(CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84
There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

Pickle that's what i've done for my car costs for years, it's the only way i've managed to keep getting stuff done on it. It's also something i introduced my OH to the policy when he got his scooter and then his car.0

I haven't done it before, but the bills have nearly killed me this year as I have been earning very little, so I will definitely do it this year. Having said that, I'm tempted to not do it until I've paid of the interest-gathering debt and then play 'catch up' as it would mean paying less interest in the meantime, but leave me open to big bills again in case things go slower than expected. Hmm...decisions, decisions.Please call me 'Pickle'

Sorry not been around today.
Have had a very negative day today which knocked me for six.
Phoned the BCN today to ask if any more of my results were back and they were.
I was convinced that my cancer would be hormone positive but no it's triple negative.
Triple negative is bad in that it is more aggressive,has a very high recurrence rate,a worse 5 year outlook,a higher secondary spread rate and obviously doesn't respond to hormone therapy such as herceptin etc.
My treatment is very likely to be chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy...so a very long road.
My BCN is away until monday so another nice BCN gave me the news...there is no sign of me on the oncologist appointment system yet so the nurse was going to contact his secretary to make sure she'd got the referral...thought she'd have phoned back but she hasn't so need to phone her in the morning.
Really need to know whats going on and get my treatment plan0 -
Taxi - I'm just knocked for 6, guess its a long hard struggle, maybe when u get ur BCN back,she'll push for your oncologist appointment.
The good thing is thou they got you sorted quickly with the removal of the lump, the mri scan was clear, so it must be that gremlin saying hold on I'd like where I was,now they've taken me out, I'll cause some hassle.
I guess your going to be going through a lot getting all this sorted, but if you need anything I'm here, just shout. xxxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0
