Deep breath, close eyes and jump in.. Diary of my journey

  • Right... I now have things on eBay and some textbooks on Amazon, so fingers crossed for some money coming in!

    So far, I've had 5 NSDs and infact, I returned a shirt to Asda and got my £12 refund today (it was meant to be for a job interview, but when I tried it on at home, my lighting is different and you could see my underwear!! Hence, I didn't wear it and went in a top I already had) !

    On the creditor/DMP front, 4/9 of them have cashed the cheques and I even spoke to M&S today - and they've accepted my DMP for 3 months, with a review in August :j. The chappy was very nice on the phone and we went through my oustanding balances and monthly DMP payments to all creditors and he seemed happy with my calculations :T.... 1 down, 8 to go!

    Well on a good side of this mess, I have a day off work tomorrow! This is for my reduced hours, with NO overtime allowed (to see if it improves my illness levels) - more time to put stuff on eBay tho :rotfl:.

    Hope everyone is having a good day and that money things are going well.

    Take care and will go put kettle on for a nice cuppa if you all want one :p
