    Hi there
    Have just read through your thread. Sorry to hear about the rough ride. I too have depression, and I can't believe how much change the tablets made. I can look back now (having been on them for 5 months), and see just how bad I was then. I also bought a crazy amount of things to make me feel better (didn't work), which I now have to offload like crazy! Sigh!

    The very best of luck with the interview

    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

    Bless me folks, for I have sinned, Its been 2 weeks since my last posting.

    The pills are working well now:cool: , and Ive been motivated enough to start writing letters again.

    Im no longer dealing with HFC, Barclaycard and LXDirect, (3 of 5 creditors), but, instead, DLRS, Mercers and MoorCroft, and Ive sent each of them a token offer letter.

    Still job hunting, btw, maybe one day this will all be over.

    lol, sorry, this is turning into a bit of a diary.:D

    I have to say I'm impressed with the level of the letter writing, professional, clear and articulate, hard to believe when you say you don't have much formal academic qualifications. Is it possible to consider some volunteering while unemployed perhaps in the CAB, or victim support or NHS trust or some other advocacy service. It impresses employers. You seem to be focusing on very manual, blokey jobs. You may qualify for free adult education to get that A-C grade in English/Maths which may open a few more doors.
  • Im Back!!!

    Just a quick note to say Im back again for the first time in five months, sorry Ive been away, but Ive been WORKING!!!!!!
    Yep, got a job, its labour intense again, but at least its work, plus its Monday to Friday, payed weekly!! Cant think of anything better!
    Its also allowing be to save up to go bankrupt, I know I said I was going to do it a while ago, but its one of those things that I AM going to do, just keep putting off. (Must checkout new forum).

    Still on the pills, but should be off by April/May time.

    Still getting daily letters from various debt people, but thats been going on for about a year now, so they just get a glance before being filed under B, no phone calls anymore though, I changed my number and went X-directory.

    Finally,

    Got internet back, so I can make daily visits to my favourite money saving board once again!

    Nice to see you all, and some new members!
