    Sounds like you have enough to keep you busy!! Look at the bright side of the redundancy - at least Capital One won't be able to hassle you or arrest your wages!

    When are you hoping to go BR?

    Becuase my boss gave me the heads up i can be quick off the mark with the internal vacencies, so fingers crossed i will still have a salary.

    I'm in Scotland so i need to wait for a statory demand or charge for payment, soon as i get that i'll apply

    But i'm not 100% sure if a creditor needs to send me one of those before they can arrest wages, i'm really hoping so

    SSA - I went to Ikea today and used my home card for a free cup of coffee. I must admit when she swiped it through I was waiting for bells and whistles to go off as they were one of my creditors! Anyway I filled the coffee cup with coke instead and had a piece of dime cake - yummy!!! Plus I got to walk all the way through with OH and DS. We went all through the top floor and back to the restaurant where the stairs/lift are to downstairs and my son said "Oh, we could have just gone straight here in the first place". Innocently I said "Oh no how did we miss that the first time round?" Little does he know he was manouvered through the whole of the store! Hehehehe At least I fed and watered him first.

    Free refills so its drink as much as you want for free. I always get my DD a mug & she has coke too & then a cup of tea after.

    LOL Beth & I have spent many an hour in Ikea without spending anything at all!!

    All posts show an hour ahead...I have CP set to `automatic update GMT`....I keep thinking its 10.45pm!

    Yes, I did have my refill. Does the family card allow you just one mug for free? I don't want to miss out on anything!

    10:45 that would just about be my bedtime! :eek:

    Hi SSA
    Go to user CP, edit options, and time and date, then edit there. You may want to put 'auto detect time' or whatever it says

    The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter :(
