Ok piratess take a deep breath - it will all be ok - my advice to your from now would be to keep a diary of events, i.e. note down every conversation and log letters received etc. Have you got proof of payments to 3rd feb 06, i.e. was it by dd etc?
I would also call these people for some more advice

I have rung the catalogue companies and both have said they cant find me and my account is closed as far as their records tell them! ... but the lady from kays did say to send a letter to them asking for information on my account to show its closed and then also get a letter from the debt company stating that its been passed back ... altho the woman i spoke to from moorcroft told me she wouldnt do this ! ...
am now going to ring the debt line thanks again for your support xxxHoping to be a thinner me in 2010!0 -
oooo i forgot to explain about the waste water thingy where i live we pay Bournemouth water for our water and then we pay southern water for our waste

only thing I can add is, scrap gym if you can and while it is summer go walking it would be a good way to explore etc.
Nappies, I use cloth the intial outlay can be expensive but does save money, there are several sources for pre-loved nappies, try some parenting boards they are full of tips and information. Also your local council may offer a grant or have a scheme in place to get you started, in my area we have a 6 week laundry trial service or you can get some free nappies. The WEN ( Womens Enviroment Network) also do a scheme with pre-loved nappies I believe.
A lot of places that sell nappies also have wanted/for sale adverts for people selling their nappies. Ebay can push the prices up sometime but you can get some starter packs at gpod prices. https://www.babykind.co.uk or https://www.thenappylady.co.uk has some useful help and advice.

Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
