(puts little finger to corner of mouth dr evil style!)

joined take a break bingo and deposited my tenner to get the free scratchcards but when i tried to get my tenner back they suddenly want loads of details sent to them, they want copies of my driving license, front and back of my debit card and statement from my debit account!!!!!!!!!!! not happy with giving all that info out, so thinking have now lost my tenner!!! not a happy bunny....................

Morning RTRW!

I had the same thing with Takeabreak bingo. I haven't checked but I don't even think they took the £10 from me in the first place. Haven't logged on there for a while but before crimbo my account only had in it what I from my first scratchcard.

I don't like the idea of passing on all those details either!!

thinking might as well just use the money on the bingo as have lost it any way. no way sending that much info on my account in this day and age!!!!!

BEWARE, BIG RANT>>>>>>>>

had some bad news, my grandad has gone downhill again so wont be going on his home visit on thurs. he has got a water infection and has stopped eating and drinking so have put him back on a drip. my nan says he keeps pooing himself and is wasting away, he has told her today he doesnt think he will come out of there............... they have moved him into a side room (not informed my nan) and told his sister its so no-one else catches the infection (never heard of anyone catching a urine infection from someone else)
me thinks he may have colostridium difficile, but am so annoyed that they havent told my nan anything when she visited today. feel like i am doing their job really as have explained it all to my nan (incase i am right) and told her what to do.

rant over, glad i dont live closer as would of been letting them know all this!!!! but wish i was to help my nan out more........

Pips_Mum

Oh bless Rags.
Mmmmmm it is suspicious isnt it that he was doing well and then gets poorly and they are not explaining it to your nan. And as you say catch a urine infection? Sounds dodgy to me.
Just letting your nan talk to you about it will be helping her.
Sending you love and hugs x x

Oh bless, thats horrible that they are not talking to your nan about whats going on and yes catching a urin infection??? sounds a bit funny!!!!
I hope they explain some more to her soon and he takes a better turn soon. It good she has you to talk to im sure it helps.

good morning everyone, sorry for the rant yesterday, feeling a little better today.
well just checked the online banking and i think for the first time ever, nothing went out of the bank account yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:T my fella is keeping up with taking enough food for the day and his flask!! think it helps having a selection of food and he has said he wants to cut down on the amount of food he is eating as thinks he has crept up to 23 stone. instead of eating all his food by breakfast he is actually making it last, think he just used to eat for fun.

wont be as nsd today as need to get more teething stuff, toilet roll and gonna get some veggies from the market to puree ready for ds2' weaning.

on the subject of weaning, there is so much conflicting advice out there (and i have done it before) some people recommend starting with baby rice whilst others say go staright into the fruit and veggies????!!!!!! got a free pack of baby rice so may just start with that and then move onto more flavours. think i started with rusks with ds1 (half for him, half for me!!:D )

have done my daily scratchcards and changed the name on the butlins one to my fella's as you are only supposed to have one account with them and done my daily clicks. have noticed though that the high street web doesnt always show up on both quidco and topcashback..............my bank is gonna wonder whats going on with deposits of 10p here and there!!

still waiting to hear from the virgin card, payment for the egg card goes out tomorrow so will pay min off hbos card in the hope i am accepted for the balance transfer. might only be able to make the min payment to the next card this month, so well off my target of £333 a month to hit my £4k this year.

really need to get my backside in gear and get my massive ebay pile listed. that should hopefully give me some extra to throw at the debts. just hope ebay dont take massive amounts in fees as dontthink they are having a cheap listing day in the near future.

well think thtas enough from me, going for a nice hot cuppa,
see you soon,
love rags

right, checked my credit cards online and checked the minimum amounts, the egg card minimum was £44.20 so have just paid an extra £4.80 to round it up to £50 but the hbos card, the minimum was £16 but estimated interest was gonna be £15 so upped that payment to £50 too. next is due at the end of the month so should hopefuully have some ebay money to throw at that!

bit disappointed not to reach my target this month to keep me on track, will just have to find a way of making it up later. least i will be under £2k on the egg card, and under £1.2k on the hbos card.

not heard back from work yet about taking 3 weeks annual leave next month, was hoping they will say yes so only have this month and next to struggle on the maternity pay. (get paid the previous month on the 10th of the next month)
