NYK- I have already sorted my debts out and on a dmp of £48 a month been on it around 2 months now. But still have no money and dont spend that much at all. Think i need to do another post on mse about my income n expenditure etc. I even got rid of hosue fone and cable and switched broadband to broadband on the move.

Been to town and supprot worker been and signed me up to all the housing assosications

Does anyone know if they except the Mr M's spend and save vouchers (£5 off £30) at Mr A's. I used last weeks at Mr T's but I could really do with stocking up on Mr A's deals. Thanks.

Whitewing, my sympathies...my dad can't trust me to handle anything either and I'm a lot older than you are...we've had screaming rows about it over the years and he still doesn't see the point and I know just how maddening it can be. It's true what Nyk says, though, that although from your point of view it's your day, it's still the meeting of two families, and rows revolving around weddings and funerals have a way of reverberating down the years, so maybe your best hope is to negotiate some sort of damage limitation?

Mumzy, whether you cut back on fags or not, don't touch the tomato plants if you've been in contact with tobacco. Wash your hands first. This is because tobacco can carry a plant virus called TMV (tobacco mosaic virus) which makes tomatoes infertile. I was told this by a farmer, so I assume it's accurate....though not everything he told me was true, the devil...

PS what are the Mr M's spend and save vouchers? Mr M is my local shop but I've never heard of these. How do you get them - are they the same as the petrol vouchers?

Good evening Frunchkins (love that word:D )
Hi mumzy I have been around but have not had time to make a proper long post and didn't want to say hi and then log off. Had a few days when the site just either kept logging me off or else waiting till I had written a long reply and then wiping it out:mad: It all got a bit frustrating so I stuck to reading everyone elses posts when I got time.

Got a lot of personal stuff going on at the moment which is taking up a lot of my time and energy and have had to put some things on hold whilst I give support to family members.:grouphug: hugs to everyone else who is dealing with family issues/ illness and other stressful stuff at the moment.

Nyk sounds like you had a great trip to Isle of man:D .

Whitewing - hope you come to a solution about the wedding plans:rolleyes:

mumzy- The reason you probably feel you have no cash spare is that if I remember right you were paying a large proportion of your income on private rent. You would be much better off paying council or Housing association rents which would free up more income for you. It is good that you are getting advice from a support worker:D
