Hi,

I'm new to these forums and would love to join in if possible? I already have a cash ISA with £478.74 sitting in it and I'd like to build this up to £1000. I'm going to prioritise paying off my debts at the moment though, so this goal may take me a while yet!

I'm so sorry to hear your Download break didn't go well for you, Patman, especially after all the time you took planning and preparing for it. I hope you're feeling a lot better now and that your meds are doing the trick. Look after yourself.

Welcome to all the newcomers and good luck with your savings:beer:


I'll have a bit more to add to my EF once I've sorted out my online banking. Have been having horrendous internet connection problems this past week:wall: and I'm very behind with things.

Patman have ex lodger who went to Download was a very wet experience. What a shame after your planning, I only do indoor gigs now. Saw lead singer from Supergrass last weekend.:cool:
Hope you get help with your depression, can't you get some counselling as well as meds?

My EF got raided completely, had work done on the house and my cc have gone in the wrong direction as well yet to update that total:(.

Hey Ho so starting to build up again 40.18/1000 EF now.:o

I did counselling back in 2010/11. I learned a whole load of coping techniques. Trouble is, I used the techniques to try to 'forget' about both my m-in-l's and dad's deaths but it all came to a head.

Still, things can only go upwards from here.
MrsP has bought herself a new laptop so i have the old one to clear-off and sell.
Before I do That, i intend to take it aprt to see if I can fix the only 2 issues it has as it will make it more saleable.
