  • Well done Joek - excellent progress!

    Teecee thanks for the chocolate and hugs I sooo needed that it really did the trick!!

    I'm still feeling grumpy - (but not the other six dwarves - lol!!) and can't quite put my finger on why - just one of those days I guess.

    I really must get on with my assignment, 1000 words to go on "how media affects children's behaviour" - oh the joy!!

    My aged pc still not allowing me to thank individual posts so once again THANKS for all the good news and positive posts - it really keeps a person sane!

    PS: Donna I'm really going to try and follow your example and start a meal planner I'm sure it would make my life much easier (and cheaper) especially when I get back to work!

    Another good way of saving a few quid, buy a large box of washing powder a good brand and the same size in a shops own value brand, in an empty box mix the 2 half and half and its smells and washes the same as the good brand only lasts twice as long for about a £1 extra!
    Its good to know there are people out there in the same boat as me, and any tips help i can pass on i will.
    I still have approx 19k of debt to clear, but together we will get there and never return there again, i dont know about any of you who have been on a dmp for a while now but i find debtbusting is becoming an obssesion with me, if only i had been so moneysaving before the debts built up..but we all live and learn.
    Proud to be DEBT FREE AT LAST

    Hope everyone is ok, theres is so many members now on here, and theres so many new posts everyday.
    What i think i might do is start a new thread because now this one is 33 pages it is a bit long, Don't you think??
    I thought we could all have member numbers aswell, a bit like the nerd club, then there can be a list as the first post and then i can keep up with everybodys name and that,there are more than us than i ever imagined!!!:T
    Soooo if everyone just post and then i will write you a number, then i will post the new thread with the list at the begining, is everyone up for that???
    Or is everyone confused:rotfl: :rotfl:
    I would also like to say to everyone, THANK YOU so much for all the help and support, you will never know how much you have helped me through this time.:T

  • Evening everyone. Hope you're all having a good sunday.

    Spent a couple of hours going through the past 6 years of bank statements for my main account this afternoon. And with the help of the bank charges/interest calculator elsewhere on the site, I worked out that I can claim back £1961 in unfair bank charges!! This is excellent news as the overdraft on the account is £2000, (Although it's gone over that by a couple of hundred due to starting the DMP), and £1961 will almost clear it off. So i've printed out the next letter and a copy of all the charges which i'm going to send off to Natwest tomorrow morning!

    Hopefully if i manage to claim the charges back, i'll be able to do the same on our other accounts.

    Other than that, it's been a pretty lazy sunday. Unfortunately, the whole debt thing has really taken it's toll over the past couple of weeks and so today I've started back on anti-depressants, which are making me feel very ill and anxious. :wall:
    :beer: Proud to be dealing with my debts :beer:

    Well done Nugs, that will be a great boost. Sorry to hear you are back on the ADPs. Maybe it's for the best until things settle down. Sending you lots of hugs :grouphug:
