Single and in Debt Part II

Hi everyone

The original Single and in Debt thread started by Sarahb123 has got very long and as this takes resources from our servers we need to start a new discussion.

Please could you continue the discussion on this thread.

Many thanks!

Andrea :)

    Hi all - looks like our being single and in debt has been going on too long!

    Been busy with work in trying to reduce the debt problem, but the single one is still ongoing!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Hmmmm me thinks a big influx of cash & some suitable & eligibles would be far more welcome than a new thread but hey ho, thanks anyway :D

    Hi all,
    well I'm going to be robbed at the dentist yet again, cos surprise surprise my xray's came back saying I need a filling, what a shock that was, knew I'd got off lightly. But on a more happy note, got dragged into see my manager today cos someone who thinks there so clever at work tried to make it look like I'd made 12 mistakes with the same customer, proved it wasn't me 1 mistake was, so smug cos it was the clever cows managers fault the mistakes happened in the first place, hahahahahahaha. I am so smug, shame I haven't got some lemonade cos I'd love a drink to celebrate, but will wait till tomorrow.

    And I'll miss the old thread.

    Hi all - looks like our being single and in debt has been going on too long!

    We have a shiny new thread:j This one has

    • never ending shoe racks :j
    • a library with lots of sliding ladders:j
    • comfy armchairs:j
    • log fires:j

    Was planning to write a new thread soon, so I guess I have been saved a job,:D I was thinking that I should do it before one of the board guides so it could still be my thread, but have decided that as it is a group thread rather than a diary thread I may as well leave it as it is.

    Welcome to everyone, old friends :A and new, any lurkers or newbies please feel free to join in, we are a lovely friendly bunch who celebrate/rail against our single status as appropriate, a bottle/chocolate/hobnobs are optional:D
    Welcome back TDQ, saw you pop up at the end of Part 1:j

    So. Onwards and upwards with Part 2, I hope it brings us all health, wealth and happiness xxx:j

    Well, as some of the previous posters have found suitable and eligibles (which I put down entirely to the magic of this thread:D ) ours can't be far behind.icon7.gif






    With cash, obviously.;)

    *waves to the shiny new thread*

    Oooh, it be a bit posh in 'ere!! :rotfl:

    Still single, still in debt. Ah well! :cool: I don't care, I'm actually mostly happy about the single bit. The debt bit is a pain, but can't have everything....:p

    Hi all

    I seemed to have fallen off the end of the world. mags hasnt been too well was floored with this horrid viral cold thats going about. My days were get up go to work home to bed and then i took a couple of days off to see if that would help.

    On the road to recovery now. been working saturday's as well for another hospital which i could see far enough but it was too late to cancel the plans

    Nothing much has been happening in my little world and i hope to catch up with posts but just seen the thread has been split

    hope everyone is okay?
    :mad: sometimes my debt panics me..... EVEN after 4 years or so.

    I will be free in less than three years with a trust deed - my only option as debt management was taking too long :(
