Awful news about your Dad... try to stay positive. (((hugs)))I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy0 -
Thank you all
He is having a biopsy on Monday, then we should hear how aggressive the cancer is.

One bit of good news this week, I have paid off my Barclaycard.
Balance £0, credit limit £12,000
My Barclaycard is the only credit card I actually use (Lloyds and Virgin are cut up, only got them for the balance transfer deals)
Now that its paid off I will be locking it away in my desk drawer at work and only use in a absolute emergency0 -
Just paid off my Barclaycard today too

Sorry I'm having a moan
So fed up of owing nearly 15 grand!
I've almost made up my mind to just pay off my Lloyds card of £4,000 and close the account.
I have £9,000 in easy access savings, so this would reduce to £5,000. But I do also have £5,800 in an isa
I could pay the savings account most of it back by March as in February husband gets his bonus, £1,500 take home and I get mine in March which is also £1,500 take home.0 -
Woke up on Thursday to find no heating or hot water :mad:
Luckily the people that normally service it were able to fix it that day, it needed a new pump.
Got the invoice last night, £255
Hopefully they can wait until payday this Friday as have £31 to last until then :rotfl:0
