Hi Hairy Hands!

I just read through your diary and so many similarities between us with the way debt has accrued and the challenges of living to a budget. Well done on negotiating those Full and Final payments and I hope so much you get good news tomorrow from your last creditor.

I will subscribe and try to give you some of the care and support you have given me to get through my very dark times. Thank you so much for that - literally life saving and the value of these forums is down to people like you taking the time to support others xx

Aww thank you Mimi

It's good if we can help each other and this forum is great at giving practical and emotional support.

There nothing like a good visit to the tip. Or am I just being weird.

So many people on the diarys decluttering. I wonder who will be the first to finish.

Have a fantastic day.

Not weird at all parsnip, I love going to the tip I 'd be there all the time if I could drive, but DH is less keen. It's so fascinating seeing what other people are dropping off

There do seem to be a lot of people de-cluttering on here. I guess debt is a form of clutter so it's a similar journey.

I don't think I will EVER finish de-cluttering as new clutter seems to mysteriously appear all the time :mad: It's a work in progress

The clutter has departed the house, a wash is in the machine, I've cleaned the bathroom, DH is busy painting and the sun is still shining.

All is right with the world

We spent £7 in Morrison's on the way back from the tip, on 16 pints of milk and DH wanted a pack of four wooden coat hangers and some chocolate.

The milk may last a couple of days if we're lucky :rotfl:

My back feels a bit sore after cleaning the bathroom and loading up the clutter earlier so I'm going to rest it for a bit.

We have a big day tomorrow as DH can ring the final creditor. I have to be prepared for them to say no, but I know I'll be very upset if they do

please-let-me-be-lucky

Best of luck for the call tomorrow Xx

Decluttering is great, i’ve done a lot of that over the past year, and cleaning is sooo much easier.

:rotfl: at the fury moron

Good luck on the call tomorrow I have my fingers crossed.

Hoping tomorrows call goes well.

I find sneaking stuff to the tip quite satisfying but I am fighting a losing battle against the clutter here.

I certainly did It's a constant source of amazement to me how much milk we get through in this house :eek: Mind you I don't buy squash or juice so pints of milk get drunk, and then there are my many cups of tea, especially now I've given up the coke
