OberonSH's DFW Diary Thread - 1 Woman, 1 Toddler & A Whole Lotta Debt!

OberonSH

Cheers Olive, think I may have to take you up on that offer.

Right, I've had at least 10 minutes to mope, feel sorry for myself and hate the world. So the plan is now to track down the ex, and tell him to pay his half of the debts. Then I ebay like it's closing down, and get the small debts paid off. Then crack on with the biggies. I need to write to WTC and ask them exactly why I need to pay back £5k (and my guess is that DogBalls didn't send his half back). So lots to get on with.

Yes I'm in debt. It's a lot of debt, and its not going to go away quickly. But it's not going to reduce with me moaning and worrying. I just need to come up with one new way to bring in a bit of money a week. The up your income board should help with that one. A guy came round today talking about some sort of time-share-but-not-time-share thing, and I want to be a position to have been able to say yes - actually that apartment looks lovely, we'll have one. I want to put my card in the machine and not worry it's going to make that distressing 'Beep Beep Deadbeat Deadbeat' noise. And it's about time I made that happen. DS goes to nursery next Monday, one day a week for me to get my head down and get my website up and working, so if you see me on here on a MOnday, cyber-slap me.

Right, I'm off to have a bath and drool over all the tasty new Lush products that have come out, and think about making money. Hope everyone had a cheap day. And a clean oven. I have.... {smug}

MrsTinks

I'll pay you to come do mine!!!! No seriously... I will! Blooming shame you're so far away really...

Don't forget to list all the wedding stuff you no longer need

Have 7 bits going on Fleabay in a sec whoop whoop... Need to dig out second egyptian creation so I can take picture of that too and get that listed with it's buddy what I have just laboriously cleaned with baby wipes as it was disgustingly dusty! Ewwww

OberonSH

Mmmmm, dodgy egyptian figurines. Could have been made fo ebay. Good going on the 7 items. Now go find some more. Go. Now. Run.

Wedding stuff is all being kept for the renewal - although I'm wondering about the veil - and I'm a bit unsure on the table decorations - MIL bought them, not sure if she'd get upset about us selling them, but we're not going to use them, and house is too small for 'stuff'. Got a moses basket but it's a bit big, plus my breast pump with sterilising stuff only went for the minimum - still, some happy lady got a real bargain there, so although I didn't get a lot, someone will be really pleased.

boredofbeingathome

sorry to hear you are having a sh!tt1y time. Hope the honeymoon glow is still lurking a bit....you could have some fun with sterilising pump you know! *cough* getting carried away there, just seems a shame some other woman will be happy off it..or have i misread again..must get glasses, for further good excuses.

Just also have to add..i too am smug with clean oven! well it is self cleaning..

MrsTinks

Get shot of the table decor - if she asks tell her you gave them to a very worthy cause (well it is of sorts!!!) and frankly I haven't saved ANYTHING like that from our wedding - I have a few dried flowers and that's it Oh and the sugar flowers from my top tier of the cake I've framed them in a 3D frame from Ikea

*duely looking round the room for things to stick on fleabay as don't wanna leave whilst Roadwars is on TV...*

OberonSH

lol, I'm ebaying room by room as well, Mr Obi hasn't noticed the sudden decrease in Games Workshop novels......or hideous figurines. Umming and ahhing about my Aussie pot I brought back from Sydney - belongs to a former life, but I did bring it from the other side of the world...

if i was to do my oven with a toothbrush i would need at least a dozen lol ...do you not know where the slimeball cesspit lives?

OberonSH

No, the lovely and wonderful Olive has spent precious credits on 192.com trying to trace him, but there's just the marriage record - the waste of skin hasn't even registered to vote - well, he won't, unless there's a party who advocated getting high, drinking, playing ancient computer games and living in a pit of your own filth.

Maybe I should make it a challenge - find the ex, then pin the fire-axe on the ex, followed by stash the body and a lively round of innocent looks

OliveOyl_2

right then, I'm going to look at that bluddy marriage in case the b*gger has re-married.

The credits expire in a few days, and there's no-one else I'd rather seek out.

BTW why do ovens need cleaning??? The food never touches the oven does it

OberonSH

We came home the other da after nursery run, to find the fire alarm going off - there was some burnt on stuff at the bottom of the oven that was smoking and had set them off. Gave us all a right fright. Hence the cleaning.

I can't see him re-marrying - surely no man/woman/beast will want the great hairy lump. I mean, if you want something that costs a lot to keep, treats you like dirt and hasn't got the brain capacity that you find in an old potato, then get yourself an inbred pedegree cat.
