Its that age old problem, they say they haven't been paid. Until they are paid, they cant pay us and we are at the bottom of the food chain so to speak !!
Trouble is with £150 a week minimum needed just for Mr PG to go to work , the funds we had to fall back on are dwindling before my very eyes ! :eek:LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

I am off to the Post Office in a minute.
I have raided my Sealdish Pot and I will buy some more medicine for DD1 and also two lines on the lottery tonight.
I think I am feeling lucky.:p
I have promised DD1 that I will hire Ed Sh33ran to perform a private gig for her and her friends should I win, DD2 will of course get her longed for pony and added to my list is a Spa Break for our very own poorly Granny. I will get a new car as would Mr PG and I will pay off the mortgage and of course our debts and those of as many of you as the funds would allow.
I am hoping that the Good Fortune Fairy is looking down on me tonight xLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Hmm I think that someone could have been right ! I dont want to make contact with Freds really as I dont see the need when THEY know it has been paid. The later was dated after it was paid in full and the cheque had cleared which is all the more irritating.

It's strange that once we've woken up to our debt situations, that every waking hour seems to be dominated by it. The debt erodes our sleeping and causes tension and unhappiness. I wish I could get all of us away from it.
I hope the pressure eases up for you soon and people start paying up. I don't know how you keep any semblance of sanity in these circumstances. Hat's off to you that you still keep a happy and loving home together.
I'll runaway to Perth with you. Perth is where my daughter is, she'll put us up.Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30

You can come , the more the merrier ! We could set up our own Debt Free Community in Sunny Perth and you will be happy as you will see your daughter all of the time and I will be happy as I would have escaped the rat race !
The money seems to be all I can think about at the moment , I am very grumpy and grouchy but trying hard not to be .
A lovely friend who knows nothing of our situation has just knocked on the door with a beautiful bunch flowers for me . She gave them to DD1 to give to me with the message that she was bringing them as I was sad. Other than making me cry it made me realise that perhaps I wasnt fooling anyone with the Manic Smile plastered on my face when I bumped into her yesterday !

Hi Mrs PG..good to catch up. Perth in Aus or Scotland sounds fab so count me in!!!
It seems like you are being dealt a pretty tough hand and that contract sounds a nightmare. But its work I guess and as you say could lead to some good stuff. Its fab you ( and its both of you as you are a team ) are respected like this. But you will be OK. Am sure of it. Just make sure you keep on talking when you can..saying that OH is downstairs working and I am in bed reading diaries after a full on day..so take my advice rather than do as I do!!:rotfl:
OH made 14 jars of marmalade at weekend...if all else fails can I send an orange food parcel!!:rotfl:MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal
