  • Bu&&er, I just noticed my spelling mistake on legal (I can spell sometimes, just never when it matters)

    Can I ask which banks you're going for? I am also helping friends take on Natwest and Lloyds TSB and anything I learn about the way they handle themselves I am happy to pass on.

    I'm very pleased to hear that you're IV free for the next 6 weeks, that month you just took off must have been good for you.

    Another idea for fast cash, as you are an experienced car booter, could you sell other peoples unwanted items, and take a % of the earnings after expenses? I don't know if it will work as I have never done one myself (distinct lack of car for booting). I have every faith in your ingenuity to come up with something, just don't let the deadline phase you!

    Best wishes

    Thank you Batgirl!! I need to get them sorted this week, I am now taking the whole week off work so I WILL do it ;) - the problem is that my darling boyfriend wrecked my laptop over the weekend and now I've had to restore it so I lost everything that I had on there before including a breakdown of all my bank charges :mad: so now it will take me twice as long to sort it out.

    Sorry I haven't been around much recently, Joshua's website just went mad and we've had loads of card orders to fill so I've been busy doing that. It has calmed down a lot now though so I will be around more.

    Not done much debt clearing either I'm afraid. I need to get going on AQA so that I've got enough money to pay my mum back.

    Nothing much else to report :D

    Could you please send the web address on to me as well. I often can't face coming on this board because it starts my anxiety off, which in turn makes dealing with out money problems twice as hard. I've been following your story for a while now, you inspire so many people. Thank you

    Hi everyone

    I received a phone call this afternoon saying I have won another competition. It is for a weekend in London for me and a friend. Basically it's going on a Saturday, you then get to go shopping with a personal shopper with £500 spending money :eek: , you get a makeover from a top stylist and get to stay in a 5* hotel for the night. You then get a consultation with a personal trainer on the Sunday who will work out a gym regime for you. You also get a goodie bag full of beauty products and when I get back they will send me a month's supply of pot noodle (:confused: )!!

    I am just soooo chuffed with this prize. The reason being that it is my sister's birthday on Friday and I have yet to get her anything. I asked the woman who called me if I could let my sister get all of the pampering and she said yes. Therefore this is going to be the best birthday present my sister has ever received and all it cost me was a £1.00 text!!!!!

    I've typed a kind of prize description up and I will print this out and stick it in a card for her. I have booked it for the 7/8th October and all I have told her is that she must keep that weekend free.

    She will be over the moon!!

    Just wanted to share some nice news with you all for a change :D

    Thank you, yeah I'll be going with my sister but only one of us could have the personal shopper (although we have both got very similar taste so that's not a problem), the makeover and the personal trainer so I asked if my sister could have all of that. We can both share the £500 spending money, just when I needed some new clothes too :D

    I just can't wait to see her face when I tell her on Friday. She's just been made redundant from her job with Zurich Insurance too so she's been really down recently bless her (she was there for 10 years!).

    I just don't know how I'm going to keep this a secret until Friday!!

    What a sister you are! That's really kind of you. Wish you were my sister.

    Hope you both have a great weekend. Let us know how it goes.
