    I can vouch that it is a beautiful book - a lovely Matrixette sent me a copy.

    Sorry if I offended anyone by saying that a CCJ is shameful - I come from proud stock where a CCJ is frowned upon. His cheque is ready to go and I will post it 2nd class no more 1st class post for him:D If only we had third class post as I would rather send cheques to him that way. I think that from next month he will only be getting postal orders from now on.

    Thanks Ladies.

    Tomorrow I am off to the valuation day - I am taking the Victorian glassware - this is a set of cups with saucers, sandwich plates, dishes, a sugar bowl, a cruet set (salt n pepper), a water jug, a large cake plate and a biscuit barrel. I will be glad to be rid of them as it frees up a crate for moving.

    Horace - stick with the £pm at the moment. And depending on who bully boy works for you might find he gets paid a commission on what he collects - so when you are in position to pay off in full, does he work for a company that has a main office you cold phone & pay the money to? Just a wee thought likes

    MG - one year's car tax because otherwise it's due right in the build up to Christmas, from someone else who has car tax due this month.

  • Evening Matrix. Blimey... what a day!

    At lunchtime I managed to lose my house keys while taking the dog for a walk and a play on the park. *&%$. I looked all over the field and couldn't see them. So I had to walk down to my in-laws, feeling a complete twit, and ask them for the spare set so I could get in the house. Altogether Dotty and I walked about 4 miles!! She came in the door, drank her entire water bowl and then collapsed in a heap! :D

    So, I thought I was going to have to get a new key cut from the spare... but when Hubby took the Dog out before her dinner, he walked in the park and found the keys right away! :D Yay!

    Unfortunately I was at choir practice and came over all sicky, so came home at the interval. It is a shame because I desperately need the practice, but there is no point feeling all poorly and still trying to squeak the high notes, is there?

    Just having a nice cuppa of Earl Grey and Lavender tea and then I am heading for bed. We have just had a visitation of two cats coming downstairs. Dotty is completely uninterested, which is great! :D Now to get them downstairs during the day...! :D

    Sleep tight Matrix dears. I have a busy day tomorrow, but hopefully I will be able to drop in and say hi to you all at some point! Sweet dreams!

    He works for himself although if he charges £250 per graphic design then he can't be too skint can he? Still he will get £pm and when the time comes and I have enough money to pay the debt in full, I will pay it in postal orders and make it even more inconvenient for him:rotfl: (mind you I had thought about paying him in pennies). Let him contact the court - he threatened that before and did nothing about it. He is one of those people that if he shouts long enough and loud enough people will listen and he will get what he wants, however, he cannot have what I haven't got.

    I am aware that I owe for my domain hosting, however, I have been told that I won't be charged whilst I am unemployed as the guy who looks after my websites is very caring and he knows that I will pay once I am able. He is so much nicer than bully boy, I even suggested that he take down the websites but he refused saying that they were there when I needed to blog and he knows what position I am in because he was in the same position himself not so long ago and he was grateful when someone gave him breathing space.

    Oh bother - all this stressing about a nincompoop has made me miss my eye drops..dagnabbit.

    see this lovely gentleman is paying it forward, and we know you do and will too Horace. Now to get nincompoop to understand the meaning of paying it forward!

    I agree ladies - just because one of our associates is having a rough time doesn't mean we should circle like sharks.

    Funny - but now I am debt free those same sharks are circling looking for favours ........................... so guess what's happening?? NADA

    I toyed with the idea of publishing a post I wrote about "Choosing your tribe" - but seeing as it is aimed at them and not my lovely readers I shied off, but basically it is

    "I got crunched - you blanked me - then you made it so much worse - now I am on the up again you want me as a client? As a colleague? passing out favours?"

    Guess what - you are not even on my radar.

    Eventually Mr Shouty will not be on your radar Horace - one shouty man against all these lovely ladies on here - OK, so you choose LOL Which tribe do you prefer???

    Thanks for all your support with yesterday's financial disclosure - will be so much easier now I have done it once. I faffed around because I wondered if it would be insensitive to mention how much I have been paying ................ then I gave myself a shake.

    We are all on a journey, this is just where I am at the moment, so suck it up scaredy cat and share,just like you shared when it was minus 10K.

    And paying it forward is a great idea Horace - he is giving you the opportunity to pick up the threads of something here ............. maybe you should? What is your next dazzling project going to be - the Universe is giving you what you need (if not what you want) at the moment - even conspiring to find you a home you can work from?

    What bright future do you dare to dream?

    MG: You are sending me messages loud and clear:eek:This last few days I have been mulling over my bright future and what I would like to dare to dream. Yesterday, I had reached the point of thinking of planning backwards and what do you write on your blog?
