ok, i know i am spendaholic, and need to stop. i have over 8k of unsecured debt. most of that was from before Peter fell ill, some of it is due to spiraling costs with him being in hospital. All payments are being met, but now dd2 dla has stopped (we are going for reconsideration), tax credits will go down (not sure how much by) and i could well have screwed up massively. I can clear over 2-3k straight away if i sell my car and my collectin of bears. But Peter says not to, as we wont get their full worth. But i dont know what to do. I am pulling the belt in as much as possible (all i need to buy for the next week or so is veggies, milk and some bread ingrediants.) and will be ebaying anything that stays in one place too long. but I am so annoyed that i got too complacent again. Its so easy to bid on things without thinking and paypal it. i want to shut down my paypal account but i dont know if thats possible. DD2 could well be reinstated within 11weeks(!!!) but i know they could just refuse it totally.

I dont know if i want advice or just a rant.

Anonymous threads that I thought might be from you, Nutty. I'm not out to upset you. I didn't realise you & misdee made up.
Just found out a child-hood friend of mine has died (no, I am not kidding), if that makes you feel any happier. bfn

Sorry about your friend Zebrama but who the hell do you think you are to accuse me of posting threads about money uinder a different name.

What exactly are you trying to say ???

SaintGeorge · 19/04/2006 17:57

cod · 19/04/2006 17:58

zebrama · 19/04/2006 17:58

I thought that perhaps you started threads about money woes under a different name.
Happens a lot on MN, people change their names to post about tricky, sensitive problems. But, if you haven't ever felt the need to do that, good for you.

spacecadet · 19/04/2006 17:59

nutcracker- ignore.

nutcracker · 19/04/2006 18:00

Why would i post money woe threads under my name and a false name ???

This place is doing my head in today.

Blossomhill · 19/04/2006 18:01

Nutty - ignore, ignore, ignore.

Zebra is not worth worrying about. Her main role on MN is to upset as many people as possible. She tried to do it to me once but not again.

lucy5 · 19/04/2006 18:02

Ignore her Nutty, she's stirring!

jmum6 · 19/04/2006 18:04

Cup of tea anyone?

nutcracker · 19/04/2006 18:05

Is that who it is Zebra ???

expatinscotland · 19/04/2006 18:06

f*ck the tea, anyone want a glass of wine? g&t? voddy? beer?

Blossomhill · 19/04/2006 18:06

Yep. She changes her name slightly ever so often, for some strange reason.

Blossomhill · 19/04/2006 18:07
