Nothing changes, does it? The Struggle still continues with me - but I'm drawing up the battleplan at work tonight to sort out the latest round of crap to hit me!

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt

That quote says so much doesn't it? And as my life keeps on keeping on at me, it seems to apply to me more and more each day.

I've won the second repossession order for the house - they've accepted a settlement proposal, for now, anyway, so I thought that that was that, all sorted, although I've got to work like crazy for the next 18 months to make all the repayments.

But yesterday, I received court papers from the secured finance place, who have, I think, decided to push for repossession despite the settlement offer, which I thought had been accepted.

On the other side of life, my second place of work is now fully manned again, so there won't be any part time work coming from there again. I did manage to get one overtime shift there this month, which was Wednesday just gone, so it's helped out a bit, but not enough by far.

Because I've been bankrupt, one of the management jobs I applied for - as it later turned out - involved cash handling, and although my bankruptcy has been "spent", I'm still disqualified from such positions, but only in the minds of the young, uneducated personnel "managers".

I can't summon the guts at the moment to talk to the finance company again, but I'll do that on Monday. For the time being, it's back to the drawing board this weekend, devising a massive battleplan to get us out of this mess.

Letty, thanks for your reply to my last post here, voluntary repossession is an option. Only thing is, THEY take the house off you, put it through auction, leaving a massive gap between sale price and what you owe on the mortgage, so the mortgage companies still end up chasing you for the balance - for years to come.

If they do take the house off me, I'll file for bankruptcy when they start chasing me for the money again. I'm not going to struggle to pay for a house I don't have any more. Stuff that for a lark!

But I'm hoping it won't come to that. Operation Battleplan Commences. NOW.

Sorry if this blog comes across as negative - it's not meant to - that much. But there's no point in painting a rosy glow on it, is there? Not yet, anyway.
