Sneaks on quietly for some R&R. :-)
Not had much time to catch up with folk so hope you are all well and surviving the rigors of this current govt.
As for myself- well life has come to a funny crossroads- i am at a bit of a stalemate as i just seem to have given up on a lot of things. Not money saving- that is well ingrained in me! Just in a weird situation where i want to move forward but find that i am held back constantly by emotional blackmail. I have come to realise that it has played havoc with my health this year and i now know it is because i have kept everything in for too long.
Solutions aren't going to be easy- they never are, but a change is a coming as they say.
Just needed to get it out there and off my chest metaphorically speaking.

No, they are never easy in those situations. Emotional blackmail only works because we expose those soft tender parts of our psyche to other people. There are a number of fixes for that, but none of them are painless.boredofbeingathome wrote: »Just needed to get it out there and off my chest metaphorically speaking.

Awww BOB I don't blame you having a wobbly.Life is hard enough as it is at the moment without all the other crap.Z is always a man of such wise words.

Sneaks on for a bit-just cos! Found my old diary and thought i would hop on for a bit as missing folk and have to say i have been reading a few other diaries.
Also to say i am on the lookout for a b*ll blasting letter to send to Santander on behalf of Mr.B. He had a post card sent with name, ref no and ring us urgently on the back..now i know this against debt collection guidance and i even found the paragraph relating to it..now to compose a letter which will get me ultimate satisfaction
So how is everyone? Hope all the debt busting is going down a treat!
Mr.B and joint debts have been calculated to be a while longer.:/
Good news is that the Mortgage is right down-bad news is that income has dropped due to illness but that should improve.
That's me caught up then..off for a looksieBlackadder: 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?

So two letter templates from National Debtline downloaded-appropriate paragraphs inserted ( Thanks to Fermi's updated guidance)
