thanks everyone. dillidalli how come you were thinking of me?

dillidalli

hhhonlyfan - honestly you popped into my head because you hadn't posted in a while and I wondered how the website was going.
I should be asleep gah... went to bed at 10pm, woke up at 2.30...
The one night I know I get a lie in and yet I can't sleep!

posting this now at stupid o'clock because I'll have forgotten it by to[strike]morrow[/strike]night-

I dreamt about MSE&Sulkies
there was some sort of unoffical MSE outing to a shopping centre with a cafe/tea room.
I was mid conversation with somebody sat at a table, assuming they were a member of this thread. They mentioned liking Alanis Morrisette (:huh:), I started to /was about to jokingly suggest "you should get a Sulkie made (like the dribblers one) based on Alanis in that video, you know the one with the translucent dangling carrots" (genuine lyrics to Thank U !, well almost - she's apparently naked but covered up by her hair in the video)

but I called the Sulkies, Sukies or Suzies, and they didn't know what I was talking about, ended up explaining - "they're little clay angry people" them - "do they look like the real people?"

things then got slightly surreal - "talk to Babymoo, that's a person who's doing the challenge, not a small cow. You don't want to start talking to a small cow..." :huh::huh:

I mentioned merkins once but think I got away with it.

then the dream moved on, and I was browsing a discount books shelf (like in WHsmiths) , found a book that was an 'autobiography'/diary of someone who'd started a humourous/sarcastic review blog (bit like regretsy/cakewrecks etc), got famous because of it, and their pride related fall from grace...
except it had a mock cover based on a video they'd reviewed, that made it look like an inspirational book about understanding/loveing your pets (complete with soft focus photo of a cat), and the tag from the editor of 'Which Cat magazine' - !!!!!!?

Jenna! What a dream.... and yep don't worry, I have been up since stupid o'clock too. That dream sounds mental lol

Morning,

Found the laptop charger now!

Wish I had caught the post last night Mambury, spent ages trying to suss out that site, worryingly they asked for my EBay password. Remembered you mentioning a site before but didn't fancy trying to find it in all the dribble. Found Auctionpixie on someone elses listing. Right now to try again with one that does work!

Loving the dream Jenna! And I thought the smurfs I dreamt about were bad!

My lovely daughter, had a temperature yesterday, no other symptoms, but she decided to just sleep on the sofa for most of the afternoon, and was up at half five this morning, waking up the other one. Can't work it out, think she maybe ill, but not sure! Still, she seems ok, but still hot, its like hugging a hot water bottle.

OH decided to put A haunting in Conneticut on last night and I have a seriously over active imagination so not good! Would recommend it if you like scary ones, it certainly is different!

EBay, EBay, EBay today for me, plus PO again! The one thing I miss now that I have kids, is the difference between weekdays and weekends, they all just blur into one now, no different, just another day May take them to the soft play place today, just so I know it is a Saturday!

Bankrupcy - well, all I can do is recommend this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Book-Bankruptcy-Simple-Guide-Remedies/dp/1438946295/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1269673766&sr=8-1 bloke who wrote it is a bankrupcy officer and knows all the loopholes, not trying to push it, but he has had people use the template in this book come through him and succeed in keeping things and getting around certain laws, he did have to take half of the good loopholes out though, or he would have lost his job, but there are some really good tips in it. Bankrupcy officers are paid commission for all successful prosicutions that they make against people who want to go bankrupt, so hhh, don't know where you would stand owning your own business. Reason I say don't want to push it, is because he is OHs best friend. So have read the thing as it was being written, but it is proof that if you know your subject well enough, you can make money from it.

PS I used to work in debt collection so if anyone needs any private help let me know.

The CCCS and CAB are by far the best, but when I worked in collections some 9 years ago, they were so busy and it took forever for people to get an appointment. I am guessing they are probably much busier now !!!

Please dont be tempted by the charging companies. I got into an argument with one of them on this site last year as I was apparently blackening their name and work. But why pay for a service you can do for free yourself?

I cant or wont give advice on bankruptcy or IVAs. I can tell you what they are and what they mean, but thats it. ~But if you want some support, some guidance, a step by step approach with what to expect and how to deal with it and how to work out pro rata payments, then let me know

If you want general information, there is positively loads on this site - just search the forums and you will be amazed !

MMTWGR - fantastic advice and thank you. I must admit I walked into the CAB on monday morning and had an appointment last minute for a debt counsellor on the Tuesday. They will fit people in if it is very urgent otherwise they said it is about a 5-7 day wait, I can imagine the watiting times could be diff all over the place as our local office no longer makes first appointments it is a walk in and sit and wait now, What I like about the CAB is the fact that it is face to face and it really was like someone holding my hand and they stood up to my car company and helping me take them to court to get a time order and all the obscene letter charges (£75 a time) etc. I have been so impressed and can honestly will never see them in the same light, if that makes sense. I am know where near the end of things but for the first time in a long time I feel like I can breathe again.
