    Afternoon peeps,

    Well we didnt have any more snow after about 7pm last night so roads were ok apart from being a bit icey. BUT i got stuck in traffic from my house to my work!! Normally it takes 15 mins max in the mornings. It took me 1 1/2 hours to get to work so was an hour late. :confused::confused::confused: So i stayed an hour extra after work to make up my hour missed. I was not happy, i thought i was going to wee myself sitting in that traffic!:rotfl: :o

    Ive just seen Mi-info has shut down there site already!!:( They didnt stay open for long! I hope they send me my voucher, its been about 2 weeks since i ordered it.

    I had a spend today a card and pressie for OH for valentines day. £7.50 in total!:rotfl: ;)

    And i brought my petrol today, i can now fill up a the whole tank for £34 now instead of the £43 odd it used to cost me.

    That reminds me i must go and call Tesco's insurance to cancel there renewal....rip off's! I hate phoning places companies espically to cancel!:confused:

    I hope i do too, they said anyone who ordered before 1st of feb will get the vouchers. Fingers crossed.

    Ive cancelled my tesco car insurance renewal and brought new policy through Shelias wheels who were £2 cheaper than Halifax plus you get allsorts of extra cover like handbag, cd player etc! lol.
    After quidco CB it will have cost me £236, a little more than the quote i got a while back but thats because i added legal protection this time. Just incase. But still got it for less than half the price of Tesco.:)

    Only thing that worries me is i have to send off proof of no claims discount, which is renewal letter. On my letter it says premium 5 years maximum no claims discount. I assume 5 years is the most they count, as i have 6 years no claims altogther.

    So when i send off my proof i hope sheilas wheels dont say i havent got 6 ive only got 5 as that says 5 max on letter. If you get me? lol

    Anyway, ive put it on my CC to get asda points too! Then will pay off in full when bill comes.:)

    Afternoon,

    I received my insurance documents in the post today, so have now sent off the proof of no claims bonus. Fingers crossed they get it!

    Got my pay slip today, i made £15 extra money this week from overtime i did. Although i think they have missed off an hours pay, i will have to check that 2moz.

    Qype emailed me saying they are yet to dispatch my ipod and the dispatched email was sent out by mistake. I should get it by end of Feb now. So at least it hasnt gone missing in the post.:)

    Oh and on monday when i pad money into my ISA it was down to 1.5% so by next week i suppose it will be at 1%!! I mite aswell keep the money under my bed! lol
