    As LT says you could always use bank of mum.. or what about a savings account that you have to give notice to withdraw?

    mine is either zero percent or loans on fixed rates which i don't think i can over pay. I do have an overdraft which i'm trying to reduce by £20 a month, unfortunately they will only drop it by £50 amounts so i have to be very good and make sure i don't spend the money whilst i'm waiting to get to the £50 mark.

    Glad the new contract should bring you out at least even, i'm sure you'll find the work, you certainly don't like sitting around doing nothing

    hell no! and right now tis like this..

    Sit on Butt in house

    answer occasional phonecall.

    drive to occasional pointless non earning appointment

    earn no money

    :rolleyes:

    I said to the new MD today, give me the work and i will give you the results. without it i may as well not be here... he agreed... oops:p

    Am i right to be throwing money at them to try to get them down or would i be better off saving money and utilising the to make settlement offers?
    I'm not interested in partial settlements just full and finals where the debt is satisfied and that is that.
    any one got any thoughts? :o:confused:

    You would be best off saving as much as you can and going down the F&F route. Give it to your mum as dual-purpose emergency money. Do *not* under any circumstances even hint to the OH as to its existence.

    That will be just another excuse for you to pay everything.

    Hey Pania

    Just wanted to say that I hadn't realised you were staying away from the other thread deliberately. You are a great, kind and wonderful person - and it's great to have you back there too!

    Take care

    Just been bisy with work etc & swam yesterday so was shattered...have decided that I'm nt oing to the London meet though as just cant afford it & while I'd love to go I just know the whole thing would cost a bomb so have(after much umming & ahhing!) decided to give it a miss. Am dissapointed but feel its the right thing to do...plus with teh work year (April -31mch) I will be off alot between now & then so in work terms will need to get my head down for a bit...sure there wil be others though....
