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

OberonSH

Hey webitha - ooh, you dark horse you!! That's okay, last time I compained I got told - you owe us money, therefore complain all you like we don't care.

It's just shooting them in the foot to not give me the full breakdown. I know they have it cos the last weaslly little 'i-used-to-burn-ants' bailiff pulled out what looked like a roll of wallpaper! It'll be right.

So rossendales are actually a big company then, not just a bunch of bullies coming up with inventive ways to make other people unhappy? Cor!

Hey snaggles, sorry to hear you're having a p00 week love. Cheer yourself up with this cuddly, heartwarming thought....

You are not Jordan.

There, doesn't that make you feel better? Works everytime for me. I might be in debt, I might have cold fingers. I might even be putting on weight. But at least I'm not a pneumatic-fronted moron with the IQ of a wet lettuce, singing voice like a goose farting and a severe eyeliner addiction.

Choc pudding?? Eh?? You gone mad lady?? Mmmmm choc pudding though.

Snaggles

Pneumatic fronted - check (6m pregnant lol)
IQ of a wet lettuce - check (see above re pregnancy!)
A singing voice like a goose farting - check
Severe eyeliner addiction - nope, you've got me there....I can just about manage to brush my hair in a morning but that's about it....definitely not 'doing' make-up at the moment (but hey, I must be glowing, right??)
:rotfl:

OberonSH

Yes, well you're pumped up Pam because of having smallish creature currently in residence. Jordans got a chest the size of a small country because someone unzipped her and stuck 2 bags of salty water in there.....urgh.

And you're not stoopid, you're having a hormonally induced sub performance. Normal service will resume shortly [cue the tinned music la la la la]

Morning moneysaving mad people

Hope you all had a cheap weekend. Ahh, Monday morning. You know when you'e a bonkers moneysaver when the only thing that keeps you going is the thought of your new pigsback clickthroughs...

Also found out that by booking our long awaited Florida holiday through flexible trips, I get piggy points! Yay! They beat the high street by £200 so far, so not only do I get a cheap hol, I get half a boots voucher too. Might as well, if I'm spending the money anyway. That'll buy the sun lotion!

It was my birthday Saturday, I am the grand old age of 26. FIL took us out for a posh meal. It was lovely, but it was one of those restaurants where it's very pretty, and everything's balanced on everything else. You know, the ones where you look at your square, balsalmic drizzed plate and think 'That cost me £15??!!' Teeny tiny portions. If I served up a small steak with a single slice of aubergine, sweet potato and courgette there'd be uproar!! I was lovely though, very enjoyable.

It does however lead to me my next pondering. I tiold people not to buy me stuff, as I don;t need anything. Instead I asked them to take down one of my Rssendales slips from the pinboard and pay whatever they would have spent on my present and card on that. Not that anyone took a blind bit of notice, but still. I got some very funny looks from everyone except my exceptionally supportive partner (who also ignored my request!). Has anyone tried that with family? I think I'm going to be firm at Christmas and insist on it. I don;t need anything, and I'd rather get given a debt free future than a box of smelly bath stuff. I would say I'd rather be debt free than smell nice but that could cause problems....

So it's Monday, we'll click our clickthroughs, we'll scribble in our spending diaries and we'll squeeze every pound. We'll gt there, and this week is another week closer to your debt free date. So well done everyone, keep it up cos we're doing great.

Happy Birthday for last saturday.:bdaycake:

26 is a great age, I remember it well, :rotfl: was some time ago though.

Upwards and onwards as they say, how's wedding planning going?

Morning Obi :wave:

So FIL is still on the loose, has he made his next million?
How's the weather with you, are the little old ladies rushing in to buy more wool for bedsocks?

I'm sat here, pretending to be doing OH's accounts, better get a wriggle on though, they've got to be in soon :eek:

OberonSH

It's not! We've decided to put that on hold til Chez Us is sorted and looking fab. Plus we've the holiday to save up for. We'd hoped for this year, but we'll see how it pans out.

Least we don;t have to plan it around his mother. She's gone completely Bursar and has told him that DD isn't his, never will be and as far as she's concerend nothing to do with her. Heartbreaking when she keeps asking for her nanna, and I'm certainly not going to tell that gorgeous little girl that 'Nanna doesn't want you, you've got the wrong DNA'. This from a woman who expected her new husband to take on her 3 half grown boys....

OberonSH

Weather's bl00dy freezing, but its very VERY queit. Bit gutted, as I'd very near;ly paid off a debt but with it being so quet I've had to use that money on my council tax instead. But at least that's paid til April now.

God thats really awful, maybe better to know now right and not get a shock later. Have experience of this myself and I know how angry and hurt you must feel on behalf of your little girl.

Some people act unbelievably, just keep on going Obi, best to remove idiots like your nearly MIL from your life, sounds like she is very negative.
