  • REPORTING 2 MORE NSD WED AND THURS THAT MAKES 19 SO FAR.
    Today will be a nsd if i can't borrow a small amount just for bread and milk,i've got nearly £5 in 5ps i'm about 50p short but was going to use that to top leccy up for the weekend and the copper jar not even a £.:(
    Hopefully all my finances will be in better shape after i've spoken to cccs at 1oclock everyone who has mentioned them say they are really helpfull just wish i'd found them sooner things have never been this bad i'm usually good with money but the last 2 yrs things been getting harder can't even manage the lowest payments, doc put me on anti depp tabs just don't seem to have the energy to do stuff everything takes ages :sad: just putting washing on line means a sit down for a while i'm tired all the time lately oh well at least i can sit while i talk to cccs just hope i can remember everything they tell me i don't like owing money out.
    When i had all the tribe at home everything was paid on time except when their dad drank most of it(he wouldnt admit he was an alcoholic) one of the best things i did was call it a day that was nearly 7 yrs ago so why do i still feel so bad?

    ETA sorry for the long post didnt realise

    :( I hope the cccs can help you xxx ((((hugs))))

    No NSD since last time I logged in and probably not any more for the month as I am taking advantage if the Mr T DTD promotion :D I think it's worth a punt to stock up on some stuff so later in the year I spend less (well, thats the theory!)...Blown the GC budget as well because of the promotion....there is always next month ;)

    BMF - glad to hear you're out on licence ( dont worry, I wont grass you up!) Now that's an idea! Need to check the lawnmower after it's been stood idle all this time...
    Ah yes folks..normal service has well & truly been resumed, as I came a gnat's breath from leaving her at the out-of-town supermarket yesterday when she went to the loo :angry: There's a thread on here about words & phrases you cannot stand to hear, & I'm going to add "if I were you" & "if it were me" bomb.gif....

    ....took my ill gotten gains to the bank on Wednesday and was promptly informed I couldn't deposit change into the bank. Apparently now banks only accept money all bagged up into the same denomination, i.e. 100 pennies, 50 2ps etc. According to the three banks I went to it's been like this for about 6 years or more....So I just deposited £3 in change into the account with the overdraft and left. Ho hum.
    How strange uneasy.gif My high street bank is very good about taking change & last time I handed over a bag of assorted shrapnel in with the rest, by mistake. She offered me the chance to sort them out there & then, I explained that there wasn't the 'full quota' to make up a bag of each & she said it didn't matter, providing they were not mixed coinage! Perhaps we should do some investigating to make our own Champion Change Changers Chart :D
    Look on the bright side tho..it's still three quid off your overdraft :o

    I've been trying to work out what this is LMH; I'm like one of those demented mad.gifscientists who scrawl formulaic equations over the walls & there's clumps of greying hair wafting in the breeze from the open back door, to settle on the fuzz not yet dispatched from yesterday's ravings :rotfl: Then again, do I REALLY want to know :o

    Much mental macarena & mambo-ing, as the spirit is up for the Friday Wiggle but the flesh is flagging. Hope the rest of the day is a good one for yooze guys :wave:

    Erm..........I might be wrong, but is it Double the Discount? However, what does ETA mean? I see some posters using this and I havent a clue what it means:think:

    Thought I'd posted here earlier this morning... but apparently not!

    Yesterday and Wednesday were both NSD's for me, which brings my total up to 10 NSD's :)

    I've bought lunch today, and will be going food shopping after work so today will not be number 11 unfortunately. I honestly don't think I will be able to hit my target of 15 this month as I'm pretty sure there's at least 2 more days where DD's and SO's will be going out, but I don't think I've done too badly overall :D And I'm already getting myself organised for April...
