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

OberonSH

You're a sweetie - I have actually been giving some thought to writing, as you all seem to think I have a modicum of talent - I wrote a play when I was 10 which was broadly along the lines of Meet Joe Black (only funnier) - Death has enough of everything, and goes on holiday for a bit. I think I may try again, as a treat to myself if I get my accounts up to date. Not sure what to write about though - people can't honestly be interested in the trials and tribulations of a woolshop owner? Not when such classics as 'Being Jordan' and Paris Hilton's scrawlings are on sale.....

Big hugs and sorry to hear you're feeling a bit miserable but no wonder with nasty bully like that harassing you. ANYONE would be upset - I'd have wept buckets!! Make sure they dont charge you as their error, not yours! Would ask what action is going to be taken in terms of his intimidating manner...ask them to do you a formal response...if you want help doing a letter I am renowned for writing exceptionally good stroppy letters!! Quite enjoy them actually!! Usually get a better response than phone as they have to formally log a written complaint & respond within so many days whereas a phone call they can "forget" more easily! Revenge, no matter what people say, is ever so sweeet in some instances and I do belive my dear that this is one instance that should be pursued!!
You will get there girl you just keep plodding! As for fighting over a dolphin pattern, what is the world coming to eh!! I was thinking of a tapestry but in hindsight may be better to actually go and look as not that long to the wedding...may end up buying something quick as all this DFW stuff taking hours (well ebay does & updating here!)...Good that DD such a star! Also that decree absolute on the way...we'll have to have an online p*ss up when you get it! I'll play my divorce song (us girls MUST have a divorce song!) which is "Young at heart" which I have sung many a "merry" rendition to since the big day!! Highly recc it for stress relief! You get that bottle of wine and chill....tomorrow is another day...onwards & upwards!

listen, you'll be surprised, and i think your debt diary would make very interesting and entertaining reading

(not entertaining because you were once in debt - you're publishing this when you become debt free - but because you're such an entertaining writer)

write anything. i bet you it'd be good!!!

Your writing is brilliant i find myself coming on daily to cheer myself up, this morning i read all your past diary thread to my husband and he laughed out loud, very strange for him, i deffo think you could land yourself a job on the radio or for a magazine. keep up the good work i suspect you are already getting quite a following of moneysavers keen to support you in your future book writing, best wishes and good luck in all you do and thanks again for keeping this household entertained

Yay, I'm so glad everyone agrees - you are a brilliant writer and put us all to shame!

I'll PM you soon with some ideas of how to get started up again and how to try and make some money from it - work's a bit manic just now - but I will do it soon, I promise.

Awww, I'm going all red and blushy now - When I write my book, permission to quote you lot? I shall call it ... ummmm......

ok guys - Suggest a title for the book. On your marks...go! (Winner gets mentioned first in the Acknowledgements, after Legolas & David Tennant, natch)

Will have a think about book titile but do note that you only have 2 bodies under patio & really do feel that bully bailiff should get a space too? Suggest you start digging a hole - very wide at head end, broad shoulders, no waist & tiny leg area to save some digging?!! Title of book could be your thread title?

And a space for a bottle of fake tan. The man was the same shade as Kilroy. Just not natural unless you'e some kind of satsuma-human hybrid.
