  • Good Evening. Well I got some rather exciting news today :D. CSA called me and told me my assessment per week had gone up from £5 to £52 :j:j. I wonder if I'll ever see it but OMG how good would that be :D. I am slightly excited as I reckon this time he may actually pay. He also owes > £1k in arrears so I already have a legal thing in place with them where he needs to pay £20 per week towards that so I should get £72 per week which is well exciting. I'm going to put this into my snowball to see what difference it makes but I will not include it in my monies to be paid as my kids really need some things and with Christmas coming up it will help big time with that. I will re-assess things after the festive season. I am pretty sure I am going to manage my targets for this year anyway and pay off Argos ( which is gone already) and Tesco which is now about £600. So if I manage that and also manage Christmas with no additional debt then I will be delighted.

    And I would be ecstatic to have a size 14 winter wardrobe :rotfl:. I could have one , I just couldn't wear it :eek:

  • I've been staring at my snowball and have just realised that it is on 1 page now and I dont need to scroll down to see it. That must be a good thing :D.

  • My mortgage is £28k :D but I have a secured loan of about £18k as well :(. Could pop them on once I am finished with this lot. I will be finished with it, ASAP ( picture me saying that with hands on hips , nodding my head sagely)

    I have had a sh*t day. Went into work to sort out some issues from yesterday and managed to do that. Started working on the priorities of the day ( that just had to be done) when boss gave me other jobs to do. I then asked her what my priority was as I couldn't do everything a t the same time. I'm the gobby one onthe section and I think it throws her sometimes :o but jeezo I can only do one thing at a time. I had 3 complaints to deal with , which were a priority :eek: and then I got a call to tell me my mum had the doctor in and she was to go to hospital so I just said f*ck your priorities, burst promptly into tears and went and took my mum to hospital:(. Doc was worried that she had an infection in her leg which had potential to turn into septicaemia(sp) so I was rather concerned to say the least but thankfully she is okay and at home with her sisters visiting tonight. I am so emotional when it comes to my mum and I know that she is getting worse all the time and at the moment I am just exhausted with it all. Sorry for the moan but I am scunnered ( fed up). I know my life is manic but OMG this is beyond a joke. I'm doing a masterchef catch up to cheer myself up. Making me mega hungry :rotfl:
