Ann i do so admire the way you took on your probs really i do. i pay mine each month and although it leaves me with just enough i never have any xtra. I dont know if i have the courage to do it.
like you i am not a debt dodger i think i should pay it back, so at what point do i say enough is enough?
Nanna - listen to Niddy.
We've had this conversation before and you know what I think. You have reached the point where 'enough is enough':mad::mad:
Niddy will guide you through.:T:T

I'm back now and just a quick log on before I get changed into my shorts and go in the garden.
I had a lovely hour at the Fair, some was inside some outside. A bit difficult to talk to the teachers as they were busy on the stalls but did manage to chat to some. I didn't get the chance to see all 'my' children as they had gone home at lunchtime and could come back any time between 1.30 and 4.30. It made my day though when one of the parents said that her child really misses me0 -
I second that Elsie.;)
You will be okay nanna.:AThe one and only "Dizzy Di"0 -

Nanna,
Elsie is exactly right!
And we will be here for you, as well as Niddy for all the important stuff.
If it is the phone calls which worry you, Niddy advises a change of number. I was quite stubborn and didn't do as I was called about this (!). I have caller display and as soon as I see one of "their" numbers or a "withheld" I let the call go to the answering machine. If they leave a message I never, ever return the call.
My only regret is not doing this about a year ago, while I was earning a good salary. I daren't even work out what I would have saved by not paying all that interest - and it does all go on interest. I suspect that, over the last year, I paid about £36K to the banks and probably only reduced the debt by a couple of hundred quid!
If you have any queries or doubts, ask away - I am sure Niddy or one of us will have the experience required to give you the answer."What does not kill me makes me stronger". Frederich Nietzsche, 1844-1900.0 -

Di you seem down are you ok pet your Da is in safe hands dont feel blue. He sounded a fab da and done a great job on you cos you are so caring. When you have someone ill you have to look after you for them as they rely on you to be strong. If you go down so does the ship and all hands too so chin up put on a brave little smile its all you can do and find something to do to relax just for you. Its awful when the child ends up becoming the parent. Its not easy at all XXXXXXXXXXXXXX”Pour yourself a drink, (tea for me now)
