                    Hi Everyone,
Myself and shell are still going our seperate ways and we have sorted out all the household bills and as i said in previous posts i am going to pay for all of the bills up until we split up.
Now hear comes the scary bit Just on the utility bills arrears which we were struggling to pay I owe the following.
Powergen £700
Anglian Water £250
Essex And Suffolk Water £450
Council tax arrears £250
My Catalogue £150
= £1800
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
I can afford to throw £300 per month at them as well as saving to get a place of my own.
The only problems are that my car needs some bits doing so it might take a little longer.
Im using immoral Angels system that to pay a bill of in full is more motion. so the first one to go is my catalogue.
Wish me luck!1

            Hi All,
 Hows It Going?
 Im on holiday this week so i have got Lewis for the day and i went in to town and bought some of the spare parts that the car needs!!!
 Went home and looked under the bonnet with the Haynes manuel and my mission was to change the air filter
 I found the right engine by the picture but it started to go on about moving the clips out of the way(i may be thick but there were no clips!!) so i left the mission till dad comes home.
 Why o why are cars so confusing?
 I went to the ford dealer to order a part for the gearbox (all the parts places dont sell it) and whilst i was there i saw a offer for touch up kits for £3.00 so i thought ill get one, I asked the bloke on the counter for one in radient red and he asked me how i knew it was that colour?
 I sai under the bonnet there was a panel that said radient red so i assumed that was the colour.
 He then said to me whats the registration number as the panel is not right!!(WHY IS IT THERE THEN?)
 he typed the reg in to his computer and said it is radient red!
 I gave in at this point.
 Anyway thats how the day is going so far.
 Take care:j WILL GET THERE SOON :j

            LOL @ radiant red!!! Sometimes people in shops think that the general public do not have a scooby doo! Well done you for standing up for yourself and making the garage man look like a div!
 Good luck in clearing the debt...
 :heartpuls CG :heartpulsEver wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.0
