right - you've spurred me on to get my backside into gear. OH's Mum is always on about stuff he has in their loft and how she wants rid and should ebay. i'm going to pop round there this weekend and pick up a couple of bits...ease myself into it and see how it works. Never done it before - i'm an ebay virgin Will say to OH that it's split 50/50 as i'll be doing the hard work

Have a good day xx

Glad you have at least another month.... Do they just not have enough work coming in? Would he be able to keep enough clients to bring the money in?

mrscmr

hi sh - its not the income as such which is the prob - its the continual disagreements and arguing amongst the management team - hence a split is needed. bit of a worrying time tbh!
have a gd day today!

Hi,

I'm up and runnibng with ebay. Started with a bang and now wimpering but you have provided me with the inspiration to pick up my camera and go for it with fresh vigour. Have this house to empty - can't move so going to combine ebay and and that nice fly lady's ideas and try and kill two birds (and a few other nasties) with one stone.

Had a bite at a contract today but danger is I may be too qualified. It's only 3 months and lower level than previously BUT it's only 3 months and lots of cash so I'll happily doff my hat and play nice...honest guv!

Hope things still going well with you,

Kissjenn

Yay for ebay. must say though it is up and down. i have about 110 items on at moment and prob 3/4 of them have bids on with some very nice amounts... but i have a big debt to reduce so i need every bit.
have a good time listing.. im still listing now.

Hi MrsC well done for persevering with the ebay....

KJ - I will potentially be taking a job at a lower level if I get it Monday - but this time I intend to carry on applying for other roles too!

Evening people , mrs cmr sad news about oh and business potentially closing ending my god.... i hope there is some silver lining in that area for him id hate to see you not come out on top and omg at the monthly outgoings geesh its a bad time to move cars or anything because people are looking for deals or pay monthly arrangements i run around in a cheap box lol but it gets me from a to b .... whats new in the life of me i am going to get debt free saving holmes valuable point houses do eat money there is potential for some extra houirs at work but ive just recentlyu done boat loads of overtime and i am tired with it,,, i dont want to overwork myself and get myself down afterall i need to be fresh faced for my wedding day... i have a feeling some sunshine is coming my way if only people would help people imagine it cpould clear peoples debts but it would take a long time to come round.... id be hgappy if i could get a cheap loan and clear the credit cards and save intrest but i dont think 17,500 will drop on my lap because no one is willing to laon ..... i wonder at times why companys dont group together and say we are in bad tiumes lets lower everyones intrest to 0% for 12 months with an incentive to clear the debts but when they pay the limit reduced to what they owe so no one can respend untill the climate changes .... then of course companys would have back the money they are owed but instead people are greedy they want money when there is no money to give instead they build abridge for example when i clear a debt with my credit cards i intend never to use them again becuase they havent reached out and helped me !! if only we could boycott the credit cards companys so as soon as the whole of britain has cleared debt noone spenmds on a credit card and watch some of them suckers suffer like we have !! ooo sorry :P abit intense xx

mrscmr

happytobedebt .. yes i totally agree - part of our prob is that credit is too easy and we can get too high a limit and of course we go up to it every time. we play right into their hands. all quiet this weekend so hopefully status quo is ok - damn i hope the people buy the car tomorrow!
have good evening
