Well done. I'm working my way through reading the new reviews now.

Wow, it's all happening on here today...

Orla is a lovely name, I'm sorry about your cousins husband though Maria, I couldn't imagine not having a dad . I hope there is some way you can get your money back CL, paypal *might* have some kind of seller protection thing if the police are getting involved.

Yesterday my sister won £5 & 20p on scratchcards... I won 20p which was a bit annoying as I do them for her every day, but I do have some good news. Firstly I've sold a bracelet which made me £28.12 after paypal fees, but more importantly my car has been paid off . When I got home my dad said that he managed to get some of his money back from America and has paid off the balance for me. I couldn't actually believe it, I almost cried. He keeps telling me that it's a gift and to keep it but I want to pay it back because it's my debt, so he told me if I really want to I should sort myself out financially and only do it when I can afford to. It's going to be great not having to pay out the £155 every month, now I can start putting that money towards my overdrafts. I've already got £100 to take off of my Abbey one once the £61 I took out of paypal earlier goes in, and I get paid on Friday.

CL- thats awful! Im sure you will be able to get your money back some how.

Nichelette - OMG what a lovely dad you have! So your £3047.65 better off?!

That;s great Nichlett

Yep, it was very nice of him. I tried to give him the £1300 in my ISA that I'd been saving towards it but he just refused to take it. The best bit is that I'll get about £120ish refunded soon as the settlement figure doesn't include payments made in the last 10 days and one went this morning. I'm going to keep the money sitting in the ISA for as long as I can and see if I can pay off the overdrafts without touching it as they are 0%.

Also, yukki, I thought you might like to know the ipoints DVD search is up and running again, thought I don't think all of the titles are on it yet, usually you can get every dvd you can order on sendit.com through there so I'm going to hang on til they are all there.

Nichlette I'd forgotten about that. I managed to get what I wanted through amazon with vouchers in the end and then spent my ipoints on a book lol. I'll have a look though see how much I'm looking at if I want another dvd
