    Helloooo LJ!!

    Great to hear from you, you sound happy, and well done on sorting out the debts. :T

    Yes, Natasha is getting pretty big now - she's at that lovely stage where she's old enough to smile, but too young to give me 'attitude' lol!

    Hi LJ - good to see you back - don't be a stranger. :beer:
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    Hello LJ! really good to hear from you and well done on your status!

    Good luck getting that better paid job and no, ambition is not a bad thing (unless you tread on people on the way up - but I doubt very much you would be doing that!). £4k really would be a huge boon!

    Check out my Ramblings babe, for a bit of news - I won't hijack here.

    Really glad you are doing well and happy. You deserve it after some of the poop you went through.

    specially for el, the three posers and a rain cloud story, pretty self explanatory really...

    was visitin my aunt in Mansfield area a few weeks ago, during a break in the flooding we were enjoying a trip to ikea and thought we'd show off in the sunshine by taking the roof down on the car. we were driving through this village and commented that that one cloud in the sky looked awful dark and right in our path. sure enough two seconds later the rain started thundering down! we had to pull into a lay by and try to get the roof up. much hilarity ensued when the roof got stuck half way up (covering me in the back ;) ) and my mum was hiding her hair under the windshield while complaining about the rain running down her pants! we had to dry the car with tissues but we were too busy laughing to manage. good thing my poor aunt has a sense of humour!

    snaggles, that photo of natasha looks so cute! give her a hug from me!!!

    LA, I promise to check out your ramblings at some point soon but don't feel like your hijacking this thread, I did ask for news!

    bg hugs to all of you, I'm off out shortly but I'll be back on soon xxx
