    OOh ebay buyers!! Have just had a snotty email off a buyer wanting to know where his item was as he hadn't received it but i had claimed it would be sent out first class post. No hello or thank you, just demanding where it was. The annoying thing is he didn't pay for ten days and only paid because i started a payment dispute!!

    With you on this one, I've just opened a dispute too, despite two friendly emails and reminder invoices, I've heard zilch from my buyer. I'm not going to ebay now until the new year, as I'm guessing folk will be claiming it didn't arrive because of the Christmas post.

    Hey,

    I only started reading this site about 2 days ago and am new to the forums here. I have kicked off today by:

    > Haggling my broadband - Now £17 per month instead of £25

    > Getting rid of phone insurance - Already got it with my bank account, so did not need to be paying 02 £7 per month

    > Driving more efficiently

    > Given my credit card to my parents to hide and look after

    Still need to:

    > Cancel my PPI and try and get a refund - Currently £28 per month!


    I want to clear my £700 credit card debt and reduce my loan repayments as soon as feasibly possible :)
    Loan (for car) - [STRIKE]£6600 [/STRIKE]/ £2842

    Credit Card - [STRIKE]£750[/STRIKE] £0

    I have looked at the 'up your income' board, my interest on the saving is at an ok level for an instant access account.
    Need to sign up for some mystery shops, as can earn £20 per week without it affecting my benefit :j
    Also need to sort out daily clicks
