  • Good morning MG :hello:

    Have been reading this thread for some time, it's the first one i turn to and wow, you are 'fandabbydozey! 'as my Dgk's say!
    Proof that each of us has a deep well of resourcefulness that we can tap into anytime and that there IS an answer to whatever the universe puts our way.
    Having had a very up and down life so far,i'm 62! i know that all the life lessons i have learnt so far have brought me to the wonderful place i am today.
    You go girl !!

  • MG I've sent ££ and a PM, looking forward to the book (although the first challenge is finding the time to read it!)

    Very excited about all your plans!

    MG, how lovely, things are on the up :D

    I wouldn't think the tax credits bunch get thanked very often for screwing up claims....but you have turned a bad situation round.

    Personally, I can't wait for the books to arrive :T

    memorygirl reporting in before the school run.

    Everyone who has given me an address has now got a book in the post - there are a few who's postal addresses i am still short - but only a very few.

    Furthest flung book is winging its way to cornwall - with the closest being two streets away from where I live (I'm now going to be wondering every time i pop round LIDL who the other DFW'er is in town:D)

    you guys are truly amazing - and have helped my family out a very deep hole. in a few days you have helped me raise just shy of
    £500 - and you know how far I can make that stretch.

    If the tax credits get sorted then I am going to try and make the money left over into the seed money for getting me back to work:T:T

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:in years to come when i am fabulously wealthy and successful and of course would never deign to talk to the likes of you - you'll be able to watch me on the telly and curse "ungratefull cow!!!! if it hadn't been for me she would be nothing!!!!!":rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    seriously guys - i will be eternally gratefull - for more than just the money. you have been the messengers of the universe this week and i promise that this time i am paying attention.:D

    off to do the mommy stuff - and of course its band practice tonight too:T:cool::T

    Hi there MG

    You need to PM me your address again so I can send a wee cheque off for the books.

    I've handed them in to work & they'll be read & have been put on an agenda for a meeting on the 11th (I did say you'd be willing to drop in for a coffee & a chat) so hopefully something might come from that.....

    Take care
