Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Hope you hear back from the creditor soon HHOD.

Sounds like you had a lovely day yesterday if not a bit spendy!! xx

Thank you lucky and mtg. It's 6.00 now and still no phone call DH has decided to ring them every day until they give us an answer. Pester power.

It's very frustrating as all our other creditors were paid over six weeks ago. We've waited almost four weeks for a doctors letter and now over two weeks for the creditor to put the letter and other information on their system. We still have no idea if they have actually done this

It feels very demoralising. Do they even care if they get their money or not?

I forgot to mention that we also spent £20 on petrol yesterday.

Today I got my £5 hair cut done, plus a 50p tip. It looks much nicer and the supervisor did it all while the trainee watched and learned

I feel quite tired and miserable today, but I know that the one often causes the other didn't sleep very well last night. I expect I'll feel better tomorrow if I get a good nights sleep tonight.

I like Jo Nesbo too US. I picked up a hardback of Police today for £1 I think The Snowman is his scariest book so far :eek:

I picked up a hardback copy of Jo Nesbo's "Cockroaches" today along with a paperback copy of Irvine Welsh's "Filth" from Cancer Research 2 for £1

The Snowman is my favourite and his most recent Harry Hole "The Thirst" is really good too.

Nice. I haven't read 'The Thirst' yet, I must keep an eye out for that.

Have you tried any other nordic noir? I like most of the authors I've tried.

Only Stieg Larsson and Jo Nesbo so far...

Love Stieg Larsson Henning Mankell is good too and so are Ragnar Jonasson, Anne Holt and Jussi Adler-Olsen.

Sorry you’re feeling down. Hope you’re a bit brighter now. That pesky creditor has a lot to answer for! I hope your OH really gets on their nerves!:mad:

Re scary books - I don’t scare easily with books but the one that really played on my mind was “American Psycho”. I read it years ago in the 80s when it first came out - it was quite horrible.....

Thumbs down to creditors, agree phone every day be a pest. I love reading but not read anything scary , more of a romance girl.
