So sorry to hear you are up against it. Glad you got an appointment. Try not to be so hard on yourself or trying to be superwoman. Your body is begging you to slow down :0.
Here if you need us.
Well done on getting debt down even further. when you think about it you were close to 100k not that long ago and you are now on the verge of smashing through into the 70s. Amazing.
Celebrate the positives and put your feet up or I am sending the squirrel back in.

I will do that update of the mad week , I promise.
Thanks Skint for posting, Im sure you are right, spoke to Mr Pinot just after calling the docs and had a snivel down the phone to him as well ! He said the same ,he doesnt care what I look like but jsut wants to get back home now to help out xx
Dont worry about the crying, im sure they have it all the time. I have been known to cry at the receptionists loads. So much so i dont even get embarrassed anymore
Hope you manage to get some time to relax even if for a little while

Hi Pinot,
Generally I just cry for effect, whether that be Doctors Receptionists or anyone really:o. I'm pretty indescriminate (never thought I'd use that word in an MSE thread :eek:),
Don't be embarrassed, you are under so much pressure but still carry on regardless and have just about smashed over 20% of your debt:j:j:j:j. You are an absolute trooper, and personally, I'm surprised we haven't all had a meltdown by now!

Me too, so many times they don't look at all fazed by it but gets me in to see the docs when otherwise the scary receptionist may just have sent me away saying there's no appointments. Don't go to the docs often but when I do I like to do it in stylePinotGrigio41 wrote: »Thankyou. I feel a bit better this evening I think.

Hey, it's only a number. Well that's what the boys say..... and get away with it!!!!
Seriously though- all relative to income. Some people have 15k and will take them 10 year to pay off. You worry about 100, I had 60k on my own. It's all relative, regardless, we all have challenges and together we will get there

Meltdown over, it didnt last for long !!! It wasnt allowed, kicked myself into touch and I had decided this morning that it was best that you all brace yourself for my update of my mad week of which I am sure you dont really need to know all about, but for the hell of it I had decided tell you anyway !
Luckily for you, since writing the paragraph above and doing the school run, I have decided that you would die of momentous boredom so I will only tell you the best and maybe some worst bits in order that you dont unsubscribe in droves !! So here goes, the best / and some worst bits of the last week !!LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

So.....the Wedding is tomorrow :j:j My Gorgeous Niece will look absolutley beautiful and my girls will be pretty bridesmaids. I Cant wait.
Last Saturday my outfit was nearly sorted, so determined was I that I didnt want one of her much younger friends to rock up next to me in the same dress looking far lovelier and younger, I have a beautfiul Vivinne Westwood Dress from Ebay. I love it ! Its cream and black, the black is a print of what looks like Curtain tassels, so slightly whacky and a bit different ! I needed shoes, bag and something to wear on my head. I didnt want to weat a hat, I have a particularly small head and feel like a bit of a lemon in a hat, they tend to fall over my eyes so not a good look. Deciding on a Fascinator I set about googling, they were all very feathery and fussy, again I dont like fuss really, and as I had the curtain tassel print on the dress I decided the feathers looked odd so Googled Tassly Fascinators !! This is where the Nipple Tassels came into it !! To my surprise up popped numerous Burlesque Websites with examples of every type of shape and size of Nipple Tassel you could imagine ! Love Hearts, Lips, you name it there they were all with black dangly tassels hanging off of them !! Once I had picked myself up off the floor with laughter I called Mr Pinot and suggested ordering a few and putting together a home made fascinator for the Wedding !! Not quite sure how that idea would have gone down though, but I found it funny !! :rotfl:Anyway I ventured out with the girls on Saturday and have a very simple black, netted pillbox type hat without a tassel in sight, although the naughty side of Mrs Pinot is still very tempted to opt for a homemade creation !I did also find one with a pair of googly eyes stuck on the hat which I was very tempted to buy but my poor girls were having none of it !! So hat sorted, off I set in search of shoes !!
If I was clever enough I would post a picture, but they are gorgeous, so ridiculously high for someone with a dodgy back and a limp but they were calling my name. They are just like Dorothy's from the Wizard of Oz, but completely covered in black sequins with a tiny matching box bag. Totally impractical as I can fit nothing but a packet of tissues and if Im lucky a lipstick in it, but I had to have it as it matched !! So one happy lady later, I decided it was time to treat the girls to a few new bits. We had a lovely day , but thats it now no more spending, the remainder of the £3000 is staying firmly in the bank !LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:
