ok my story, 8 or 10 weeks ago i got a free sofa from friends. the only way to get it home, was on the t2 roof

doing this i snapped the aerial off my truck

Nothing to do with the T2.

This year I've got involved with fundraising for Help For Heroes. We have set ourselves a target to raise £100,000 in a year.

So between that and Air Cadets I've got no spare time and the year is flying by (no pun intended).

WE have just stuffed the local planning department cos we converted our stables just over 4 years ago to full living accommodation, all the council was interested in was getting us off the land with our mobile home/caravan, they stuffed themselves well short, we win, they loose, but they do not know it yet, I love this bit, Rick

Default Major rethink on life direction...

.... had operation for bowel cancer - you start to evaluate stuff - value what's real and discard the trivial. I'm through it now - and plan to do something (not sure what yet) to raise awareness of bowel cancer and the need for everyone to get themselves screened. Early detection = 90% chance of a decent life expectancy - late detection = early death.

Get yourselves checked out you guys around 60 years old. Do it now. Please.

Ricoh and Sedgers posts beat 'em all. Well done the two of you (well three actually!)

How has my life changed? Well I'm a grandad for the second time, I'm ten times more broke than I was in January and now I'm having to learn the ins and outs of search engine optimisation and Google analytics.....what a palaver!

But its all good.

well done Sedger, its heart warming to hear a story like this (although I do understand partly what you have been through) and its great to hear you have pulled through.

Given the serious shit some people are surviving, it's almost embarrassing...

Financials continue to decline.
Mortgage company moving for repossession.
House on market.
Still no job.
Mother confirmed with dementia.

Thus with no job I cannot afford a place to rent to get out of house when it's sold to alleviate some of my debt, and that's only if my secured loan holder agrees not to block the sale due to lack of equity for them after mortgage paid. Downgraded jobsearch as no mortgage means no need for big job... Still nothing.
As attorney for my mother, bankruptcy or similar is not an option. Running out of things to sell on Ebay to stay solvent.

In the end, no-one is dying, and it will only be deeply unpleasant for me briefly while my pride, possessions and pets get redistributed. But it is cold comfort.

there have been some very uplifting stories on here, and some no so happy ones.

not a lot has changed for me, just keep muddling through - as per

though over the last few weeks i do feel brighter than i have done in a long time and i like to think this club and it's members have played a part in that - thanks

Its a bitching situation mate.....and as my wife say, the only way out is through it....but you've got your health and your family. Keep your end up.
