Jacket pots with fillings, beans on toast, sausage caserole and pasta dishes will get you back on track

Risotto is great too because you can put any old odds and ends in it. Great way to use up left over cold meat and any veg you have can go in. None of those then just add some red kidney beans and some chilli for chilli bean risotto. :T Yay more beans!

I think we need to take some of this nutrition advice and will be stocking up on beans and lentils tonight. We have a sick pet and likely a big vet's bill tomorrow or later this week. Damn the money, all we care about it that he is ok

Further bad news is that the FOS will not take on M&S and say they are ok charging interest because of their "very carefully worded terms and conditions" :mad:

I wonder if anyone else would care to throw any more crap at us this week. Bring it on, we will take it all and come out stronger

Sorry to hear about the poorly pet. As you say it makes you realise your priorities and the things that really do matter and that's not greedy bankers.

Damn M&S, bad people.

You will indeed be stronger but I am sorry you are having to face these challenges. As your geek twin I feel your pain. Big hug from me.

There's going to be a lot of hot air around in DMP lans isn't there. Shall we all point it towards M&S. It's not just any hot air, it is for M&S.

Payplan have responded to my request for settlement figures with a reply of "check your balances online", which makes me think that they dont know !.

Thats fine, I will just keep paying as I have done for the last 81 months !.

I think this is standard for both PP and CCCS, a lesson to us all to keep in toush with the preditors to know the exact state of our balances so no one gets caught out as it were.

Great news you are nearing the end. I can only begin to imagine what it must feel like. Is there a plan for afterwards?

I have 2 main goals and they are :

1) To buy my Liverpool FC season ticket back off my dad ( Lord knows why when they arent doing so well at present !) and
2) Go for a battlefield tour to Normandy, with my dad as he is now 72, and I want to have one good holiday with him before the inevitable happens to him.

Goal 2 is excellent :T

No comment on goal 1 and Liverpool's current performance

Re your information from Payplan do you still get statements from creditors and do they match with the information on Payplan's online service? I am obsessed with updating the online CCCS stuff to make sure it matches with all our statements. I live in fear of thinking the DMP is over, then finding we still owe money

How lovely. I think I may have asked you before on another thread as it sounds familiar but still just as wonderful.

Talking of updating balances..... my M&S ones on noddle are less than on my statements. I can understand if it were the other way around as some dont update each month but.....

Any clues anyone?

And on a more random note..... anyone have experience of a potato ricer? Did look at the magimix attachment but £70!!!!!!!
