    Good luck Linda.

    A&L have just phoned. Happy to put me on a payment plan of £1 a month and freeze all charges etc but only if I send £176 now. Told them I haven't got it and she will phone back this afternoon.
    Any thoughts?

    Don't budge bookie, they're just trying it on to get anything out of you that they can!

    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.

    That's stupid, if you can only afford £1 a month then how do they expect 176 months up front?

    You could show willing and pay the first month today but other than that there really isn't a lot they can do is there? you can only give them what you have and right now that's nothing.

    It will get better bookie honestly.

    Well done Toto :) Good luck trying to get some orange off!

    Bookie - what the others said, you haven't got it so they can't have it!

    Are you with CCCS now Bookie? If you are, when they phone say that you are 'pleased that they have accepted your offer of £1 a month..but, regarding the lump sum, would they please phone CCCS as they are now handling your financial affairs and it is important that all creditors are dealt with fairly'...they will then go away.

    Fri at last! Just the evening shift and then it's the weekend! :j :j :j My housemate Amy's moving in on Sun so we're planning to spend the day drinking margaritas and catching up. I've really missed her and it'll be great to see her again.

    Ok, I'm really hungry now so I'm going to cook the rest of that risotto for lunch, providing I can find a clean frying pan. If not, I'll have instant noodles instead.
