  • Morning ym,

    I have got a nice little pile of bills and statements for Jan all telling me that I have missed a payment in December - oh, really!!
    The charges and interest are mindboggling.

    Good news about the washing machine, perhaps it has found it's second breath?

    Off to work now - Have a great afternoon......

  • Monday 19th January 2009...57 days to go

    This was my list from last week

    1...Get fees for BR
    2...Change BT DD to Nat West after this months payment
    3...Cancel Water S/O when payment comes out this month
    [strike]4...Change TV License payment to my Nat West[/strike]
    [strike]5...Change Sky to OH account[/strike]
    [strike]6...Change AOL to OH account[/strike]
    [strike]7...Change other water to Nat West[/strike]
    8...Finish off Online form's (90% at the moment)

    Had a sorting out day today ( See above). Most of the hard work done now regarding payments and just need to cancel 2 when payments have gone.
    I need to cancel my old payments but will wait until they are all done in case the bank get suspect.

    BR fund not looking to good but hopefully bonus will pay for that.

    MOT on car today ohnoes.gifohnoes.gif. Not holding out to much hope and think it may be decision time if it is too much :rolleyes:

    Work later so hope you all have a good day

    Good news it is £175 needed to pass and that includes MOT fee. Thought it would be more than that.

    hi Ym, my failed its mot in dec and i thought £132 including the mot was extortionate, you have my sympathies. Im in the same boat as you re the BR fees, although I have managed to ensure that I put aside a bit today.

    keep going, we're getting there!

    It seems silly really when you think we have little money yet to declare ourselves insolvent we have to pay nearly half a thousand pounds. Ironic springs to mind but youre right haleygrey we will get there :D
