maybe goodbye???

Comment Published at 12:5412:5426 comments26 comments61 Visits61 VisitsReport

well, i think ive been here twice already. but this time could be for real. we ae being threatened to be cut off again, we have set a budget, to try pay all our bills etc, and we are doing the bes we can, but we may get cut off.at the end of our pay we are left with $8 for bits and pieces we may need over the fortnight.  We have spoken about it, and, we have decided to pay as much as we can per pay day on our phone bill, hopefully it will be enough, but, not likely. but if we get cut off we get cut off. we are fine with it really, as it would save us money once we paid it off. we dont want to just cut the phone and net off, as we will break contract, but if they disconnect us well so be it, besides, we might still be given a few weeks. we dont like our internet provider anyway, so it will be a good excuse to join back up with our old one, why we ever left is beyond me! we paid much less for twice the benefits! anyway, just wted you all to know if i suddenly disappear!

we might win lotto lol.  honestly, we are totally fine about it. it will  be good to not be at the computer so much. will come back and keep you update when i visit my mum,

I had my first pregnancy nightmare the other night. I dreamt i went into labour now, and they couldnt stop it. then i woke up about 5 and had a  massive panic  attack about  having a incompetent cervix. stems from a lady i know who wnats a baby but she has lost two babies at 5 and a half months due to incompetent cervix. still aa  it worriedd, need to get to 24 weeks now, thats like my 12 weeks lol. totally silly really but i have an over active imagination. anyway i have to go shower and clean, i have some old friends popping in today and my house is a mess and filled with kittens, who by the way are moving house., they keep pooping everywhere grrr. they are 6w2d so i think they are ready to go. FINALLY! i never want anymore kittens. 10 cats is way to many!

Re: maybe goodbye???

Hun, I thought you kiwis had it pretty good when it came to internet and phone bills.  Better than us in Oz, and with faster internet speed too! lol.  I've been told you get unlimited free local calls included in your phone connection and discounted broadband if you get it through Telecom (are they still called that? lol.  My aunty used to work for them).  Or is it more higgledy piggledy these days?

Most companies, as long as you keep making 'faith' payments are not going to cut you off.  I've been there too and found as long as I paid a nominated amount every week, my connections were safe.  You should find the same your way too, after all, what company wants to lose even 1 client if you can still make them money?

Ah yes, pregnancy nightmares.  I had my share of them too, usually that there were hundreds of the little darlings in there and I was giving birth all day every day, for the rest of my life! lol.  Yours does sound like a panic response, and a warning to not frett about what happens to other women.  Relax hun, chances are, it isn't going to happen to you.

Re: maybe goodbye???

 You would be missed if you go Nat. You have a good healthy outlook on things if you get cut off, which is a way to go. I hope this situation gets sorted for you so you know where you stand and what you can do.

No more nightmares either just a smooth sailing pregnancy.

Love Janice xxxx

Re: maybe goodbye???

Well that sux, I'd die without my net access - but I'm not you, and that's probably just as well, for your sake! LOL

Hope all works out for you. Once you've gotten your bills caught up you might be able to shop around and find a cheaper phone/net deal, they're always trying to offer something better than the next company after all. Then you can come back and tell us all about it!

Good luck!

Cheers, DA

Re: maybe goodbye???

I hope it doesn't happen, however if it does, you have a great attitude about it.  Sometimes the things we want aren't exactly what we need, so understanding that and creating a balance is very healthy.  I think nightmares about labour and pregnancy in general... I'm surprised you didn't dream you had kittens LOL! xoxox

Re: maybe goodbye???

lol, me too! Kittens are coming out of my ears!! Ive taken them all outside and shut the door! they keep pooping everywhere! Lucky 50cents a poo is enough bribary for my son, though he will make me broke! Perhapos our phone getting cut off will be a blessing in disguise!? im almost tempted to tell them to just cut it off haha! though i figure, if i leave, then they can charge me penaltys, but if THEY cut ME off, then thats not my fault how can they charge me lol. we'll see xoxox

Re: maybe goodbye???

Hey Nat,

Hoping you don't get cut off as you will be sorely missed. Even tho you'd be popping by when you can get to a computer, it's still not quite the same. In saying that tho, as you pointed out if you do get cut off at least it gives you a chance to free up some finances and possibly go with a cheaper, better provider.

As far as bubble goes (lol - I thought that was cute too  ), try not to worry. You prayed for this baby and you were given it. Trust and rest in His love for you sweety.

I will soooo miss not having minti on tap, thats for sure, but, my resolution was to try spend less time on the computer, so it will be good anyway. minti is way to addictive!

Re: maybe goodbye???

Hey there sorry to hear what you are going through, do what i do i am on prepaid home phone and prepaid internet.NO BILLS!!!!!!!!. works for us we cant over spend and if you dont have the money then you dont get on net until you have the $$$$$  it might work out a tad more expensive but hey no bills and you only put on what you can afford.

Re: maybe goodbye???

Naawww hun, I will miss you dearly, you have been a great support for me particularly over the last 3 weeks. If there was some way I could help please know that I would! Hopefully what you are paying will be enough. come on 24 weeks! I remember my first nightmare when I was preg with master ratbag, He was born with only one lung and a massive whole in his heart. It was horrible. And I used to get visits from a little person who was in a black cloak and I couldn't see anything but that, I would freese and get cold and have trouble breathing, That would happen 1-2 times a night. So I think we both have a very vivid imagination - not always good.

Well Hope to hear from you soon if you do get cut off!

Take care, Love ya muchly. xxxx.

Re: maybe goodbye???

You will be missed of course, but you are being very sensible and trying to sort out your finances,sometimes something has to go.

It's not easy for young families these days and you have expenses that are more essential. hope to see you on line when you can get to a computer

Love Pauline

Re: maybe goodbye???

yeah for some reason we cant get our phone bill below 128 a month, and thats the least! yet when we signed up he assured me we wouldnt spend anymore than ninety! so anyway, we arent minding, it would be nice to not be cut off, as it sticks, but if it happens it happens :D we are doing the best we can with what we have, and as long as we have food power and a roof, nothing else matters.

Re: maybe goodbye???

Yup, you can steal bubble. We wouldn't forget you! How could we??

You just do what you have to do to keep your family happy and safe. The internet is the least of things that you really need.

Aww Nat, it will be sad to see you leave here, but if it is going to help your family financially, then it is for the best.

You do have an active imagination, but i guess i would be the same. Just try not to stress out too much, stay calm and little bubble will be with you before you know it.

Much love xoxox
