  • Than you Kiki
    What a helpful and supportive post.
    I know I can do this, but am suffering from clinical depression so this site is a lifesaver in giving me support and hope.

    Thanks to all

  • Hi all

    Have used Quidco for the first time. Had home insurance renewal quote @ £256.00 - which is 50£ more than last year.
    Went onto Quidco - with the same company got £80.00 cashback deal which effectively gives me free contents cover.:j
    Just wanted to say thanks yet again for all of your suggestions.

    Good for you Hettie, that's fantastic! :beer:

    Look back from your first post and see just how far you've progressed in such a short time!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
  • Just cut my hair!!! - can't afford haircut this month so thought I'd have a bit of a tidy-up myself.:eek:
    Not bad I suppose.Trying to be positive.

    a. Will grow back

    Hey Hettie

    Just catching up quickly whilst on hold to the tax office at work so will reply properly later.

    Looks like you've been a busy bee! Excellent news about the insurance. :T

    What's happening with the auction bits and how did the Ebay auctions turn out in the end?

    More to the point - how's the haircut looking?!?! :eek::eek:

    I get free haricuts too....my boyf cuts mine (he's not a hairdresser - I just don't care what my hair looks like!) He did hos own once when he was drunk - I would not recommend any of you trying this at home. The results were not good.

  • Hi KatyM

    Not having a good couple of days really. Bidding is looking good on ebay and the auction is on Saturday.

    Just feeling a bit down - but in comparison to some I really shouldn't moan so much - so apologies.

    Hope you enjoyed your weekend.

    Hair is not too bad - good thing is I don't have to look at myself!
