    I've just rung the insurance co. and they hv rcvd the proof of my no claims bonus. I asked when I would receive the check for the 680 I've had to pay up front and they said that they are looking in to it and will give me a call next week. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that they are looking in to the payment and not the no claims bonus.

    OMG!!!! It's been bugging me all day why the insurance co. said they would ring me next week so I rang them back and spoke to the most lovely man in the whole world who told me that the cheque was actually dispatched on Monday by first class post and should be at the house as I type. I have just texted the tenants to ask when Ian go and get the post

    Right.......... todays debts are:

    Halifax OD = 2457.56
    Halifax CC = 176.87
    HFC Bank = 494.33

    Credits = 120 Quidco:j

    Total Debts = 3008.76 :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    (got to laugh!!)

    The mortgage co. didn't receive my mortgage hol application so I've had to pay that too - however I think it may be best in the long run.

    Oh Dear :o

    I'm not doing very well at all. I've been really depressed and have just been silly with money. I started crying about 2 weeks ago and can't stop!!:confused: :eek:

    My debts are now at about 3600 - I promise to work out the total soon. I've just seemed to have lost it this month. I haven't done anything towards the Olympic Challenge and failed miserable at giving up money for lent.

    I would usually describe myself as a positive person but I just feel really sad right now :cry: I need to have a complete life overhaul and really think about what I want from life and where my life's heading. But I'm on the right tracks - I just need these bleeding water works to dry up!!

    Luv Jxx

    Sadness is water soluble. You cry to wash it out of you. When the sadness has gone - you'll stop crying.

    Don't worry about it - it was bound to happen. Just get on with planning your life - and stop using retail therapy...you know it doesn't work.

    Hope you feel better soon. :grouphug:

    I've decided on 100 pounds a wk coz it works out that I will be debt free by 21/12/2007 providing I've got the figures right this time.

    I'm going to start on Fri n would really appreciate any support to keep me going - yes I know it's for a whole 9 months, but I keep slipping - as u can see from my thread and I need to stay motivated really badly!!
