    Hiya Chev,

    Thanks for the lovely message :) I have to as I see him each day at work and believe you me he certainly appears not to have been affected by it all!

    Oooh I will try and have a go at uploading one later then! He is beautiful and he is my baby...even though he is a massive beast! I love him so much (the cat I mean, not the ex lol! :D).

    Up to 11 bids on the tickets but still no more bids...please please please ebayers bid on my tickets!

    I really hope that dam loan paperwork is waiting for me at home too. Want to get things moving as the longer it takes, the more interest I am forking out on those silly cards! xxx

    Drat meant to say 11 watchers and still only 1 bid! Ho hum!

    Up to 13 watchers now, gawd I hope it goes above the £40 starting bid I put on. Finishes at 11pm so will wait and see.

    Loan agreement is through so gonna post it tonight which may mean that I have the money for Monday. Now I have the policy number I can chase with Quidco too, for my £42.55 quidco payment.

    Off to Kickboxing in a bit. I feel shattered out so may try for an early night after class but probably won't happen! I will be too excited about the ebay lol! :rotfl:

  • Hello BOB! Great to hear from you and really hope all is well with you :)

    Can't believe that after soooo long I still haven't made proper headway with this debt but jeez any lightbulb moment before was a flicker compared to this one I can tell you! Especially now handling everything on my own. I need time alone to focus on myself and taking care of Emily and however much I loved my ex, he wasn't the one for me as never put in what I did and I have learnt that that really isn't fair :(

    xxx

    You have made inroads into hun, and don't forget life makes inroads as well..there has to be a balance somewhere.

    As for life being fair- well just remember this, you can hold your head up high while he has slinked away with his tail between his legs. You have tackled it and you will win..not everyone is like that. He sort of did that to get out of everything and i am not against bankruptcy just against his method of getting at you- if that makes sense. He certainly never made it easy for you and as i said, you will find the right one.

    It is good to focus and at least you have always kept your independence, one day you can turn around and pat your self on the back for 'having made it through' x
    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    Roll on that day :) It will be such a relief I can tell you!

    Have just filed a claim with Quidco for the loan not showing up. Really hope it gets accepted so I can get my £42.55! Which will go straight to the card.

    Booked the MOT in for a week tomorrow. Will see about service afterwards as might be a good idea to see if it gets through the MOT first! xxx

  • Hey DK, so nice to see you back, although sorry to hear your relationship has broken down. I remember way back when you were on GMTV, really glad you are getting somewhere debt busting too. I shall be watching your thread and hope to give you some encouragement along the way... Take care :A

    Ay up PAP! :wave:

    Gawd that feels like a lifetime ago :rotfl:What a hoo haa that was! Yes, haven't really gotten quite as far as I had hoped as life kinda got in the way. I haven't really been focused for ages and ended up wasting sooo much money on rubbish like takeaways and wine etc that I ended up being in my overdraft for the last 2 months and I have never had that happen before, even when I was a student!

    At least I won't be doing that again for a long while. Hit me hard thinking I should have worked harder and even my dad thought I had cleared it all so was a little stunned when he found out otherwise!

    At least the whole relationship break up thing is giving me the focus I need to get back out there and get my life sorted.

    Hope all is well with you xxx

    Well tickets sold for £72 so that is a bit better than the £40 they were at earlier!

    Hopefully they will pay me asap so I can get the tickets out to them. Well if I add that to the money I made for selling the guitar and hopefully the Quidco money if that comes through, that's over £150 right there :) Happy days!

    Off to bed now and soooo hope I get a good nights sleep as have been very tired recently and seem to be eating everything in sight, just to try and stay awake! Not good! Roll on the weekend :) xxx

    Hey everyone, hope all is well in DFW land!

    Well finally the ebayer paid for the tickets but left off the postage fee :( They have been in contact today and have requested I send the tickets asap, tell him the price and he will pay it via paypal...so have not yet been able to transfer the money but hopefully won't be long. Usually I would have said no, you pay postage first then I send them, but I can't deal with the stress at the mo so will post them first thing tomorrow and hope he is a man of his word.

    Quidco have said they are following up on the claim for the £42.55 so that is something.

    Payday on Monday so will hopefully get the money for the guitar I sold to the guy at work...that's £50.

    Had an awful night last night as ended up getting so very upset about my ex. It was horrible. Feel like I am back to square one which is not nice at all :(

    Well busy weekend ahead, off to see folks first thing tomorrow, friend coming for dinner tomorrow, mountain biking (hopefully) Sunday morning and possibly cinema Sunday night. I am trying very hard to have something going on each day to help keep my mind busy. It will be nice when I can slow down and chill but at present I need to stay active.
