I can't imagine being saddled with credit card bills while living there as their bill paying system isn't as efficient as in the US - I'm sure the UK is similar in convenience. I have only one bill I have to put in the mail, the rest is paid online. <BR/><BR/>You must have had an adjustable rate mortgage... that's been the bane of our economic woes here in the US along with folks who had bad credit all along and should have stayed renters. At least you got out OK. <BR/><BR/>Amy - yeah, I understand about cutting expenses. We have the most basic cable service because we need it just to get a decent signal for our broadcast stations. We don't go out to the movie theater and Golf and I love movies, so Netflix was the moreAmy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298813796594032650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427267.post-65484657994175972007-08-29T21:01:00.000-07:002007-08-29T21:01:00.000-07:00we actually just canceled our netflix acct cuz jod...we actually just canceled our netflix acct cuz jody was the only one getting movies and we really need to cut whatever expenses we can. that movie sounds good though. maybe if we sign up again down the road, we will chk it out. :)Crunchy Domestic Goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546426544439507593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427267.post-27251039326202330992007-08-29T10:26:00.000-07:002007-08-29T10:26:00.000-07:00That was supposed to read but then my mortgage wen...That was supposed to read <BR/><BR/>but then my mortgage went up and up and I really struggled to cope<BR/><BR/>I think I may have dyslexic fingers!!<BR/><BR/>C xCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327016337976942530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427267.post-23936121662319339152007-08-29T10:24:00.000-07:002007-08-29T10:24:00.000-07:00Amy,I couldn't agree more!!

I bought and my first year was incredibly cheap.....but then my mortgage and I really struggled to cope!! I remember not being able to sleep for worrying about how I was going to be able to pay everything. In the end I was able to sell my apartment and pay off all my debts but I have to say that most of them came from the fact that I owned the bloomin apartment in the first place!!<BR/><BR/>It taught me a valuable lesson and now I have no debt at all...not even a credit card!!<BR/><BR/>C xCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327016337976942530noreply@blogger.com
