Thank you everybody I really am feeling much better about everything now and I am feeling much happier now.
My brother in law was really helpful about everything last night and made some really good suggestions that I will have to think about carefully before I decide about what to do next. I went with him to the bank this morning because my account is now with the same bank that he and my sister bank with and we saw his financial advisor and my brother in law has somehow managed to persuade him to issue me with a new bank card that has a visa delta card and it has far better account facilities he also wanted me to get a credit card incase of emergencies but I managed to resist the temptation and insisted that I did not want one at all and that the very idea of actually ever having one again still makes me feel very unwell.
I went running with my sister before she went to work this morning and I managed to almost keep up with her which I am very proud of even although I know that she was not trying all that hard anyway but I can now run for over two miles without stopping and I am aiming to make it to three before the end of the week and my times are getting faster as well.

The postman has just been and I have had some really good news because I have managed to get a job interview on thursday and my sister says that it is a really very good school as well so I now have to work very hard on my preparation for it because the education system seems to operate differently up here and I have to at least be able to pretend that I am competent and know exactly what I am talking about.Debt August 2007 - £38,204.58 - Completely Debt Free - May 2008 - Now Proudly Saving.DFW Nerd Number 684 - Proud To Have Dealt With My Debts:heartpuls Very Proud Aunty Ciara :heartpuls0

I have just read your diary from the start and I cannot believe how far you have came in such a short space of time. Firstly well done on getting rid of soooo much debt, congratulations on the prospect of becoming an auntie and congratulations and good luck with the job interview.
Any chance I could have the lend of your sister, maybe she could help my friends to get rid of their debt that is in my signature??0 -
Great news about the interview Ciara. Will keep everything crossed for you. XXNothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task. William James0

I did read that but I thought I could have her for a while!! :rotfl: :rotfl:
Are you kidding :eek:
She does hair, nails, reflexology, gives cars away AND lives far enough away to not keep popping round for coffee every 5 minutes.
She's the perfect relative :TIs it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

Thank you everybody for the good luck wishes for the interview tomorrow which is now only just over 12 hours away now because I am so nervous and I think that I will really need them because I think that there might be some tough competition for this post and I am not very confident about getting it.
But I will definitely try my hardest anyway because I really want this job so much because I would like to live near my family again because I really miss both of them when they are always so far away and if I live with them I will also be able to settle my debt much quicker and be able to move on with my life again.

I will happily share my sister with anybody because she really is far more wonderful and amazing than she sounds and is always really happy and cheery and manages to find something positive in every single situation no matter how bad everything seems to the point where I think that she probably actually secretly works as a superhero in her spare time.
Her husband might prove a bit more tricky to persuade to let her go on loan anywhere else because he is not really the sharing type and will probably want to keep her at home with him so anybody who wants her will probably end up having to take him as well.
