Time to be completely honest

Karmacat

Oh my god, Sea, what a terrible time you've been going through! I'm so sorry you've been having to deal with all of this. With !!!!face. And glad OH has stood up and been counted on your side. The shock and hurt and anger about all of this has to come out some time, no matter how well you've coped, so I'm not surprised you're feeling paranoid, as you put it. But good that you're a bit better now. I've been away for over a week, just catching up with things, so I've been out of the loop. Hope this weekend goes better for you, hun.

Did you manage to go to the crop? Great that you got the CJ! My entry was of of my normal comfort zone & not my normal style but I wanted to have a go at somethng different...wasnt 100% about it when I finished! What do you think? Be honest!!
Sorry that you feel let down again. I dont think you are being unreasnable BTW - I would be hacked off too! Well done for not getting too wound up about it...Good that you maaged to get through the painc & are feeling better. So do we get piccies of blinds? My bathroom still has none despite living here neary a decade - window looks onto a wall!

Blinds are up and looking fab! Sitting room finally feels like a homely kind of place! Just need to screw in the skirting boards, and paint again, then it'll be done!

The crop is tomorrow - early start - 10am (but of course will be 9am 'our' time). Looking forward to it though.

CJ - I loved it! I think it's great and honestly, I would say if I didn't! I've almost finished my one to send on but have completely cocked up the signing in card so will have to address that somehow. Looks like something Sophia has had a go at! Needs saving me thinks...Looking forward to adding to the inspirational quotes one - the style is very different from all the other (as they all have been actually) and so I might try something with chipboard style letters...we shall see as I'm a bit scared to use them! Might even do some inked edges too! Put glitter chalk on the one I'm doing now (PaP's one) and that was something I've not done in a while so really trying out different things (for me anyway lol!). Hope to get lots of inspiration tomorrow too.

Hey!! Guess what??? Doing a little dance at the moment My debt (as far as I can make out!) stands at:

£29,128.29!!!!!!!!!!

So obviously feeling quite pleased about that. I'm not sure about one of the figures, but it's still under £30K which is wonderful and definitely the lowest it's been in over five years!!!!:j:j:j:j:j:j

Hi Sea

Good to see you bouncing again!! And congratulations on getting below £30k :j

ISOM...sent you email yesterday but my sis hasn't received hers so wasn't sure if you got yours?? What's the size of your bathroom window and do you have any preference for kind of blind?? Guildford freecycle might have something suitable... if you want I can try?

Sitting here getting Will Wonka fix on TV...but as have no choc in house (apart from Easter Egg for my mum to be given to her next week...........

Oooops!!!!
:EasterBun

...have now opened a nice bottle of vino :eek:


Big hugs to all

whhhhooooooo:j :j :j Sea is sub 30!! Fab news & hard earned! Well done!

Evening girlies! (mum says whats the debt from sea - ie how much was the starting ammt if you dont mind sharing!). Lovely re the blinds, great re the crop & pleased you like the cj...I'm sayin nowt on the wine to either of you! (a) cos I'm a tad jealous & (b) cos you know you'll regret it!! (c) cos I'd be lying if I said oo thats great wouldnt I eh!!

yes Wol did getthe email but havent had time to abrosb & reply properly! Currently watching my ring not sell...its got 5 mins, 5 watchers & not a single flipping bid! Either it will be no bidders again or they'll all do it last minute! Lets hope for the latter!!

Sea78

ooh I hope it's a last minute bidding war! Have you had it valued by adealer? Might be worth putting in normal auction?
I think it was (at highest) approx. £39k - about 14 months ago. Not good at all. But feeling chuffed that we've managed to clear quite a bit despite the DMP and reduced payments for quite a while
Only having limited amount of wine - need to be up early in the morning!
