    I have a contract with Orange which is £35 a month. I have currently been cut off because I owe £88. (People can still get in touch with me, I just can't call or send texts) I am continueing to pay the £35 a month which I can afford as it is in my budget that CCCS have allowed meon my DMP. I am hoping to be able to pay a little off the orange debt over the following months but it will be a little. About £5-£10 a month. I'm a bit scared to call Orange and tell them that as I feel like a prat. £5 a month is a pathetic amount and they aren't going to be happy with that....are they??

    Ok, since my last post I have called Orange explaining the situation. The advisor said that my payments are Ok as they are not charging my line rental at the moment. I didn't expect them to reconnect me, I just wanted them to be aware of the situation, however the next day they disconnected me completely (now people can't get in touch with me) Gutted! Almost wish I hadn't bothered calling them. He also said that he has put a note on my account but I might still receive phone calls. Grrr..Can't wait to get them paid off and hopefully they'll be able to put me back on a lower tarriff.

    Hi, congratualtions!! What lovely news.

    I assume you mean the engagement and not the Orange issue. Thanks. I had to give my ring back to the jewellers on Saturday for resizing and they said it would be 2-3 weeks. Gutted! It's not all about the ring I know but I loved having it on my finger.

    Well what a farce. GE Money continually threaten me with legal action whilst saying they haven't had any communication from me (which is plainly a lie) but yesterday they sent me a letter accepting my DMP. Confused. I don't think the left hand knows what the right hand is doing. Only time will tell I suppose but at least they've accepted for the time being. The letter said for a priod of 3-6 months which is slightly unrealsitic. It's going to take a lot longer than that to sort out the mess I'm in. But it's a start. :D

    Recieved a free ticket to any film at Cineworld yesterday? Don't know how I ended up with that.

    Woop Woop!
