    Mrsaudus, nice to see you back and a big congrats on paying off the loan, that must feel positive and as if the debts really are coming down

    Tallie, glad your having an upbeat day and are all ready for uni, i know the feeling, there is always too much reading to be done! Shame about the cost of the service, sometimes i do wonder if passing my test was worth it! Infact i won't be using my car tomorrow and will be relying on public transport, as it works out cheaper for the day i have planned!

    Mbaz, don't forget to take it a little easy, sounds like you've had a hectic day and more work, now that is energy!

    Glad your feeling better painted lady, it can be extremly exhausting going back to work and it really takes it out of you. Try and take it easy too!

    Additional ones for today!:
    -I have typed up second part of my assignment and found qoutes
    -I have sorted out my nvq folders from today
    -I have sorted out some financial papers
    -I have checked freebie sections for freebies
    -I have sorted out mystery shops for tomorrow
    -I have spoken with a friend regarding pamper party on Saturday
    -I will go work on my case studies in a mo for my ear candling course
    -I'll work through printed out copy of assignment to look for corrections etc

    Have a great evening everyone, see you tomorrow!

    Make sure you take it easy the rest of the night and don't try and catch up with work all at once, it can really take some time to get back into the swing of work when you have had a long absence. I was only off a couple of weeks and it knocked me totally out of sync. Five weeeks is going to take some catching up with - physically and mentally - take care:D

    Hi Sans,
    was going to post about the coffee pods - saw the voucher in asda magazine this morning - might have known you would have already spied it first:T

  • Hey its late, but am still kinda on form inbetween grr ing alot

    Sorry about the list you know how it is with visitors - much to do so little cleaned!! Not list envy so much as needing to get sorted quickly - ta for support today - xx

    Had a major on/off fight with the bank all day, which culminated with me telling my bank manager that I absolutley wouldn't be expecting any charges on my account if anything at all was over any agreed limits. WTFC paid in an unexpected 2600ish, I transferred it to my online savings account, when they cleared the transaction and said it was ok, no point in teasing myself......anyway I thought it was better to keep it safe and think about it all.

    GRRRR - turns out my tax credits is indeed due to me :) but the bank have withdrawn the money overpaid; after i transferred it to my saver account (why I dont know, neither do they they are investigating it - they have no answers) so I am illegal overdraft, by 2500 and the money i had in account for other spending has been sucked in to it too - (following this) but it means the 10quid I switched in woolies on sun is a transaction that isnt paid for ie I have no funds therefore its an over the funds limit thing

    Normally I am so needy with bank, but due to this site and others I have truely truely tried to be good, and now am challenging the bank to sort things out.

    Poor girl on phone, 'cant you just pop down and put your account into your allowed overdraft - ok its 4pm I am at work, we have talked about this all day - um no - its in my online saver, I can't just pop in and put something back that you have taken that you don't quite know why you have taken out - when other folk WTFC tell me that if you have sent it back to them, they will send it back to me - cos I am entitled to it'

    Sounding like a mad woman am going to bed - they had better not charge me
    !?!
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:
    :money:Sleeves up folks.:money:
  • Sorry for the grr some behaviour - everyone sounds ace today - few hiccups mine included - but otherwise all very savy money saving - xx got work for a bit thinking of you all, sorry for my rant.

    Nice tea, (reduced mince, free bread and nice company all good x)
