Massive debts

Thanks everyone - we did have an absolutely marvellous time!!!:j:j:j

The programme is being aired in January as it happens, so keep a look out!

I've just had the most amazing week of my life. Met some fantastic new friends who kept us going all week and showed us the most fantastic time!:T

Back to Scotland with a bump. Never mind, only 15 weeks on Thursday until we leave .

So much to do - lists to write etc. Need to reregister for eBay as they are being fuds for want of a better word.:mad:

Have closed my capital one credit card which I settled every month in full trying to improve my credit rating. Stopped giving a !!!!!! now so its closed and done with:D.

Have a zillion things to ebay and car boot and sell to the cash for clothes shop!

Off to start all my lists. We did spend around £400 and Australia is expensive for lots of things, but overall when we did the cost of living comparison it leaves us with £4000 every MONTH disposable income which is approx $6000.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Found a company to do a home report for £195 so hoping to arrange that next week when I have a bit more funds:j. The two estate agents on Wanted Down Under valued our house at £120-125k which we were happy with, they suggested putting it on at offers over £115k (funny Scottish house selling market thingy). Planning to do this, and if it doesn't sell just rent it out and try again in a couple of years. If we can get £118k we can clear everything and walk away.

I was expecting some bank money for a nightshift and a long day last Thursday but assuming the delay was something to do with Easter, so hoping to get that this week.

Also the Building Society seem to have mysteriously £uck@d up our direct debit which has worked seamlessly for years, its still active at my end but they didn't take their payment this month and now tell us we are in arrears. :mad::mad::mad:

Will phone and pay that just now and tell them to sort it out.

Oh my...do you remember earlier in the thread when I said I was jealous of you? Well I still am.

Glad the trip went well. :beer:

January is ages away...you'd think they would give you a sneak peak link - that you could obviously share with us! :rotfl:
