    Evening :D

    Blimey Missus, I'm busy for a couple of days and when I catch up, you have 'made' enough to clear your utility bill AND possibly a credit card??

    I will stay away more often! :rotfl:

    You are not weird, I love the admin of debt.....especially when I can really get my teeth into someone. I've just had the HEAD ( ! ) of Barclaycards Data Protection Team on the phone TO me...'we cannot apologise enough' says she...'No, you cant!' say I 'come back with a proper proposal which includes the words never charge interest again maybe?'

    You are doing icredibly well BB xx
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    ....one-way ticket to Portugal booked !

    Merci beaucoup Monsieur le Pew :D

    Well, I cashed the £4 bread bin postal order so Ihave around £9 in my purse. I really must get some petrol though so I'll spend £5 on that which will keep me going for perhaps a week.

    The £30 from a closed account arrived as £32 in my current account so a small bonus there. The £287 ISA interest also arrived. Once the £300 profit from my shares arrives I can start to divvy it up.

    I had a HUGE amount of meat arrive from my butcher this morning. OH owed me some money from the payment of our last holiday and I had a 24% discount code for the site so I used his CC to fill the freezer with lovely free range meat with 24% off what are already fairly reasonable prices for free range products. I'm going to marinate some bacon ribs tonight for dinner :D

    WTC have been reduced to £82 from £99 :rolleyes:, not a huge amount, although I've not had the official letter. Once I get my P60 from work, I can do my tax return and I can then find out exactly what they will be for this year.

    no - honestly - I can't see it!!!

    (but if it gets my legs slapped I'll deny anything :D )

    off to work. Just checked bank account and the butcher has used my debit card details they already had on file instead of OH's CC I input which was a bit aaarrrrgghhh when I saw. I remember the site was a bit wobbly at the time and I had to come out of it whilst they fixed the error. Guess when I went back in it hadn't saved what i'd input.

    However, I need to buy my train ticket for Leeds which is around the same amount so I will be using OH's CC to buy that this afternoon as the money he owes me, so it's all sorted.
