Haven't been around for a few days....

Had to raid the pot for bus money to get to work! Started new job last monday and found out today that I won't be paid till the end of March because I just missed the cut off point to get on this months payroll by a day! Guess I'm going to have to stop the pot till then (

Well done on the new job R_E :T , shame about the wages though :eek: , if that was me we'd be eating grass clippings for a month :rotfl: :rotfl:

This happened to me, and you have my every sympathy. I started work at my new job beginning of Dec, and didn't get paid til last Thurs of Jan. How they expect you to go two months with no income at all I do not know. Fortunately for me DH was able to step up his work a bit and we just about made it. Hope things work out for you.
I nearly had to raid my pot today, well I did raid it, to buy food. We have a cash flow prob, but fortunately the cheque for hte work DH did last week arrived this morning so when that clears things will be fine again. Anyway, I arrived at Mr S with a load of change and apologised to the cashier. She said: why not use your nectar points? It turns out I have zillions of points! She let me use them in £2.50 chunks (not sure why) so I got £13.30 worth of stuff for £1.30! Result! :j

Why would u wanna do that?:eek: The weather's lovely here.:rolleyes: Do you know when yet? we need details!

I got a good call this morning, I wrote to MBNA (virgin credit card) last week to complain about missing the minimum payment, (I thought I had a dd set up) and being charged interest on my 0% card. They thanked me for my 'comprehensive' letter.:rotfl:And are refunding me all of the charges.:eek: I am very shocked. The bloke was actually appologetic.

I wrote a letter and complained to Selfridges on the same day. They sent me a hamper this week (no apology though). Hamper contained chocolate:D:D:D.

Went out for pizza last night and put about £10 in my pottie. I've transferred my £181 from piggy wig into my ISA. OOOOH! I'm feeling like a winner today.:j Almost makes up for the lack of valentines gift/card from mr LC.:o

hi all i was wondering why jess hadnt been on aswell hope shes ok. £3.90 in eeyore today and 12p in small bits jar.we have to go to dentist tomorrow so im taking DS to pictures and pizza express with the orange 2for1 offers afterwards and iv got to use park and ride (theres no way id drive though the town lol) so should have lots of change. im feeling pretty miserable today we had a viewing on the house yesterday and it seemed to go really well but estate agent rang tday to say they think its too small. im gutted we have been on the market for nearly 18mnths had one sale fall through and dropped our price by 11% every viewing i keep thinking this time we will sell. at least we dont need to sell it must be awfull for the people who cant pay their mortgage and are desperate to sell. sorry rant over i dont know whether to scream or cry lol.
