    Afternoon Everyone :wave:

    Hope everyone is ok today :D

    Randon question - Do you know the name of the site where you can look up phone numbers & find out who a company is ?
    I've had a couple of calls from a number for the guy who used to live here 2 1/2 years ago, sounds like they're chasing money but the message is so muffled I can hardly hear it.
    Still get post for this guy from MINT & EGG, I always send it back as "return to sender, moved from this address 2006" as I don't have a forwarding address for him.

    Karmacat - you should be able to ring up your loan company & get a settlement figure, when I got mine a couple of years ago, they gave me a date it was valid to, which if I remember rightly was 6 weeks, paid the loan off & I got a letter confiming it was all settled.

    IC
    x

    Inky - I usually find if you google the number it'll bring up something (quite often a thread on MSE or similar! :D )
    Debt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012.

    Afternoon al :hello: Sorry I'm late. Went to bed at 2am and slept 10 HOURS!!!! straight through to 12:o

    Bit relieved to be honest. Been trying to go to bed or take naps when my body is telling me it needs them and this last week I haven't been getting any sleep messages - I was up until 5am Sunday into Monday then up again 10ish Monday morning, bed again 1am Tuesday and up (and full of energy) at 6am yesterday then bed at 2am this morning. Was beginning to think 5 hours was going to be max sleep required:eek: Oh well - all good practice for when I finally pod I suppose ...

    In additionwhile I was surfing last night I seem to have poicked up a virus o having to run software and the bloody windows warning pop ups are drivingme nuts, appearing every 2 minutes...

    Today I plan to
    • paint 4 wooden shelves with white gloss
    • watch at least 2 films
    • use the foot spa Hubbles got me for Xmas
    • eat chocolate
    I hope Bookie approves...:p

    Hi Luc - Glad you managed to get some sleep :T

    My prediction is Bookie wil approve of the last 3 but she might go :eek: of the 1st one.
    Me - I'd just skip the first 3 & go straight to the last one :rotfl:

    I should thnk you would sleep after yesterday's activities! :D
    Sounds like you plan a more relaxing day today - make sure you stick to it. I wish I could come and join you!
    I bought some of your oven cleaning stuff yesterday but I appear to have hidden it with the ironing!:rotfl: One day!

    Eeek! It's 1 o'clock and I've still not sorted the kitchen! :eek:

    Hi Lucifa, restlessness is a sign that things may be imminent!

    my trouble is, the door of the oven needs taking off as no matter how clean the oven, the door is still manky!!

    sounds like mans work to me!
