    Could you guys answer a question for me i'm prob being a little dumb could you tell me what these stand for DS DH DD etc i know there with regards to family but not sure what the D bit is for thank you:think:

    It's just dear/darling, I guess it evolved to make things a bit clearer than just using S, H, D etc which might look more like initials.

    DS = dear son
    DH = dear husband
    DD = dear daughter
    DSD = dear stepdaughter

    etc

    Hi all,

    Just thought i'd share a nugget of information with you. I thought i'd be a little bit brave and check one of my credit reports, i have done this with equifax. It doesn't look that bad. They don't give you a score but you can see how many late payments etc.

    in my situation i didn't make late payments or miss any. I went from paying the agreeded amount straight to CCCS payments. On my 2 CC's it has AP arrangement to pay and on MBNA/Virgin it has on a DMP. i wonder how this will affect things in the future? it doesn't show late//missed payments or any defaults as yet which is all good i suppose, just that i am still paying every month.

    I might bung this on a thread on the min board see what response i get?

    Will chat later i guess.

    Got home today and had the statement from M & S - estimated interest next month 0!!:j Had to read it three times to make sure, I wasn't seeing things!

    Had an International call last night - when I picked up the phone (thinking it was DD in Germany) there was nothing there, checked with her but it wasn't them. Nothing today so far though, thank goodness 2 months in now and don't want the calls to start again:(

    Catch you later

    Pollywoggle you're number 17! Whereabouts in Northumberland you going, might give you a wave :wave:Im in the Tyne Valley near Hexham. And Im afraid it aint so sunny, just very very windy!!!

    Tedsd I've popped a thread on the DMP board for anyone whos got lost, Im a bit dubious about starting another new thread as they might just move us again. I agree though its very confusing.

    Nanny its great isnt it when you get those 0% statments. Natwest havent stopped mine and I now owe them more than I did before I started my DMP. Never mind, guess it'll work out in the end.

    I got my child tax credit paid into the bank today and they've added around £110 extra since DS got the DLA award... hopefully they wont take it away again when I tell them about the carers allowance. Looks like I might be able to pay at least an extra £200 a month which will bring my DF day nearer to 2013 :j:j:j
