Morning all,
:eek: O no mama re the A&E......its such a fun way to spend the day!
and :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: re the school, that made me laugh.
Well the gremlins have hit again:eek:, remember those blocked drains we had a while ago.......well they're back:eek: Water service came out and put a camera down and pipe is packed full of stones:eek: something that has developed over years! unfortunatly it is on our property so is our responsibility:eek::eek::eek: so phoned drain people and will cost about £70 - £100:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Wish I had a credit card.......im only joking no I dont;) just seems to be one thing after another feel like im never going to get the DMP started.
This has been an expensive week, both kids do jujitsu and are both grading in 2 weeks so that was £25 also DD hasnt got her uniform yet and cant grade without it so thats another £30, we tried on ebay etc but couldnt get one so that was £55 paid out last night which was OK could just about manage that without and hugh impact anywhere else but now these bl**dy drains. I dont want kids to give up the jujitsu they have gave up other things due to our lack of money but they really enjoy this and it is such a good atmosphere and has real disipline in it and really gives them a sense of acheavment cant speak highly enough of the club it is such a positive enviornment and is great exercise and once you reach a certain point it actually counts as a qualification.......sorry think that was just me having a wee vent to justify it:o
You know what I would just love to sell up and run away somewhere to start all over again.
O well better go get house tidied up a bit dont even have all the curtains open yet , such a bad bad wife/mother:(
Will check back in later have a good day all.LBM - March 2010Paddle no. 15 :j0 -

Hi Andy - I so know what you mean about that old cc comfy cushion! It wasn't really though it was just pretending to be there to help as we now know! When I saw how much you drains were going to be I thought that was good price! Hopefully your gremlins will have popped off when your dmp does start. Ours stopped us building up an emergency fund and are still clobbering us so we still havent got one:(Try again next month!
:eek:jujitsu uniforms and grading - but it sounds like its great for your kids so:D
Are those curtains open yet?DMP mutual support thread member 371LBM Jan 2010DMP Paddle No 20 -
lol Mama, yes finally got them open and all tiding done:D
Kids home now so going to do a bit of planting.
A little tiny bit of good news, went next door to tell them the drain people would be gaining access to drains through the manhole on their side and she gave me £30 for DH cutting their hedges the other day:D, they're a wee elderly couple in their 80's and appreciate the help. Did feel a bit guilty taking it but they insisted.LBM - March 2010Paddle no. 15 :j0 -
Well I just knew it just when things were going smoothly Shiti stick a spanner in the works. They informed me today that they have rejected the offer CCCS have made even though they phoned me and tole me they had accepted. Got a statement today and they have charged me including charges and interest £450 + £398 from last month.
CITI Bank are a waste of space. CCCS inform me that they will pass the debt to a DCA who may stop the interest in 5 months.
In the interim I am writing a letter to the Chief Executive, The Chancellor and the FSA to show them how the banks treat people in debt.
CITI clearly do not support people who hit hard times.
If anyone knows the Chief Exec name please let me know.
