Immoral Angel's Debt Diary - Part 16,342...

Dithering_Dad

Hey Snags, I've just noticed our medals! When did they arrive???

Snaggles

Hi DD! :wave: Long time no...um.....type.

I think they've just arrived this evening. I'm sure I didn't have anything that looked like a carrot and a turnip earlier.

Your sig's looking good - are you on track for being mortgage free in three?

immoral_angeluk

Aye up DD where have you been hiding?

Dithering_Dad

Hi IA! I've been a-ducking and a-diving and a-hiding (troll issue, but about to be resolved hopefully by the mighty Abuse team).

Snags - My challenge is going OK but I won't be able to pay the whole mortgage off in the next 2 years - Mrs Dither had to give up her job to take care of our little one (she has a chromosomal disorder) and so we've only got one wage coming in now.

I'm really glad I started paying off the mortgage though, it made it an stress free decision for Mrs D to give up work.

How are you guys getting on? (by the way, as I don't have as many medals as you two, do I have to salute you and go "Ma'am, yes Ma'am" every time I post a message?)

oo-er 20 what, exactly.. Ma'am!

(troll thing on-going but hopefully a ban or at least a severe telling off from Abuse may be on the cards)

Snaggles

Ma'am will do nicely thanks......you could curtsey too if you really want to get on our good side.

I'm so glad you were in a position to make a decision like that for the good of your daughter. I've just done a similar thing for Ryan (have cut my hours right down so I wont have the problem of finding childcare for him, as he was recently diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome), and I think it will make a lot of difference to family life. I hope you find the same.

You should have called us lot when you had the troll issue, we're experts at dealing with them... :rotfl:

Dithering_Dad

We were initially told that our Lu had Dyspraxia, but the new doc reckons it's a Chromo issue - she had a piece of skin removed for genetic testing (you can imagine how chuffed she was about that!) but the doc is 90% sure.

I did my usual thing when faced with trolls - started crying and running all over MSE trying to escape!

Ma'am.

Snaggles

I don't really know anything about chromosomal disorders, sorry but I really hope they get to the bottom of it quickly, and the tests aren't too upsetting for her/you. And I hope you get the outcome you are hoping for from the tests too. It's horrible when you are waiting and waiting for a diagnosis.

I'm not sure if we'll be any the wiser when she is diagnosed, but it'll make it easier for us to get support for her at school. She's coming on a treat though cos of Mrs D's efforts. I just wish i could have a peek into the future to see just how she gets on when she's an adult. I'll end up worrying about her for years and she'll probably win a nobel prize or something

Kids eh.
