Yes went to cinema with my daughter last Sunday night. Got a friend who's staying in St.Ives for the Christmas week on his own who's invited me to join him for as many days as I like also my parents have asked me to to theirs, got friends in the North East who have invited me to theirs, I've got options.

I suspect that your parents would like/love to see you but I recommend St Ives as well.

Have you been able to sort out the credit records?

No haven't sorted credit records yet, no replies and couldn't find a way of contacting who you said?

Pleased to hear your going to works do tonight. Hope you have an enjoyable evening.

You have friends and family who really care about you so please take up their offer and it might help you gain more strength for the months that lie ahead.

Sorry to hear about your financial woes with bills. It is unbelievable how much it costs in solicitors fees. Can't offer any advice on that front.

Hello Jack, my usual end-of-week wishing you well.

On SayNoTo0870 are these Experian alternatives[Nottingham area codes, just checked to make sure they're not masquing no.s for other high-cost calls]:
Experian 0844 481 8000 0115 935 6600
Credit report services (menu)

Straight to agent: 0115 934 4050
Switchboard: 0115 941 0888

aka ~ Credit Expert
Experian 0870 013 1677 0844 481 8888 0115 901 6000
Customer services - check your credit reference

Try the geographic no.s I've highlighted as well as re-sending your em's.

Are the meds helping? Just let us know as and when you feel you can.

Not sure what em's are?

Just heard via my ex that my son has past his driving test first time so that's something positive.

latest solicitor bill for November was £2,400. Got no way of paying it as cards are all maxed out and due to credit ref can't get any more. I know I need to speak to them to see if we can defer payment?

Good news about your son passing his test. That will save you some money on lessons, but will not help your immediate financial situation.

Hope you will be able to defer payment to solicitor.

Have you managed to sort out your Christmas arrangements?

Hope you are sleeping better too.

ems=emails, although 'em' and 'en', being printers' measures, are useful in Scrabble, too:)

Jack, you must speak to one of the money help bodies. You know my preferred one, as endorsed and praised by Martin, is CAP. Just a first call... please.

01274 760720.

I will look back later to see how you are in yourself, perhaps hear where you're inclined to be for crimbo. Well done to son[hoping he'll have the grace to thank you himself for making it possible]=no more lessons to be paid by you, or further financial input of a motoring kind:eek:

Big caring hugs from this ancient crone, Jack.

JackRS = thought on electoral roll

The ANNUAL national update is in February; which the Council will do on the basis of the annual mail-out (sent to your address). So you have filled in a form for 14/15

However they do update the electoral roll during the year but you have to fill in a different form (for 13/14).

It may still be worth getting a 13/14 form and filling that in NOW.
