    I'd go for deodorant over perfume. It should do the same but you get a better spray than perfume. google it lol

    I hope you won't need this but useful to know in advance I think.

    Found this too.

    (Prison is a worse case scenario I know but actually it's even worse because you still have to pay the debt).

    How's work going tonight? Hope it's been busy for you.

    Thank You for the links Upsidedown Bear...I really appreciate them and I hope I won't need them either!! Especially as if the Bailiffs get involved then they will add costs onto whatever I owe....which will be horrible!!

    Work going okay...not great but okay....Got a little way to go....Am hoping to be finished by about 8am/9am....

    Have got Placement later on today....Can't say I'm looking forward to it but I'll do it anyway....

    At this point I can't expect to be looking forward to something....I just have to keep on going....keep on moving forwards even if it is just little steps....

    I think Helen if you could get a large chunk of the £500 they may be happy to see you are trying and give you maybe an extra week or so to get the rest. You may have to beg and grovel but its better than the alternative. I don't know how these things work but its worth a try.

    I think you'll find a way to pull it off. I believe in you :)

    Good morning to you ! Have a couple of days off work, so trying to catch up on some long overdue housework, ironing basket first, then blitz the kitchen, I have cream units and the doors get so manky , oh has mucky paws being a farmer ! After that, have to get online and book our summer holiday ! No idea where yet, don't mind as long as there's sunshine and cold beers !
    Funding this with money not being paid to car loan any more ! Woohoo !

    Never mind freezing credit cards, the only way I will stop putting off the ironing is if I go freeze the I-pad ! Lol

    Hope you hit targets last night and are having a well deserved rest now. Keep smiling ! If nothing else, it makes people wonder what you've been up to ! X
    Its just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:

    Thank You hun....It feels good to know that you believe in me....I believe in me too....And I know I CAN do this....and you're right, if I can show that I'm willing to pay a decent amount off the Debt then I hope they will be willing to give me a little more time.

    Hi Hun....Glad to hear that you're going on Holiday...hope you enjoy yourself hun....That's great....And thank you, I will try to keep on smiling.

    In other news - I got in touch with my other Debtors and asked them if I could delay payment (without any penalty) until the beginning of July in order for me to be able to concentrate on the Council Tax Debt...AND THEY ALL SAID YES!!! :T Which means that I can throw the extra money that I would have paid to them to my Council Tax Debt...which is great news....

    I managed to Work last night....and earned a bit....tonight I'll be Working again....and then I have a Weekend on the Course so can't Work too much over the Weekend but WILL be Working a little bit....as much as I can manage...

    I'm at my Placement this Afternoon...which i really really don't feel like doing but I'll do it anyway...and that's a positive thing - A Year ago I might have just called in sick...but not now....Now I will go and just do it...

    So that's all my news....I'll be back a little later....Thank You for all your Support xXx

    Great news about the other debtors ! Will be a relief for you to be able to clear the council tax and draw a line thru a debt. Enjoy the placement ! I'm still ironing !
