    the court date is in 2 weeks time so don't have an actual court order yet. will they still not remove the court costs/council costs aesop? but i will go and see them tomorrow as they gave me an allotment that i cant afford to take up either and just had a bill for that too!!

    no, they won't remove the costs, because it cost them to put the paperwork to court and all the extra administration involved!:mad:

    ri need to get my head round ebay. don't know why but i'm resistant. i'd need a pay pal account, a camera to take pics and most of my things are vintage china and i know they'd go well but they can't be packaged and do i want people coming to my door when i don't know them? but i do need the money and it would be good to declutter all the china i never use...

    only back 5 minutes but the nerves are setting in again. feeling scared about the future again

    I hate ebay with a vengenance, even more now that an item that was worth more than £1.50 only sold for that amount, the buyer left me neutral feedback to advise it had not been received! Did not even have the courtesy to email me and tell me it had not been received.

    anyhow....

    I use my mobile phone for photos, as even though I have a camera, have no memory card for it, so the quality is not great but use my phone anyway. maybe that is where I am going wrong...

    if you have china items, can they be couriered? couriers are cheaper, will collect from your home and as long as they are told what is in the boxes, etc. and warned they are fragile, well wrapped, you should be ok.

    please don't feel overwhelmed. believe me there are a lot of people in the same boat as you and know exactly what you are feeling.

    I keep thinking things have to get better in January! they have too!the govt needs to wake up and stop living in their thousands of pounds lifestyle.

    Hello,
    Welcome back!
    Remember ages ago, you said you'd done a course and got 80% funding? There is a course I really want to do that would help me get work but it's about 5 grand (very specialised!)
    Anyone know of any funding I could apply for? I have checked the places I know. I seem to remember the Jobcentre saying they could pay for training but I can't imagine that they're meaning training that costs a grand a day! It would make me more employable though in my industry!
