  • The credit card people keep saying that CCCS should have contacted them but haven't. :confused:

    Got to dentist and had to rearrange as felt so ill. Dizzy and washed out. Not scared by the way.
    At County now doing newsletter.
  • @ bookie - When did you get in touch with CCCS, was it very recently? Sorry, I've missed loads from being away. :(

    @ Sammy - Good luck to your DD, post back when you know more. The 30th is my birthday, though I was actually due on the 26th. And I've been late for everything since. :D So at least your new grandchild should be early for everything else. Does your DD know what she's having yet? Sorry if you've already said.

    I've been reminiscing today, which isn't good. It's A Level result today so 2 years ago, I was in Florida and my dad texted me my results. I didn't think I'd get into Bath, I thought I'd have to go to Huddersfield instead because my results were too low. But they let me in away and I was so happy. And now I'm boll*cksing it all up. :cry: Sorry, I'm just feeling sorry for myself today.

    I just realised I've said sorry at the end of every paragraph. Sorry. :D

    Yeah, I'm really pleased. Wish I could make that sort of money every week. But, I did hit it with the big stuff, now it's the smaller things to go..........but hopefully.

    Bookie, hope you are feeling a bit better, make sure you keep yourself well hydrated *hugs*.

    well done on seeing the signs and knowing yourself well enough to act on it babes.......

    :j:jDD coming over cos 'it hurts now!'
    Can I just say though - I am more scared of going through my daughters labour than I was going through my own.....:o

    Oh, you'll both be fine (a wee half bottle of medicinal in the handbag tho? :D) - hope it all goes smoothly. Will be wating!

    The other day, my eldest says to me with a scarily thoughtful expression on his face "So, you were only a few years older than I am now when you had me then?" "Yes. Now play with your cars!" :eek::rotfl:
    When do all these horrible letters stop? I thought the CCCS are supposed to sort everything out? A&L threatening legal action and TSB sound as if they are going that way too.
    Looks like another paperwork day tomorrow.

    Can't you just ring CCCS and then tell them to deal with it? Or give CCCS contact details to A&L (in writing). They are a pain in the backside tho - I used to think they were just incompetent but now I think they just keep knocking in the hope that they'll squeeze something extra or just manage to get in touch on the very day you win the Lottery :rotfl:

    Looks and feels like Autumn here today (bah!). I'm sorry to say that I had a good night's sleep last night (crap for the 2 days before though if that helps :p)

    sally - that picture is lovely!
