Immoral_angel's Debt Diary

Snaggles

Thanks beanielou, I've been waiting so long to actually HAVE a bump, I just couldn't wait to show it off! I purposely got hubby to miss my head off the photo though, not to be anonymous, but because I've got a cold and look really rough hahaha

Awww you guys.... *sob*
Snaggles your bump is lovely! I still miss mine. Part of me still thinks that someone took away my bump and gave me a baby instead!

I second that about yours is the first diary I come to-I love reading your progress. I can't believe it's nearly 6 months since you first started writing this you've come a long way!

I agree about barnaby bears suggestion about transfering some of the citi onto the barclay card as i think motivation wise that's going to be a real killer especially as its the last one and you've done so much -that ones going to be a hard slog!

Morning all. K's fine this morning after her jabs. She slept most of yesterday afternoon and literally only woke up for her bottles. We put her to bed upstairs just after 9 and she slept til 9 this morning except for when she woke at 5.30 because she was cold, but she soon went back to sleep. *touch wood* she carries on like this!

We put the knackered xbox on ebay last night. To be honest I've got too much to deal with already without taking one of the countries biggest music retailers to small claims court with the possibility of losing and ending up having to pay loads in court costs. We've already had 3 questions from people wanting to buy it now with the first offering us £50! We've said to the other 2 £60 and £65 to whoever goes highest will get it. Not bad considering it doesn't work! Ste's already eyeing up a game her wants to get with the money :rolleyes: but considering we didn't pay anything for the xbox I don't mind as we can put the rest of what we make from the old xbox towards debt.
Dotty p's will be paid in no time!

If you can bothered and can solder, the xbox ring of fire is repairable following instructions on internet, invalidates guarantees etc and you have to be a non-muppet hence the value.
How about holding the xbox money back until after the driving test, so if that doesn't go ok there's a B-plan for another shot?

You know you're going to get a hard time for this don't you.;) It goes back to what I was saying about Ste not being as committed to being a DFW as you are, and you not be as committed when it comes to Ste.

The other day when you got extra in your pay packet, several of us, including me encouraged you to spend £5.99 on some clothes you NEED. You put it in the bank instead. Ste does not NEED another game, he WANTS. Since a new tv and xbox has been bought recently, this time it should really be going on debt.

I agree with Spendless you need to spend a bit of money on yourself IA as you need it. As for Ste wanting a game that is OK as long as you get to play it too. Good luck with selling on Ebay people by some strange things. By the way love your diary amazing for someone so young to be as mature as you. Keep going girl you will clear those debts in no time.

Have no idea how to solder and neither does Ste! I did read about how it's something to do with dodgy soldering and we tried the 'towel trick' on it which did make it work for an evening before it died again. Just going to cut our losses and flog it.

Just had a call from MIL. Her boyfriend who was round helping her do our garden yesterday had a heart attack last night. God I feel awful but she was constantly telling him to take it easy and not do so much. Can't help but feels it's our fault and feel so awful it's untrue....

TallGirl

That is awfull about the heart attack I hope he recovers soon as your MIL seems to be a real rock. My Dad did lots of gardening for me over Easter I hope he does not have any side effects.
