Done quite well picked up few summer things in the xmas sales, but hitting Primark for a few extras, luckly shes dainty, me its Evans, or Ann Harvey (very rarely, mad moments 90% (iwish) sale!!).

I think i just need 2 swimsuits, managed to get some cheap tops from evans sale last yr and few tops from mums sale catalogue.

Not happy bunny as checked alliance + leicester account, opened it originally under the Quidco cash back deal, downgraded the account as I wasnt funding it with £500 pm, only to find that they charged me £5.00 for not funding the in the month I cancelled, taking me OD by £1.00, then added £45 charge............so could be a fun monday, got optician am, so bank afternoon, what a cheek.

OMG!!!! Thats Discusting!!!!!:eek:

mega good news
Alliance + Leicester have refunded me the £45 bank charge.......

The large font the nearest I could find to shouting it from the roof tops.

Just checked online and they took the £45.00 out then refunded it on the next line. Ok its only a small amount but its a win for the little guy (or large girl in my case) xx

(Thats £45.00 towards glasses.............)

I rang and asked for it to be refunded to which they said no, so I rang again and asked to speak to either the manager of the dept I was speaking to or the correct department,.......... to which I got transferred to credit control, the woman who I had 1st spoke to must of filled her in, the 1st question the new lady asked was I on benefits, I said yes, she said we're see what we can do, that was Monday, so been checking daily and the online still said the £45 was coming out on the 7th, but when I checked today it went but came back.
I dont know if it was because it was the 1st charge, or because Im on benefits I dont know, if only the halifax were as helpful! I seem to be hitting brick walls, I'm just waiting to see whether they agree to my finaincial hardship, (1k in 2 yrs - with £500 of that in 1 yr, but £315 in jan this yr) xx
