    I just can't seem to get into "work" mode today!!! Work laptop sat on the table doing !!!!!! all and I'm on my PC being very naughty by being on here! Oh the joys of the office being 263 miles away!

    So don't work then, I won't tell as long as you supply some free booze!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Oooh just had a phone call about claiming back on faulty unenforceable credit agreements...har har! They must never have heard of this site, or maybe they have and pose questions to get the answers off here..hmmmm.
    Anyway, told them i would be able to do it all myself and keep any profit for myself if i chose that route..thanks to Martin Lewis and not some profiteering scum bags.

    Free booze? Who gets free booze?! :think: Oh yes - that would be me! :beer:

    Although I'd swap the free WKD for free wine anytime!
    Good wine needs to breathe, if it stops breathing try mouth to mouth.

    :rotfl: as it's commissioned based and we'd all say ' oh that's ok, i know what you are going though. Go and have a look at MSE!' we'd not get paid!!!:D

    :rotfl: :rotfl: Just think of the revenge though on Moorcroft. wonders if you have to ring an 080 no for an application form.

    Experience..extremely thick skinned from dealing with DCA's in the past.
    Have a thorough knowledge of how the system works..thanks to MSE.
    Can always advise clients on the best possible outcome..see MSE.

    I know exactly what you mean Bob, when the chap was here sorting out my new electricity contract I was going through the figures, checking MSE and Quidco while he was stood there looking completely baffled. (I was making sure a better deal wasn't available through Quidco)
    BNy the time he left he was a convert to both sites!:rotfl:

    13 and 16 can be dodgy ground and he can be prosecuted for having those texts on his phone, teachers have been known to report kids for that. Might be worth a chat with both of them due to his age.

    Yes, but at £6.99 it's still a good price. M&S have their 2 dine for £10 on again this weekend so grabbed a different bottle of rose to try later
