Dragon's debt diary
Comments

Having talked stuff through with Dr Dragon we have come to the concerted opinion that HR and the company Dr Dragon works for are quite prepared to kill him! :eek:, hopefully the docs will sign him off again (even better if he could get another job and just leave!), we have worked out that Dr Dragon can take about a £3k or £4k pay drop if I use my incapacity benefit and DLA to pay some of the bills (basically really curb my going out etc), I need to think about knocking my CC on the head (where are those scissors when you need them!) and possibly reducing my pension payments (although at the moment it will only pay £600 pa in any case!).
Not sure what else I can do to save money - earn money:rolleyes:, time for another :coffee: whilst I think about it!Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup

Could you not make & sell something from home? I know you can't do heavy housework, but what about ironing etc for a little cash?

Um can't knit to save me life! If it is straight seam or cross stitch I stand a chance (useless me! :rolleyes:), at the moment though the pain is so bad all I can do is concentrate on playing solitaire and doing jigsaws

oo just posted a long post and it gets lost......
summary, hope you are feeling better today, hope the same for Ddragon as well.xBlackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:0 -

Hi folks
Things are not brilliant in the Dragon household - Dr Dragon has realised that his place of work doesn't give a stuff, so he is looking round for something different. I just keep bursting into tears for no reason that I can see.
The only plus side has been a STS on the weight!Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup
