    A bump from me too, it took me ages to find it.

    Everything ok in the Washer household, husband knows about the silly thing I did, and gave me that look of his, we have worked out how repay it using this months salary, talk about a lemonade budget, I think we are going to have homemade soup nights from now until next pay date, curried carrot soup anyone? At least I won't need fake tan, I'll be a tango shade of orange soon eating carrot soup for the next few weeks!

    Hope you are all well.

    See you all tomorrow, sleep well.x.

    WASHER.

    Brilliant news, Washer, really glad OH has been understanding and you're sorting it all out now.

    Glad you found us again - the old thread was getting a bit long so we had to move.
    See you tomorrow x

    Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

    What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.

    If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
    We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

    what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

    firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

    The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
    Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

    It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis

    PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


    Kind wishes
    P



    Hello :wave:and welcome to any newbies and lurkers out there trying to pluck up courage to post. There are loads of people on here willing and ready to give you lots of advice and support. Please read the message above and try to ignore any deliberately hurtful messages - trolls feed on attention so if you ignore them they will go away.
    Good luck on your debt-free journey:)

    Someone just stole my post???

    Anyhoo here it is again.

    Good Morning all.

    Hope everyone is well. Hope we get some of our other regulars back soon, MF if you are reading hope you are doing okay.

    Washer good to hear from you and good news that you have a plan. Carrot soup is very tasty, although maybe not after days and days of the stuff.
    Hope that you are employing all the tips you have picked up over your DFW life to manage through til next month, roll on next payday!

    Have a good day all and take care out there, there could be trolls lurking.
