CALLING ALL DFWers - THE RED PEN CLUB

Options
I have decided that from now on, any loan or credit card applications will be returned in their pre-paid envelopes with MSE written all over the forms in huge capital letters.(instead of the usual sarcastic comments and made up names)

If we all do this the penny may just start to drop with these companies!
Who's with me?

It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Ohhhhhhhhhh me tooo . I'm good at this, although its usually black marker pen.
  • The trouble with this is they've usually got your name on them, I suppose I could tear that off!
    We used to put any junk mail we had into which-ever had a free post envelope & send it back, my daughter who was little at the time used to scribble all over the envelopes & loved posting them!
    Count me in, fed up of being offered loans & credit cards all the time - what credit crunch:confused:
    It would be great to hear from someone on here that works in one of these depts. to see how many they get through with MSE

    I have my RED PEN ready and loaded, waiting for the next invitation.

    Count me in (Can I have a number, I like numbers):D
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
