The Golden Goose's Quest For The Golden Egg - AKA A Debt Free Life!

aww GG sounds rough!

KJ - I reckon you could sue them for the comment they made to you. one company I worked at was successfully sued - they probably settled - for asking a candidate if she was pregnant.

Shouldn't really ask if you have plans for kids but can ask if you have them already.... altho as I said before bad practice

I love stationary too - a lot

And the comment about every day is a weekend - I still prefer weekends as the family are together and for some reason I feel freeer to do what I want at weekends which I know makes no sense at all! Just years of programming!

Bye off on hols for a few days so if I neglect you it isn't personal!

The Latest Update

Howz everybod?

Thanks for those that posted and cheered me up. Have only now had the time to log on and post an update. I have been surfing when I can, which is only ever in short bursts.

Well me? Again I find myself in a ball breaking mood.

The household stuff has got on top of me. We have ourselves to blame as we have let some areas get out of control. The problem now being that every task really seems to be a mountain that needs climbing. I guess I am cross with myself and Mr GG.

What I want to scream and rant and rave about are the following (suggest you cover your ears as I am really going to let rip, the ranting and raving is for medicinal purposes only!) :

* all the paperwork for running the house is in a mess, dumped in heaps, its surrounding me as I type this, like a constant reminder
* Mr GG has tons and tons of unopened post, randomly left around the house
* Mr GG also has random bits of paper with notes and newspaper cuttings and tools randomly left round the house
* the washing I have just hung on the line, is now getting wet, thanks to the rain
* I need to sort out all my clothes and my shelf in the wardrobe looks like the Harrods sale after all the customers have rifled through everything
* lots of the kitchen cupboards need sorting out as they are stuffed full and it seems like its a gamble when you open the door as to whether anything falls out
* loads of clean washing needs putting away as have got lazy again and not been doing that properly
* Mr GG cannot find the latest mortgage statement (which he filed away) that I need for my insurance claim and has found out its going to cost £50 for them to send us a new one (*blue blue blue language in response to that*)
* need to put all my ebay stuff in boxes as at the mo its in piles on the floor, looking real messy
* am back in my overdraft, first time since March. I truly gutted. I am not over it, only in it. For me that is really a disappointment. Mr GG has needed to raid my account as he is skintoid.

Now I feel better and relieved. Thanks for listening.

Mr GG's words of wisdoms were "don't let everything get on top of you" whilst giving me a cuddle and inadvertently pulling my hair!

I need to get all these jobs done before I get a job otherwise the house will remain in this mess.

This week I have an interview confirmed and one for next week, so that is good. Also, this week I have the joy of signing on again, which will be delightful I am sure. Does anyone know what happens after my 26 weeks of claiming are up? Does the JSA abandon me and I am left without any benefits? Would appreciate any knowledge anyone has here.

Also, today I am going to do a quick tally of my CC debt as it must have decreased since I last updated my signature and I want to know how much I know owe (not including OD).

Watched Spendaholics on Sky and one of the girls on there, I really identified with. In some ways its been enlightening!

Only a short one from me today, so much to do and I need to be out the house by 4pm as have more stuff to get on with.

Take care and keep debt busting..... you owe it to yourself.

Til the next installment........
