  • Kayleigh, I don't live next to them yet but when I move back to my Mum's next month I'll be surrounded by houses full of them! Luckily, most tend to keep them selves to them selves ('cept for a while back when I had to sort out some little sh*ts who were throwing empty bottles and cigarette butts into our garden...

    Puzz, you're not feeling well chuck? Have you been getting your five a day? I think you know where I'm going with this... ;)

  • I AM RICH!

    Just received £76.63 for CPP reclaim!
    Well ok so not exactly rich.......but I have been on a Dmp for some while now so I FEEL rich. I suppose being a good DMPer I ought to assign this to debt repayment....but so many other options beckon. Decided been a tough few months might buy some luxuries, new shoes, boiler service, tin of cadburys roses?!? Choices!
    Surely I must have had PPI sometime in my life? (don't think so) off now just to check.

    Re students, I live within 1 mile of 2 universities, and major teaching hospital. Term time it's like party central we all live for the holidays.

  • Hi SVC,

    KERRRRRCHING!!!

    I actually worked for CPP back in the day (several times actually) it was a fun place to work in the beginning where sales advisors could win great things for selling the most in a shift, in an hour, different types of policy, etc :) I won a £100 Argos voucher, a bunch of roses and loads of boxes of chocolates... Ahhh, happy days ;) shame the actual job itself sucked LOL later I went back just to get paid for going through the training course and then quit at the end of it with a few £00's in my pocket for the "effort".

    As for what you should do with your windfall... Tough call, as a new car isn't on the cards I reckon a few treats and a chunk dropped in the old emergency fund is on order?

    Have fun regardless!

  • Hi MB
    Yes, I had just about settled for the roses (on offer £4) then the rest in the credit union.
    Any of those jobs still vacant.......I'm not proud!
    Thanks

  • City1 - thanks for the good luck wishes - I wish you all the best too :)

    I love having my new current account and being permanently in credit :) I have even managed to have a little left over this month (pay day tomorrow :D) I'm putting it into my Christmas funds and am looking forward to actually buying Christmas pressies out of 'real' money and not putting it all on a credit card.

    I never EVER want credit again - cannot wait to pay off the debt. Feel like we have achieved so much already and the DMP hsn't officially started yet!!

    Hope you're feeling better soon Puzz x

    Anyone got any bananas??.................

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hi it's pay day and creditors all paid straight from by bank account on my new self managed plan. Hopefully I put all the right digits in when setting up the standing orders online and the cash has gone to the right place! I will be checking...

    Morning fellow dmp'ers...


    A special good morning to MB and his waving banana.... you feeling a bit fruity at the moment mb.. satsuma throwing and banana waving.. the mind boggles...!!!


    Quick update on my 11th payment gone to the creditors and I've hit the 9.5% paid off.. so close to double figures.. and next month I will be in the double figures and will drop into the 53's....


    I can't believe it will be a year next month since I started my dmp... Can't wait to do my year end total as to how much debt I have shifted this year... (family loan not in dmp, but going down..)


    Have a good day all, I'm off for a lie down as feeling a little poorly puzz today..
