Jan v A&L won 24/8/07 - in spite of stay!

[alice-rose]

hi jansus

 

don't let it get to you.

I know that sinking feeling - not very nice.

thats how i felt the day i received the defence.

 

but we're all fighters on here. made of stern stuff.

 

Everything will be fine.

 

You just need to get that bundle prepared now,

so they can see you're prepared to go all the way if needs be.

 

we're all here for you

to jolly you along and

help with useful advice where we can.

 

and I'm sure mister spongecake will oblige with the odd joke

to get you smiling again.

 

hugs

Well done Jansus..............you have a court date to work to now, I am sure you will be a well prepared litigant .

You've got plenty of time Janus to prepare and I just know your submission will be excellent

 

Keep us informed how it's going.

 

By the way, about this "Without Prejudice" thing : If A&L/Wragge put it on one of their offer letters and we write back declining without putting it on our letter, presumably we can then put our reply in the bundle can't we?

 

When I prepared my bundle, I didn't know anything about Without Prejudice and included everything:rolleyes: Oh well, the judge will just have to ignore it ... (you live and learn!).

thanks everybody for your support. Just been out for a night with "the girls" .few drinks and they went in a hot tub - but I had a bit of a wobbly about being old and wobbly:D and did not go in.

 

I am ready for the hearing and suprised it is so soon. Out in the sticks here the courts must be quieter???

 

I just keep thinking the worse that can happen is that I loose. not the end of the world!!! worse things happen at sea. (as spongebob knows!)

 

but here is my chance to pretend I am in the job I always wanted to do - be a barrister (sort of:rolleyes: )

 

sorry if spelling is bad - too much vino!

[MimiJane]

We'll be gentle with you today then

[stikiuk]

Just to let you know Jan, when we were at court we asked the usher how things were going to go for the day, he went and got a solicitor brought him over to us and said give these guys some free legal advice

Anyways the sol said to take absolutely no notice of the rep from A&L and there was no way we were going to lose . He had a few clients there all claiming and he said hed done quite a lot over the last couple of months and not lost 1 !

Good luck hun, will keep an eye on your post x

[alice-rose]

Ooohhhh

did they go out all prepared with cossies and bikinis,

or jump in fully clothed ?

 

tee hee

Jansus you'll be fine. We're all rooting for you and I'm sure your bundle will be tip top:D. It may not even get that far, but if it does you can go do your Ally McBeal on their bottoms.

 

Try a fryup it works wonders when I have a hangover.

 

Best of luck

all with cossies- actually after a few drinks it looked like fun. We normally go to kareoke once a month - so it made a change. Also learnt lots about internet dating as two of them are newly single and although in their 40s and 50s are re-visiting their teenage years - with much younger guys:eek:

Just noticed something very interesting - researching a current account for my son and looked at the A&L premier21 account- guess what the daily charge for an unauthorised OD is ??? £25.00 -NO £12.00?? NO

 

£3.00 per day!!

 

So that surely shows that their admin is minimal. I know they are trying to attact new business but surely that shows the excess that we all knew we had been paying for years is unjustified. ( as if we did not know that already:rolleyes: )

 

jan:)

[Jess68]

I wasn't aware there was a daily charge... though it was jsut a standard charge per month

[MimiJane]

There certainly is ... yet another kick in the face:rolleyes:

[jansus]

yes at the moment i think it is £25.00 first day and £25.00 third day on top of fees for bouncing dd.

[chubbas dad]

[jansus]

you can tell its been a lovely day today - very quiet on here!

Managed to shut my eyes to all the mess and get out in the sun.

 

Last night my daughters lovely studious inoffensive boyfriend and a mate got beat up by a gang of 20 trouble makers at a village folk/rock festival!my daughter is still in shock and the two boys ended up in hospital.luckily they are out today - but i just know in my bones - the **** will get away with it.made me wish I had done something more in my life so that I could help stop people like this ruining the reputation of all young people- who are not all bad. bring back stop and search I say! (they were tooled up with baseball bats and crowbars).

 

 

feel better now i have had a rant.

 

 

must start my bundle soon!

 

 

jan

[alice-rose]

Oh dear jan

 

my heart goes out to your daughters boyfriend and friend.

 

makes me feel quite ill thinking about it.

 

why are there so many nasty people out there.

 

Whenever my two go out -

I'm literally on tenterhooks until they're

back home and tucked up in bed.

 

I really don't understand the world we are living in today.

I dread hearing the news when the tv gets switched on.

 

We appear to be experiencing a breakdown in society.

with a large number of young people running riot,

where have all the moral values gone.

 

Good to hear they are both out of hospital today.

its really going to knock their confidence.

Poor things.

Give them my love and a big hug

and a hug and kiss to your daughter too.

 

Thankfully Jan,

there are, I believe

far more good people than bad people !

Bring back national service i say, the punishment for kids who are on a bad path is nothing. When i was very heavily pregnant i was mugged by a 13 yr old, he didnt get anything cos of his age. when he was 14 he burnt down our local school and only got 3 mths...ridiculous.

[alice-rose]

Ooooh thats awful jen

 

It appears these young kids actually know their rights

they know they can get away with behaving badly because of their age.

 

god only knows what kind of home life they have -

or more to the point don't have.
