Hi everyone :wave:
Good to get a chance to catch up with the thread.
DNMS - I'm glad you found your DD. I'll be thinking about you guys on Friday. Fingers crossed for the scan.
Stitching witch - don't get down in the dumps about the token payments to your CC. Are you making £1 a day? That means you're more than covering the interest over the month! :T
I've not had an NSD after all as I've just got an email to say that I've won something on ebay - £2.99 for my friend's pressie - not bad at all!
I'm going to make up for it by not putting the washing machine on today...v DFW, eh?! :rotfl:Nothing to do with me being lazy!
Night all xx0 -
La E how did you get to put in a msg after your name? i.e. location? things seem so much more stable today, we went and got:
Moses basket (its truely beautiful)
steriliser
8 blankets
7 newborn vests & 7 baby grows
all for £25! she seemed very happy with it. Blew my weekly budget but if it makes her feel connected to the baby and then look after herself it money well spent. Waiting for her to come home now...DF as at 30/12/16

Sorry to say this, but it's £1 a MONTH token payment :eek: My SOA shows a deficit of almost £400 a month before debt repayments so that's what CCCS suggested I offer.La_escocesa wrote: »Stitching witch - don't get down in the dumps about the token payments to your CC.

Bad, isn't it???Making magic with fabricLight travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.0 -

Uh, sorry - just me being a muppet!
But still think it's worthwhile - you're still paying towards it and not just ignoring it. We all know it's the small things that really make a difference after all. 
DNMS - if you go to Quick Links, Edit your details, Additional Information and fill in Location, that'll show up next to your name.
My question is still - how do you see avatars??? I can't see any under anyone's name - can anyone? But I do see them in the Member List.... :huh:0 -
Click on User CP, choose Edit Options from the drop down menu and quite a distance down in the "thread display options" there is a tick box for "show Avatars" - from memory so hope it makes sense!La_escocesa wrote: »
