    That was a very subtle hint about ebay Aesop - I nearly missed it :rotfl: :rotfl:

    You're welcome to the tea bags Froogs, I've finished with them - no taste left in them after they've been used 5 times :p Good luck with your job hunt - obviously you've done care assistant work before so hope you are successful. Hope the move goes well - I know very well how much an upheaval it can be but for us it was just the two of us, it must be a nightmare with family re schools, etc

    Hiya Kit - enjoy your lunch and sleep :D:D

    Well, I promised myself when I got up that I wouldn't come on here until I had rang to pay our rent the new direct debit starts next week and done Mr 3Dogs' DRO application. And I've done both. Rent all paid and I completed the CCCS Debt Remedy Plan online for him, which, as expected ;), came up recommending a DRO for him. So I proceeded with that and they will send a pack out to him in the next fews days. Remembering from when I did mine, he has to get an up-to-date credit report and balances from his creditors and then send everything to them. He will then need to talk to them on the phone and they will tell him how long DRO's are currently taking through them. The wait is to speak to a DRO Advisor I believe. Then it's a case of paying his £90 fee and the DRO being officially submitted while he is on the phone, and it should go through within 24-48 hours later :D

  • All done and yip I did it in word Kit, twice bitten and all that. Closing date is 5th September so can just try and forget about it. I worked hard on that application form though. We shall see.

    I get the heart matters mag every month and there was a feature on someone in the health profession moving to that very place. Sent as a sign that we're doing the right thing or just to annoy me because it might not come off! :mad:

    Brill, pappy teabags - just how [STRIKE]I like em[/STRIKE]I'm now used to them :rotfl:

    Great news on Mr3Dogs' DRO. It's all procedure isn't it, the decisions have been made, the situation requires it but still have faff about with paperwork. Oh I'm in a paperwork hating mood now :rotfl:

    Well the housework calls (yes, in this late day but that's what happens when you try to apply for jobs with kids round your feet and technology acting up.

    Hopefully be around later xx

    OMG. I rang swinton who quoted £196 then they asked if i was having structural work done. I said yes and they quoted £650! The actual building work is only going to last 1.5 weeks. Holy moly.

    I said can i ring you back after the work is done and get the lower quote. He said yes. Mum says no i must get cover for the interim in case something happens.

    Rather exciting. Anyone with any ideas???:eek::eek::eek:

    Aesop one of the guys at work recommended this for me. I dont know if it is of any help for you.

    thanks SW but you know me..... already have all these companies in hand ;)

    I can get my original cartridge refilled cheaply but I have left it too late to send off and with all the MS jobs I have coming up I need to print paperwork.

    Found another WH Smith voucher today so all is well. Now need to get to a WH Smith! :rotfl:
