    Thanks! I used my actual name for the reference as I thought that was how they double checked. 
    I'll try tonight. 
    If it doesn't work, I might try and get on the NW page through the internet and see if that works. 
    Hope you have a great Monday and thanks again for your help! 

    Danni :-)

    Well.... A few days after I last posted my life really took on a plot twist. 
    Another ex hit me up out the blue. 
    We re-kindled things and I'd like to think we were happy for almost 18 months but alas... After I lent him almost £2k and I needed it back I never saw him or the money again. 

    Heart broken and almost back to square one but I still keep going. 

    I've bashed down my mortgage, I still have my CC - I put the thing he "needed" on there so it was that amount plus about £30 a month in interest. I'd actually cleared my CC the month before he asked to borrow the money. 
    I asked him once if he'd had his LBM and he got grumpy. 
    I asked him once if he had a drug issue as there was no apparent explanation as to why he was so broke. 


    But since he split I've paid off nearly £600 of the total and although I understand having savings whilst having debt is a controversial topic prefer the safety net as it is me, by myself with no other financial support system. 

    I had to re-mortgage as my rate was up at the end of this month, fuming as they wrote to me about 3 days after the first interest rate rise was announced. But nothing I can't afford and the overpayments will still be paid. 

    I am very thankful I have learnt this lesson. Even with talk of marriage and babies the flat remained in my name, and aside from my pride and £2k nothing else has changed. 

    I still am amazing and worthy of proper love and will find someone who can appreciate that. 

    And the girl ex who moved close by popped up on my Bumble the other day. Still makes my heart flutter but that will probably be an update for another 2 years.... 


    Hope those who are still here are well? 
    This has been a ride that's for sure! 

    Danni :-)
