    This is a new thing for me Ally, it wasnt as difficult as I thought. I asked he said yes! He's a good father and won't shirk his responsibilities....even if he is a pr*ck sometimes!!! Lol

    We had no kids. My ex walked out 5 years ago leaving me with £10000 of debt that wasn't my own. Only £2000 of "our" £12000 debt was my debt and I didn't know until we split that the git had taken out loads of debt in my name! Applications were made behind my back, signatures forged and post hidden from me. The Police didn't want to know because I could prove nothing and the git had moved to Holland.

    I can't get me ex to even reply to calls, messages, emails or texts. The git-from-hell now lives overseas in hiding! Good! Now I have a happy, new life with a wonderful OH and the git is unhappy!

    After a long fight with banks I have £3050 of debt now. £2000 of that is my own debt and it should all be paid off Dec 2012. Happy days.

    I think we should set up a new law, similar to Sarah's Law but for ex's who run up debts then run away

    Happy Friday to all of you gorgeous small thingers!!

    You are all so inspirational! I just wanted you to know that!!

    Another WFH day today and hopefully will be NSD, we're going to go for a walk after dinner, shopping is here and we don't need to go anywhere, if I can just keep my diet-sabotaging-evil voice in check (I'm doing WW and feeling the need to eat high pointy foods) we have low point snacks in the cupboard, and if I can just keep it all together I'm going to let myself relax over the weekend!

    So today, I have/will:
    - check bank
    - all food from stores
    - same with drinks
    - check pigsback/onepoll etc
    - searches through swagbucks and click on affiliate link
    - work hard! want to clear my to do list today
    - sparkle! (thanks josie!

    Can't think of much else at the mo.
    determined could you give me a bit more info (or point at a link) on the VSP thing? sounds really interesting
    Thanks all, hope you have a great day xxx
    Clicking, searching and surveying my way to a life of debt freedom!

    Try not to argue with DH when he comes in tonight or if he phones.
    All meals from stores I've decided to get a take away for me and ds, as I'm really not in the mood for cooking tonight.

    Hi everyone,

    My supervisor is quite frankly taking the michael today so **** it, I am posting when I should be working! She strolled in at 9.56am (we all start at 8.30am) & has gone for lunch, assumedly for a full hour...:mad:

    EDIT:- I should probably add this is becoming a regular occurrence again hence my annoyance, a 1 off would be fine...& she did take a full hour!

    I will catch up with your posts properly later.

    • [STRIKE]Used freebie deodorant that I am being paid to trial[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Made use of free water/milk at work[/STRIKE]

    • [STRIKE]Handed in PDR form to supervisor - goes towards my bonus :)[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Stay in for most of my lunchtime to avoid spending [/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Pop to the post office to post ebay sale[/STRIKE
    • [STRIKE]Check online banking[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Dinner from meal plan[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Check for surveys[/STRIKE][STRIKE] & completed 2 using new Valued Opinions app :D Will check again when I get home[/STRIKE]
