Well got my days for college
Monday ... 9am - 4.30pm
Tuesday ... 9am - 4.30pm
Wednesday .. 9am- 12.15pm
bit gutted its that many days cos it makes my job hunting so much harder now,
the ex is viewing a house today, i am hoping he sorts hisself out cos then i can work weekends and thursdays and fridays.
i am thinking about doing 15 hours then i can still get my benefits
i mean i did want to come of benefits completely but cos of my college days, doubt i will be able to do that now and find a job with enough hours to keep me financial ok, will have to wait and see what happens
going to post my letter to equifax today r.e incorrect info, and suppose i better go and pay the tv licence i was ment to pay a few days ago, i just feel so unwell at the moment and im not a good person to be around when i ill
will post again soon

Just need some advice, if anyone can give it to me to me
on my credit report, i have two credit agreements set up, however they are showing that i have no credit limit, i have spent nothing and i owe nothing
how do i get them removed?
i dont know why they are on there, and surely they can be removed if i didnt have credit with that company in the first place!
who do i contact .. the credit agency or the company that registered the information ?
thanks in advanceWeight loss 3stone 4lbs0 -
Apologise in advance for this one, but i need a rant and let of some steam
Just so angry at the moment, my ex, who i split with because of dv, has come back wailing that he loves me etc etc blah blah blah heard it all before he will change etc etc, but i have told him straight that yes i wantim to have a relationship with the kids ( he has never harmed the kids and i trust 100% that he wouldnt ) me and him getting back together is not an option, but he still thinks i want to know, how he feels .. what about how i feel after 10 years of arguments, accusations and violence
anyway hes taken to cutting my name into his arms and i have told him that its not going to work and i think he is an a hole for doing that
ie told him im not happy in myself ( very hung up over my personal appearance )
basically i let myself become a tramp in that i couldnt be bothered to wear nice clothes, or do my hair etc etc, and im trying to get back on track because im only 25 but feel so much older
so im planning a few things to get myself sorted
i ordered some clothes that came yesterday and they look really nice, and im going to treat myself and get my eyebrows and hair done
also got an appointment with dentist on monday, so going to ask for bridges i think there called to replace two missing teeth at the back ( god i sound dreadful ) lol
but i know that the little things i do, will make me feel so much better about my self
he says im beautiful and i dont need to change, but obv im unhappy so i got 2 do something about it, for my own self confidence
i think personally hes worried i may start looking better and find someone else
but its for me
planning to go back to gym in september when kids are back and im not at college
applied for a job at sainsburys and amazingly the position i applied for fits so nicely around my college hours i think it could be fate lol
but anyway, yes, defo gonna start looking at ways to improve myself, i take so much pride in my home being clean, but need t spend time taking care of me
really looking forward to starting college
have ordered my books and the college is going to reimburse me, so thats good.
sorry about the long post, i feel better now ive written it down, attempted to sleep once and got back up again because it was playing on my mind so much
the book i ordered for college i paid for on my vanquis card, it was £21.75, so thats the money on that spent for this month, then i will clear the balance when my statement arrives
still deliberating over wether to move house or not cos of my ex, but i dont know, think he will find out anyway, aand the girls have had enough upheaval in their lives.
well again my apologies for another long boring post
but i think im ok to sleep now, and look at this again in th morning and think, why did i bore people with that lol
nevermind
night all

Girlracer, hope you dont mind but I have subscribed to your diary not in a nasty stalkerish kind of way just cos I found it interesting.
I laughed when I read about your dealings with TSB (they are muppets and thats just being polite) I have been their customer for 15 years now and though my credit report is far from perfect they really let you know that you are lucky to be with them and have a "normal" bank account
I wish you all the luck in the world in finding a new job and am sure one will pop up when you least expect it0
