  • choclover welcome back! Don't worry about falling off the wagon, sometimes you need to just focus on one thing at a time, and I hope you have managed to sort out whatever is affecting your personal life!

    Hey thanks minicooper it's a lot better than what it was, still not 100% and I don't think it ever will be, but the debt has to take priorty again as it's got out of control.

  • Well i've gone through all our figures and it's not looking good. Baring in mind our total debt was £19520.26 (from sig) it is now £25535.86. And it doesn't stop there, I haven't included three debts - littlewoods as i find it way to hard to track, and two account with a dca as there's not a lot I can do with those and they are at 0% anyway. So things are pretty bad :(

    I think what I'm gonna do is wait for the new thread for 2014, whoever is so gracious to take the reigns, and declare my figure then.

    No sooner had I submitted my post, and I forgot to go back and double check it was you! It's been a long week.... But this sounds like a good plan. Will PM both of you to see what we can sort out.

    Sorry I've been AWOL, I'm busy nesting. The house is the tidiest it has ever been, OH is very happy with me :) seeing how I'm the messy one :p

    The craft supplies are coming into lots of use though. I've made toys, a hat, currently making a baby blanket and a quilt! Oh and I've made artwork for the nursery walls :) Baby is due on the 1st Jan, she's already dropped into my pelvis and fully engaged *read as locked & loaded*

    My concentration span seems to reach as far as the pregnancy thread and doing things for the baby at the moment. Sorry everyone, I am trying to read this thread too :) xx

  • :rotfl::rotfl: oh I just love trolls. Ultimately just trying to somehow make them feel better about them self, which is just a pretty insecure thing to do! Happy we could be here to help :)

    I've had a pretty bad day at work today. And only half a day tomorrow to sort it all. On an annoying note, i've been working about a day of overtime each week at the moment, unpaid, and just found out similar colleagues are getting paid for it! *grumbles*

    That's not good. Can you get the hours backdated?

    I dunno, I did it voluntarily at the time, so I'm not going to make a huge fuss about it. I might just ask if I can get some overtime in January though - it'll be just as busy, and it will make up for some of the time I've been giving away just now.
