Debt Free by 40 Debt Diary

Hiya OD!

I think you need to get rid of your OH baggage! He's dragging you down!!!

I thought I would never meet anyone else after getting divorced six years ago. I wasn't even sure I really wanted another relationship - it took ages to get over the divorce (no kids thank goodness so a clean break was possible).

Four years ago, I signed up to an online site and in January last year I decided I would give it up - lots of frogs but no princes!!

Luckily, two weeks before my membership was up, and the day after my birthday last year - I met a prince - he's three years younger than me, an architect, solvent, is SO loving and thoughtful. We got engaged at New Year and we are getting married this summer!

That is a lovely ending to your search for a prince Angela!

How mad is it that my stomach feels like a washing machine? Will the pay slips arrive today? Won't they?

To explain why I need the change of car so desparately, I had a spinal cord injury in 2001 and I lost all sensation in my left leg from the knee down. It is like having a dead leg - but it is permanent. When I drive, I can't feel the clutch under my foot and I have to judge where the biting point is which is difficult when pulling away/doing a 3 point turn etc. I'm also in permanent pain in my lower back and in my leg due to the damage and can only drive 2 or 3 miles before the pain gets too much and my leg and foot gets 'tired'. When it happened my foot just 'hung' and it took a couple of years before I could walk on sand, in the woods. I can't wear any type of heel again as I have no balance (I literally just fall over!!!) which is why I like to collect flat pointy shoes!

There are three Mondeo's all for sale locally in garages around the £900 mark. All P reg, new shape ones, automatic which would be perfect. If I don't get the back pay, then I can't change cars until the unsecured debt is paid off and it is becoming more urgent as time goes on.

No payslip........aaaaaaaarrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh.........the agony (big drama queen gesture!!) Guess I will have to wait until the morning when I log on to my online banking - or wait until after midnight and see if it is onlin then!

Yes, he is my doggy who lives with my XOH. Changed my avatar yesterday. He is the light of my life (dog, not XOH!!) He's a very smiley boy who has listened to all my woes over the months, he is a great listener!

and....? please let it be a good answer...

oakdale_minx

somebody walked in to have a chatter with me as I picked up the phone!!!! I was willing them to go!!!

The bank says they can't tell me as it doesn't show until their systems start to update tonight.

I told my OH last night that I was getting a bit paranoid that I might have it all wrong and I won't get any and he basically didn't believe me. He kept saying 'you know how much you will get, you know how to work it out', I said I wasn't sure where it would be worked out from and he wouldn't have it! He said 'well, how will payroll work it out?' and I said I didn't know because I didn't know if it was relevant from 2 years ago, 1 year ago, July 2006 or October 2006. In the end I said " I do NOT know how much I will be getting and I do NOT know how they work it out". And left it at that.

GettingThingsDone

but you do really?
