    Hi Guys,
    I just rang council tax about the court summons they sent me, and they said I still had to pay the £50 summons fee even though I was waiting for benefit!
    The lady spoke to her supervisor who said I was still liable, I started to cry :o
    Then I ask if I could speak to the supervisor, was put on hold, same lady came back on saying the supervisor was busy but she will waiver the summons fee :j

  • Quote from URG - Greetings from Egypt. Managed to get some wireless access so haven't needed to pay for internet access. I've managed to do loads of haggling and have really enjoyed it. I have been good and not bought too much as I am close to my limit. I also applied my MSE skills for booking my hot air balloon ride. The tour company quoted £135 (sterling) for a couple. I managed to find a local agent and got it for about £80 (sterling). Woo hoo.

    We're having a great time - no need for socks here. Except I did need some for our hot air balloon ride this morning where BF proposed!!!!!!!!!! I, of course, said yes! :j I've been busting to tell people but we have decided to wait until we get back to tell our friends. We've already told my family and will call his family soon. Bless him, he is so exhausted that he is fast asleep. Must have been all of that nervous energy. :rotfl:

    WOW congrats URG!!!!!!!
