    I'm here, am so cold I'm sitting with the fan heater right by me, if I turn it off or move I'll get cold. Kids need a bath so hoping OH runs it for them in a minute.

  • GUESS WHAT !! OH had meeting with friend,hes offered him a job at same salary, no car but a 300 quid allowance and bonuses to sometimes pay towards fuel usage .. so if he gets made redundant a job to fall into with a golden redundancy cheque and if he doesnt he says he will not allow someone to loose job when he has just as good lined up.... im so relieved i could cry

    I'm here too. I have just been reading Mouseann's post on the main DFW board. They have £128k of credit card debt and have very bravely typed them all up, most of them are at around 29% apr:eek:. It highlights again to me how deeply implicated the banks are in creating the current financial mess with their irresponsible lending!

    Hope you have got to the bottom of the technical issues Mrscmr and that the family are feeling better.

    Just read your post Happy, that's absolutely fabulous news :T:T:T.
    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
