    I have been worrying about this all day. It implies that you know my sister which is not really surprising as she knows an awful lot of people in different places. Does this mean that you know me as well? Am getting more worried as my debts are still secret and only my sister and people on here actually know about them.

    Sorry hun. :o

    Didn't mean to put the willies up you so to speak! :p :rotfl: ;)

    I don't know you or your sister in person. But I do know her on here. :)

    She came on asking for advice for her sister (ie you) and PM'ed me coz we have/had a similar level of debt at the same age.

    When you posted on my thread something clicked in my head. And she confirmed it was you! Although she did post on here but deleted it. For some reason she feels like she has let you down! :confused:

    Thank you I am so relieved to hear that!

    Sounds just like my sister being good is never good enough for her she is always aiming to be superhuman at everything she does.

    She is a few years older and has always sort of adopted the role of parent/guardian for me as our own were never really that good at it. She always feels like she is letting me down and should be doing more for me although I can never quite see how she could do any more than she does already. :o

    Don't be late for work! :eek:

    I've told her that! She still sees you as her kid sister I think! ;)

    She didn't want to admit to you that she knows you are on here for some daft reason but I've blown her cover! :rotfl:

    Give her a bell when you can and tell her you know she knows if you know what I mean! :p

    It is only a two minute walk to get there so will be leaving soon. I already told her this morning :o that I have posted here and made her promise NOT to read it!

    But if she does read it, she'll see how bloomin well you're doing, and also what great advice you're getting ;)

    You'd better edit the post where you swapped her for someone else's sister and mum though :rotfl:

    The first shift went fine and I am back again tonight. :)

    I have had a very busy morning and actually completed four things from my to do list. I called CCCS up and talked with them for a long time and they are sending me paperwork out. I called the council and they confirmed that I am not getting single persons rebate so have to take a copy of my tenancy agreement and some utility bilss to their office and sign a form and then I will get a 25% reduction. I collected together everything that I can live without and listed them on e-bay. I have also transfered fuel suppliers through u switch so will hopefully make the predicted savings there.

    The only thing I have not done yet is speak to my sister about selling the car as I am not sure that I am actually brave enough to do that. :o

    Glad to hear the shift went well - was wondering how you'd got on.

    Havent you been busy? Dont forget to have a look at Quidco for changing gas and leccy.

    What did CCCS say - I assume you can o a DMP?

    The shift itself was not that good but I just had to put on a smile and get on with it as I am not really in a position to turn down extra income.

    CCCS were really nice and said that I could do a DMP and they did not seem to mind that I have called them a few times before.

    What is Quidco? :confused:

    http://www.quidco.com

    Its a cashback site - people on here have earned hundreds through them - I got £120 cashback for just my car insurance.

    Have a look at the site, and look out on here for Quidco tips ;)
