    Hey Sandy,

    Thanks for your message. I've had some feedback from MCBirnie as well whch has helped.

    I still havent heard anything back in regards to the investigation.I havent heard when I'll hear the outcome so I'm just worrying every day of my life at the moment.

    I'm not going to lose my job over it, that I'm quite sure about that, but I still don't want to be the only person who gets anything over it.To be honest our HR department is rubbish. The company I'm in are just so backward compared to anyone else in the industry.Thats part of the reaosn why I want to leave, which was before the whole incident happened!

    Don't beat yourself up about the money you spent C, we all have bad days. I found this site because I was having too many of them! Your focus is on other things right now, and all told you're doing really well. Good luck with the mystery shopping x

    Poor you. At least the things you bought can be used, so will stop you spending on them in the future. You have been doing really well and can't expect to be perfect all the time (only SS can manage that :rolleyes: ).


    COVER PEANUT'S EYES!!!!!!!!!!!


    Here is your penance if you don't stop wasting money!!!!!!!!!!


    Rabbit Stew


    2kg (4lb) Rabbit, jointed
    285ml (½ pint) Chicken Stock
    140ml (¼ pint) White Wine
    2 tbsp Seasoned Flour
    55g (2oz) Butter
    1 Garlic Clove
    1 Bouquet Garni
    2 tbsp Double Cream
    1 tbsp Parsley
    2 tsp Cornflour
    2 tsp Tomato Purée
    Parsley
    Salt and Pepper Coat the rabbit joints in seasoned flour and fry in butter in a flameproof casserole, browning on all sides.
    Add the stock, wine and tomato purée, bring to the boil.
    Add the bouquet garni, crushed garlic and season to taste.
    Reduce the heat and cook gently for 1½ - 2 hours or until the rabbit is tender.
    Transfer the rabbit to a serving dish, keep warm.
    Transfer the sauce to a saucepan, removing the bouquet garni
    Mix the cream and cornflour together, and stir into the sauce until thickened.
    Pour sauce over rabbit and garnish with parsley.

    Only kidding peanuts!
    Chin up, we're thinking about you!!!!!! x
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • Thank you for reading my story...

    I started off fantastic like every other at 18...and yes i can now get credit...the situation at 22 - 4 years on? 3 credit cards - £8000/ 4 loans - £16000 - meaning I was in debt and after problems in life i had not been able to pay them for 8 months.

    Until i changed my life...in 4 weeks i changed from [red]£22,000+[/red] in debt to [green]£241,900[/green] in the profit-being prepared to hit millionaire status in about 4 months - i don’t care though i only wanted to clear my debts! You know only a person in debt can imagine how that felt! The release made me cry and being a bloke that never happens!

    Well why am i here?

    Simply put i want to get every...single...person here out of debt and into the massive green in the bank. You know if you had the way to, you would as well because you know how hard it can be and stress dragging every happy moment you have down. -You can only live one day once and why should we be stressed!

    Life Changer - I can't believe you've even posted this rubbish in a person's own thread. Sure, post your own thread so that we can ignore this rubbish but some of us actually want to read about the progress of CAFC girl without having to wade through your useless spam.

    CAFCgirl - I was going to post something helpful but Life Changer has wound me up. I'm going to go away and have a cuppa and come back when I am calmer! Sorry things aren't going too well at the mo for you hun. Hope you're feeling a bit better today (((((hugs)))))

    OH MY GOD!

    I've just suffered a thread assault!
    Buzz off Life Changer, noone cares! Rubbing it my face certainly doesnt help! Bet you had to sell your soul anyway.........

    Awwwwwwwwww
    lol
    Thanks to everyone else. I really do appreciate the support I get on here. I know everyone has they're rough days and sometimes I do feel guilty because my situation isnt as bad as some people, but then i guess it's all relative!

    On a slightly more positive note............managed a no spend day today, simply because I've taken all my cards etc out of my purse.Now all I've got is my I.D and £1.50.

    Read through my trial for mystery shopping, going to do one on tuesday (my next day off) and see how I get on.

    Had a really poop day at work, lots of evil customers, one told me I should learn some manners, charming! But if it makes her feel better!All in a days work I guess.

    Boyfriend is still a mystery.Have spoken to him once this week. He's apparently coming down but he's going out tonight and tomorrow night with his friends who live down this way, and I'm at work saturday and sunday so am highly unlikely to see him!I've got no explanation for him at all! Kinda makes everything seem worse though, because I haven't got him to rely on right now...........

    Don't worry about customers they are sent to challenge you. I have a parent at school like that. She is very sneaky and came on a trip with me (only to leave half way through) on one of my worst days. She made a fuss about how horrible her child was. Poor thing. At least I didn't get it in the neck.
    Well done for the no spend,easy when you become as mean as me!!!!!I even went to the hospital the other day without any money for the car park. So I explained to the attendant and he was very kind. Yesterday I went again and for some reason had a £1 coin. I thought I can't do it again especially as I have the money so bought a ticket.:mad: I was only there to pick up a prescription so when I came out I gave my ticket to a vicar about to buy one. That made me feel better.:D
    Now I am hijacking your thread! Lets all go and change our lives!!!!:rolleyes:
    Suppose we have to feel sorry for him. Has anyone clicked? Might be worth it because maybe needs to be reported.
    Keep trying with the moneysaving, try not to focus on the boyfriend (not easy) You are in control of the money :T you can't control boys unless they are on reins:rotfl:

    Spent £10 today, not beating myself up over it though. Is stuff that'll get a lot of wear and I did need it all, especially for work and the summer. So remotely ok on that one.

    The boyf has turned up but is now in a pub with his mates somewhere. Hey ho, I've stopped thinking anything I say is going to have any effect. Although he did buy me a bunch of flowers, hmmmmmm I think its a clever ploy to suck up!

    Might spend some more time this evening, writing up some things that I want to get through this week just to give myself a bit of focus. Not after I have treated myself to a new bottle of vodka and some coke!

    LOL this is my reward for this week, next week, all hands to deck!
