Linzight, my condolences

hope you're ok xx

Jakes-mum, I see nothing wrong with charging family to eat the choc bars, would the people on that thread rather her kids went to the local shop and paid 3x as much? pfft some people! Send that lady over to us on SP we won't judge her there

CC statement out today, so a slight change in my total due to the interest. Also, sorted out my spreadsheet so quite a big change in my total due to an error, it's set me back a bit but it's all sorted out now phew!

#304 £1205.02/£5210.12 (23.13%)

Can someone give my solicitor a kick and tell him I want to know we've exchanged so I can book a hire van for moving day. I fear if I ring him today I'll get accused of harassment :P

Might text the seller, see if she's heard anything.

fallen you can normally book a van about two days beforehand. I know you're super excited but leave it a day or two then call again

I'm declaring another £250 off my overdraft which might be a bit brave as my Gran died last week and I haven't been to work very much this month as a result. Still, I will get back on it with eBay etc and see if I can make up the difference for my April salary. So my new total is:

#205 £963/£3913= 24.61%

Oh no, I'm so sorry hun, sending you a massive hug :A xxx

Forgive me Christmas 2012's I have been AWOL

business really took off after Christmas and Ive been SOOOO busy. HOwever I am being dismal at tackling this debt

I have however totally got rid of Vanquish- paid off, shut down. Same for Simply Be, and Very. Small interest free balance on Littlewoods (£30 ish) and the BLOODY Crapital One still to pay

. I am determined to get rid of it and seem to have slipped back into spending for the sake of it again so I thought Id return to the fold and get inspired to get rid again

I did some ebaying last week and made £70 and also got rid of LOADS of books on zapper and made £30 there (still waiting for the cheque though.........) My food shopping seems to have gone out of control again- went to ALdi this morning and spent £60 and I have 3 different meats in the fridge that need cooking TODAY so will be doing a spot of batch cooking after Ive popped in here. I also need silly things that I keep forgetting to pick up in the s-market so I am going to start an online order for next Mon/Tues and add to it as I remember/run out. I need to take desperate measures to keep myself out of the supermarkets lol
Oh Im also trying to give up smoking but I havent told anyone so Shhhh. SO far its made me eat crisps instead of smoking HA HA

Well done on vanquishing vanquish idris and on closing down the catalogs, you've just reminded me that I should really do that too. Done!

I've been thinking it's quite quiet around here recently, I wonder what has happened to everyone. I hope you'll all ok, maybe it's the sunshine keeping everyone away from their computers

Thanks Kerri, my problem is I hate not knowing what's going on, I like to be in control of a lot of things, thankfully my lovely OH knows this and hasn't said a thing about me organising everything to do with the house so far, I do keep asking his opinions but I get impatient and do it anyway :P
