Snowmoredebt is getting sorted

Hey that's not bad is she happy with that? every penny counts and if it would only have been lying around the house anyway then you may aswell pocket the cash. When I did the shopping I did it with retail eyes if she hasn't already signed upto this one I would recommend it to her.
You sound as though you are def on the right path good on you :T

Yes OH was happy she though maybe a fiver! It was less than a fumble of bits.

OH looking at mystery shopping as I type.

Today is raining booooo!

I have to send a phone to envirophone envelope arrived yesterday done via quidco, do some surveys and look for more stuff to sell.

MIL has paid deposit for wedding photographer £35 and my parents said they would pay for something for the wedding but we will see!!!

OH wants me to start clearing out the jungle of the garden, I hate gardening so will probably find an excuse LOL

It's raining! That would be a good enough excuse for me haha. That's good news about your parents helping you out for the wedding. Have you got the wedding arrangements sorted now? I believe that's stressful enough without everything else on top.

Snowmoredebt

I didn't do any gardening! Result I can normally find a way to avoid it

The wedding is getting there we have booked the church and reception, the wedding dress was brought in a closing down sale new for £150 and we have deposits on the cake which MIL is buying and the photographer, the rest will come together just got to pay for it LOL

I'm still not convinced by my parents they think OH is not good enough for me!!!!!!! They didn't like the face she had ds when we met and is not a yes sir no sir person they haven't seen de since she was 2 weeks old, they wanted OH to take her around and then wait in the car with ds until they were done. They also offered to buy baby stuff which OH borrowed from family in the end. There maybe conditions with the money and if it affects kids no chance. I see both kids as mine and equal.

Rant over!

HI well done for making a start. Good that you owned up to your OH and that you are now addressing this together... It does make a lot of difference if you do. Will look forward to seeing your progress!

Okay now I understand the implications, that must be really difficult for both of you! IMO I wouldn't let them pay for anything towards the wedding, like you said there could be a catch. They should accept your OH if she makes you happy and they should be happy for you regardless of their feelings.

Snowmoredebt

Thanks skint totally agree, I would like to think they will help without the conditions.

Today I banked the pennies and money from gold and applied for 3 Xmas jobs. I have also got an application form for work to help with my arrears if accepted they will pay a sum towards the arrears which will not require paying back. I feel cheeky applying but once I'm debt free I could make a donation to the trust or maybe arrange a fundraiser in work to give something back. e

No calls today re ads for prams one is nearly new the other is 9 year old but looks new, obsessive OH washed pram and wheels everytime it was used LOL

savingholmes

I have parents like that - I don't let them offer any conditional help now whatsoever.... best of luck with whatever you decide
