    To be honest, I kind of expected it.
    We are still going to go camping I think...and I did see them in April so not too upset tbh.
    Thanks Claire-have replied to PM as well x

    I just had a phone call from MBNA-bearing in mind I have had my DMP with CCCS since 2006-saying my CC was going to default and possibly go to a DC.

    Erm, yeah? And? Was this a threat? I already have a CCJ, hundreds of black marks on my credit file, this is NOT a big deal!

  • Ummm life is quite frankly pants for me lately. So intead of sitting her feeling sorry for myself I have decided to do something :rotfl: So... Today will be the last day of my diet coke & fizzy straw diet :o If I have to take a pay cut in work I will apply for a different job (with said paycut) that I would rather be doing that stood serving coffee :mad: Just because people say I can't/won't/shouldn't do this that or the other doesn't mean I have to listen to them ;) Just because I am in a 'dead end' job doesn't mean my imput and voice in life is any less than someone earning much more than me....

    Its not a diet, its just what I have been eating for the past 5 days. Diet coke and Morrisons fizzy straws :o Not good, so not good. The effects the sugar has on my pcos is disastrous and the aspartame in the coke kick starts my depression. As you can tell not a very good mixture for Pap :rotfl:

    Afternoon all

    I'm a happy bunny this afternoon, just worked out that all being well OH will not go overdrawn this month, which will hopefully put his account approx £200 better off next month (although we do both have birthdays), hopefully this is the first step to having more and more left over each month.

    In other news I havent heard from the job I applied for yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for something soon as it would put us in a much better position financially, and at long last we'd be able to start saving to buy a house & take our dream holiday to Jamaica :)

    Sorry to read that some of you are having rough days today, I hope things improve for you, and I'll help if I can.

    Lots of love

    Pap-I can recommend my crisps and Crunchie diet???


    Well,actually I can't-it's just as carp..need to get a grip too!

    Biometric assesment lady says she can fix 99% of her patients...but I'm not one of them:(..she says I need to see someone way more qualified,and many £££££££.
    Debt-free...and staying that way...
  • Bunny - sorry to hear your dad can't make it over to France, but as you've said you saw him earlier in the year.

    Claire - good luck with selling the stuff on ebay.

    Butti - you will make the right choices.

    PAP - sending lots and lots of hugs your way. As they say Rome wasn't built in a day and small steps is the right way to go about changing things.

    As an aside, I feel rubbish. Me and the toilet bowl at work became friends for 5 mins, but on a brighter note it's the cleanest it's been for ages!
