    no it doesn't unforutnately. How do I know? I uploaded a receipt and it came back as foreign receipt, we do not accept these. I told them it was an english receipt! from a BP garage and they put it through again correctly.

    Thanks.....I guessed as much. :(

    you're not a moaning minnie Carbootcrazy. That's what is so nice about this thread. anyone can talk about what is going on in their lives and we will respond with kindness and sympathy/empathy etc

    sorry it wasn't a good lunch, hope they paid for it all at least.

    such a shame :(

    and shame we didn't know you at the time, would have kicked you into going to a tribunal or something. :)

    ah well karma will bite the wife in the bum

    Thank you:T. I feel guilty about going on a bit sometimes and worry I'm boring you all but I've only ever received kindness, encouragement and support whenever I have :A

    It was all a very long time ago, people didn't seem to make so much of getting redress for things like they do now:(

    Oh yes, they paid for the lot, drinks and all:j. Pity I was driving as I'd have sampled some of the more expensive looking spirits;)

    £14.16 eBay profit for some glitzy picture frames I must have been out of my mind to buy and have never used. (Was probably still in a post-first baby haze and desperate for coffee at the time!!)
    £20.07 Prolific Academic

    New total £127.78 / £155, so nearly there for my 'relaxed' monthly target :)

    Sorry to hear of those having troubles. For those that are a bit WOO WOO like me, tricky mercury is retrograde again and causing havoc. Communications and electronics are a nightmare during this period, but it'll start calming down again after 22nd. Hang in there!! :)

    have put in links too of ways to earn pennies via their website. Takes literally a few minutes a day.

    Thanks for this Aesop. Have just signed up using your link and left mine. Will start investigating the site later

    Hello everyone, sorry I've been quiet had a very rough few weeks.

    Lots going on, applied for some help from ssafa and were told basically we are too skint for them to help us but hey ho it was worth a try.

    Spoke to stepchange last night (2 hours on the phone) and they recommended we do a debt management plan but it will take up 12 years to pay it all off it we do but that is based on what we can pay right now which might get better. The thing that is putting me off is you can't pay extra if you do a bit better one month so I am not sure about it yet. It would reduce our monthly payments by another £140 but as we have gotten the monthly payments down from £600 to £280 already and we are managing I am not sure what to do. At the moment we can pay our bills at the moment but we have no back up if we need anything and money to buy furniture that we desperately need. If we did the Debt management plan we could save and buy the things we need and then up our payments when we are more comfortable. I don't know it's all very complicated.

    Earnings wise I am building up to cash out on a few things but nothing to declare at the moment, and no more eBay sales yet. I did get my extra tax rebate that I was waiting for though so that is £112 to add for this month.

    So my new total is £203.57
    Total Debt [STRIKE]£25,460 [/STRIKE](23/02/2016) :eek: £13,416.94.(paid 48%)

    thank you, that explains the communication issues between DH and me. He does not hear me properly nor I him, so causing rows.

    never feel guilty on this thread for talking about feelings. they are better out than in. you know depression is anger turned inwards? hence why it is good to talk or verbalise your feelings.

    hmm next time you are invited somewhere nice, take some empty bottles and a large handbag ;) then you can sample in the sanctity of your own home.

    terrible, aren't I? lol - corrupt teenager growing up

    hugs. :grouphug:

    I personally don't like dmp or stepchange. I know others have done well with them. But I feel there are ways and means of clearing this yourself.

    sometimes it is good to talk to others in the know and find out all your options.

    bad memory as very tired at the moment, even the owner of the chippy told me I looked tired today.

    did I pm you about the payday loans?
