We've bought more takeaways in the past 5 months although it's had sod all to do with the credit crunch. But I don't think you print those menus

Unfortunatly, this can happen to anyone at anytime, regardless of the economy. I've been made redundant 4 times in the past and I'm staring redundancy in the face for the last two years. If I do, I won't ever get another job doing what I do and/or with the money it pays and with teresa not earning that much, it is quite frightening. This is why I'm setting up the PC repair stuff, as it's something to fall back on. However, I'm not going to worry about it until something actually happens.

My point was that we all have to start re-thinking the way we prioritise our money and that luxuries sometimes have to come last over things that are more important.

That said said Kate, I do feel for all younger people with massive mortgages.. and I'm worried for my kids when they come to want a house of their own.

I hope all work out but I know it will because you're not that sort of person that would just sit and let it happen.

I'll go back to the chinese we used to use then

I wish you printed the menu of our pizza place, I'm concerned about the 'Southern Fried Chichen' they offer. This isn't just one error, every single time they use the word Chicken, it's Chichen. Unless they have discovered a new kind of meat.

Our local takeaway used to do a "Seafood Pizza" with ham and pineapple on it

Stayed like that for about a year before it was changed, lol

You should have checked if Desmo printed the menu

I just spent half an hour on the phone to the Credit Consumer council and I have an hours phone call appointment with one of their experts on the 18th of this month.
They are sending me paperwork to fill out about exactly what im spending where, and using this during my hour call with them, they are going to advise me as to what to do to get me out of the hole im in.
Lets hope something comes of this.

Hope it helps Knip. Phil had to help me with my problems when the bank rang to inform me I was £1500 overdrawn 2 days after payday and with turnover from eBay sales that month

Fortunately he not only offered good advice but financial help too

Year and a half later and I'm just being able to stay out of the overdraft all month.

If I can help in any way with advice just yell.
