    Hi fellow Scotsmen/women :wave:

    If you decide on a meeting place count me in too, I live in the west end of Glasgow but drive so I'm not fussy if it's further afield.

    We could have 8 weekly meetings or something like that to really spur each other on. Similar to weightwatchers in a way (lol) where we admit if we met our target or not! What dye all think?

    Sounds a great idea LittleL. Was feeling quite down when I suggested the last one so can we make it soon? :o

    Central heating broke on christmas eve and storm damage on hogmanay and a lodger that owes me money. Not a happy bunny at all. :(

    Aww unixgirl don't feel down, you've started a fab thread here and it looks like it's all gonna come together. I'm definitely up for it, the next 2 weekends are busy for me but afterwards I'm fine.

    I'm having a crappy time aswell. My December DMP payment didn't reach CCCs (post office mucked it up!) so I'm getting all the nasty letters/phonecalls from my creditors again. I really can't take anymore!!! I've also got a few personal issues that need tackling and i feel I have the weight of the world on me today.

    Listen chin up, we need to set a date/place/time etc...

  • Hey Elantan!
    Not up to much lately started my new job and loving it!

    we're hopefully re-mortgaging so I will be clearing my debt that way had financial advice told us with all the developments down our area if we move out just now we stand to lose 30k!!! :eek: so selling up in 2 years!
    But re-mortgaging and then saving the money we are paying to debt for a bigger deposit! Mse is making me obsessed! lol


    Sazzler the new tmobile store in Irvine needs part timers I think check out there website https://www.t-mobile.co.uk and also the new carphonewarehouse in the retail park.
    Isn't the knowledge that comes from experience more valuable than the knowledge that doesn't?

    Hey all not been on in a while been busy as i guess you all have been too.

    Things any better Unix?

    Just been reading up on what ive missed and noticed that you were all planning on meeting up no the last weekend in Jan. No a good one for me lol, Birthday weekend for my self so i think ill be rather drunk for most of that :beer: Since its a rather important one lol.

    Now threatened BOS with court action after they refused to refund bacnk charges :mad: ah well, heres hoping i get somewhere after this next letter.

    Car broke down on christmas eve right outside tesco WHAT A NIGHTMARE just as it closed and it was like a mad exedous with everything trying to get home.

    Saying that it took the AA an unbelieveable 7 mins to get to me which to me was shockingly good.

    Since then no end of bother but still under warranty but the good old Bas***ds who are Arnold Clark give me a date of Jan 17th to get it booked in to fix it.

    Anyways i better stop blethering on before i bore you all.

    Oh by The way Happy new year to everyone and hope you had a good one.

    My experience of BoS and bank charges is that you will need to raise the court action. Then they will send you a letter anouncing their intention to defend the claim... make you sweat a bit.

    And then 5-10 days later I got a letter saying the money was in my bank!!
