Why would that worry you(fb)?
Because I understand where everything is on here, and on f/b its still kind of a mystery - where the links are and all that. I can get my head around it, but its just not familiar the way mse is.

I understand the trading. Maybe I could pm you then, Z, instead of posting on here?

If the only people who were on here were people with debts, then newcomers would imagine that there were no people who'd actually succeeded in getting rid of them.

Good point!

i second gilligans comments about the validity of your being on these boards.

i can't join the short ar€e gang unless it's honorarily but i can start a lard ar€e gang if i'm not too socially unacceptable to be in a gang.

Thank you :kisses3: And love the gang comment :rotfl:

I rely on the emails to keep me in touch, but dont' post as much as I should.
Ditto.

KC - if it wasn't for the support of all those who had dug themselves out, newbies would just go away. You still have money challenges though, as others have said. In fact your challenges are greater than mine for example, as I know that my debts will go away all by themselves if I don't increase them, and my income is enough to live on, whereas you have the issue of dwindling income.

So, so true, and well put.

I have lots of time next week free to address the trading - all that free time is due to the dwindling income of course, but there you go. Monday is actually really busy, but the rest of the week is very, very patchy. There's quite a lot of business news out next week, which my system says I mustn't trade on (the swings are too unpredictable) but that will help me in a way, because thats when I'll take breaks right away from the computer, which is what I need.

Right now, tho, I'm off, and I haven't even looked around - Sussex Egyptology is on, in a town where there's an Asda, and I have £20 in Asda vouchers burning a hole in my pocket I need to buy some pesto, of course but I'll check out the George clothes as well.

See you all later

No, no emails for me. How do I sign up for them.

KC I agree with the others re the contributions to the boards. you have lots of things to contribute and I have found some of your musings very thought provoking with regards to my own finances. Although I am on the DFW diaries and I do have debt I admit to not sharing everything all of the time, I just need to sound out certain ideas etc.

Hope you've started to get the emails sorted, cheri.

You've got me interested now with what you *don't* share, sorry :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Yeah, that's fine - just be aware I haven't put in as much time as you have into it. I looked at it, learned the various bits and bobs, then decided it was not for me.

I'm a fundie guy...

Hey Karma & crew,

I echo what everyone else has said about how valuable your contribution is. Often it's just a single sentence from you that can really help someone when they're struggling.

With my own DFD approaching I too pondered on whether I would be relevant anymore. However, apart from needing to stay to make sure good habits are firmly entrenched; I also want to stay to help, encourage & support those friends I've made who still have along way to go on their journey.

I'm too thick to do matched betting :rotfl: but I do confess to being a regular lurker over on the savings & investments board :shhh: I would like a bit of 'spare' cash to play with but am not much of gambler.

Happy Shopping Trip

Well, it isnt anything too exciting KC. Just that me and Mr C still have separate stuff and we are working on combining incomes. That's the bit I dont share because it gets complicated so I just focus on the stuff that built up thanks to the shyster surveyor undervaluing the flat. By the way, I have just had it valued at over £20000 more than the surveyor for the mortgage valued it at :eek: So that made me smile.

Would love to understand trading and I am sure that if I took time to sit down and work on it I would. I have a friend who does trading for her Mum in China (she lives in London) not really sure what she does but I do know that she gets up at silly oclock to do it.

Thats a really good point :o

I'm no gambler, except in the legal sense, that spread betting is treated like gambling (which is fine by me, as profits are tax fee )
Happy Shopping Trip

Thanks! Nothing spectacular - just lots of the substitute-for-Waitrose pesto, some provisions for lunch as I left mine in the kitchen and since it was a voucher and I deserved *something* as a treat, I splashed £3 on a DVD of Legally Blonde I've dvd'd it from the tv, but when I have a 32" LCD that won't show up very well, and this has deleted scenes and whatnot.

Egyptology was great! All about their medical knowledge in 1800BC - they had a strict protocol for their doctors to adhere to, and any that didn't could face the death penalty :eek: history books are being rewritten as we speak, because none of this was known ten years ago. Fascinating.

:T Well said Lulu. I *love* your diary and your humour KC, so please stay right where you are! :A

Have a good day

Thanks macgirl! This is definitely my "home on the web", its just that sometimes you have to leave home - but Gill and Lula have made really good factual reasons for staying, as well as being comfy and at home - so I'm staying

I quoted Cheri's last post in *my* last post but didn't say anything about it I understand now about the stuff you're not bringing in - though I find even stuff thats quite ordinary can be important to bring on here, partly because it'll get forgotten if I don't and it usually *needs* to be done :cool:. Love the sound of the trading for mum-in-China! I can understand her getting up at silly o'clock - foreign exchange trades often kick off at 6.45, and if you're trading the FTSE opening, you have to **on** at 7.30 or so. Gulp.

Today I need a quiet day - a little walk, a bit of ebaying (not much, and nothing new, just the curtain that didn't sell last time) a soak in the bath, a tidy up. It looks a nice day out there, it would be really good to do a bit of pruning.... just off round the boards to see what other people are up to
