    Hi Winkus

    Don't worry too much about missing payments on your loan. It's a normal part of the DMP process. If you didn't do it, the creditor wouldn't accept the DMP figure because they would think you could afford to pay a higher amount. It's probably still computer generated letters, so the fact that you are seeking assistance from CCCS has probably not even been factored into it. Just send it off to CCCS and forget about it - that's what they are there for :T

    I'd love to pop round for a coffee and a bit of kiddiewinkle (or kiddieWINKUS!) company if we were close by - I just said the same thing to Sea. Oh well, guess we'll have to stick to the cybercoffee!

    Take care and hope work goes well.

    Hi. Dont feel guillty about making money.
    Our local sainsburys recently had a sale and there was Kiddies coats that were originally £18 reduced to 50p:D :D

    I managed to get 4 of them and will sell them at a boot fair for £8 each.
    Nice little profit although the money will be spent on the kids for a treat.

    Oooooooh, a big sorry to IDA, I forgot to thank you for the Corrie update!! I was genuinely curious as want to watch it tonight (haven't seen it in months). I never usually get a chance to watch the TV, but it's all I'm doing now on holiday :rotfl: Will you be on later to discuss the ending?

    P.S. I love your use of the blue font for names! :j

    P.P.S. I really need to surgically remove myself from this thread today - it's becoming "smilealot's Easter holiday procrastination thread"sorry everyone! :o

    Hi

    Just to keep you updated it is the verdict tonight on Corrie. They have filmed 2 endings so we dont know if Tracy is found guilty or innocent(Hope she is found guilty)

    Talking of being on holiday I am currently at work and I have 5 days off to look forward to from tomorrow. I work shift work and have even worked the last 2 xmas days(NOT GOOD). Hope I have time to enjoy them and am even looking forward to the post so the battle can begin.:D

    Hi everyone. Have just been catching up on the threads. Smilealot, Yellowmonkey, Sea and Newlywed, thanks for the advice. I was feeling a bit down earlier this morning and I did say what I was thinking, without thinking about it properly first. However, Smile, that was quite a tirade! I'm sorry that I made a suggestion that things were a bit cliquey but I did apologise almost immediately afterwards - I have had tonnes of support on here. And, no, I don't think I need professional help either, I seem to be coping OK at the moment. I seem to recall someone else making a similar suggestion a few days ago, I'm not the first to say it, probably not the last either. But please bear in mind that this is a forum where people should feel like they can be honest - if they feel down they can say it. But I realise you read the other posts I sent afterwards, so lets not dwell and lets move on. I really do appreciate everyone on here.
    I'm moving on up now,
    Out of the darkness,
    My life shines on, my life shines on, my life shines on ;)

    Hi lonely, I think it was me who had the tirade and not Sea!

    I apologise if I spoke out of place, but I am very protective of everyone on here as I think so much of them (and that includes you!). I am always telling people who know about my situation how great this forum is, and how much support we get from each other.

    I completely respect everyones' right to say that they are feeling down, but I don't like any of us being accused of forming secret cliques. Anyway, I'm the worse person for opening my mouth and letting my belly rumble without meaning what I say, so I can hardly talk :rotfl:

    Anyway, I have no more to say on the matter. It's good that we can deal with things and move on.

    Back on to more fun topics.... anyone else thought of more old fashioned sweeties?! What about soor plooms?!?!

    Hi amani :hello: Sorry, as I said earlier, it's easy to forget certain posts when you are replying(however I did read them - but I think it was in my mid-sleep break to answer the door for the postman - then I went back to sleep!!).

    And I wasn't in any way complaining about the lack of responses, I wouldn't mind not getting any at all, I was really just worrying out loud - I'm good at that!!

    P.S. I've edited my response to say I got 4 not 3!
