    I need you to push me into selling my Irregular Choice Miaow boots - I love them but I havent worn them in a year and they are just sitting gathering dust, but I dont want to part with them :o

    Unfortunately all that has succeeded in doing is making me look at them online and want to buy some for myself! lol ... But I know I'd do the same - buy them and then hardly wear them which is a shame. And a waste of money :(

    When you win the Euro Lotto you can buy a boatload of brand new Irregular Choice shoes anyway ;)

    p.s. Psychopathbabble, have you been to the doctors yet to find out what is wrong? xxx


    I'm ignoring it until I go back to the doctor on Tuesday and hopefully remember my mental note to mention it! Can't afford to pay a dentist too!

    Psychopathbabble, have you eaten pine nuts recently? Cheap ones can cause metal taste. Google it :)

    I paid off some of my credit card today but given i used it, went over my limit & forgot to pay it on time, its still pretty much the same balance :(. More payments monday but i'll still only be at 2%

    I posted on here about late payments on credit file and put it into the mortgage section but no-one has really answered ( not as friendly as here ! )

    i thought if you had late payments they dropped off after 6 years but ive got some showing from 2005 and equifax says 6 years from account closing, but what if you dont close the account after a late payment it surely cant stay on your file forever ?
    #28 pay all your debts by Xmas 2019 £2682/7000:)
    #66 2019 MFW £90/£7500

    I had 2 late payments in 2007 and also saw that it says on Equifax that it stays on for 6 years after account closing but I'm afraid I never really checked on why. I only just closed the account in Jul 11 so if they do stay on from account closure then I will have a problem if they affect a mortgage app in a couple of years too. WishI could help on this but am in the dark as much as you xxx

    Evening!

    I can finally update:

    #012 £1148.02/£6583 32%

    8lbs/70lbs

    Can't believe I've only made a £45 dent in my CC after paying £100. Hoping to paysome more soon though :T

    Rosie - can't really advise you I'm afraid but I'm sure someone on here will be able to help you out. Have you tried doing a MSE site/forum search? I'm sure it must have been discussed somewhere on here xxx
