    I don' mind ironing but my pet hate is putting it away????????????? I did all my ironing yesterday (not bad now kids grown and moved out so only myself and DH) and it is still in neat piles on my kitchen worktop. In the past I've been known to have to re-iron bits cos they've become soooo creased again. On that note I'll prompty take DH's pile and put it in bedroom for him to hang and then I just have mine to do :)

    Morning all.......scratchcards done - only 10p but I am just 40p away from cashin so will get there sometime this week, and banking done - nothing exciting to report there, but it is payday tomorrow and I still have £8.32 in the bank, so that has to go down as a success, especially with the costs we have had to cover on OH bike etc this month.....

    I got my dooyoo miles up to the next payout level, just need to wait for them to validate and then I can request my £50 cheque. Then time to start working on the next one!

    This week is a big week for bank charge claims - I think that they are at the House of Lords this week.....so far it has gone the way of the consumer, but I do feel that it will turn itself round and go the way of the banks.....we shall see, but my fingers are firmly crossed. For those of you that are fairly new to my diary, we had £4000 of charges that we are claiming, and just two weeks before my court date the whole thing was put on hold.......so close......yet so so far! If we got anything back at all, it would be very very useful!!

    Have a good day x

    Keeping fingers crossed for you on that-i claimed £1200 back on behalf of my OH (for a small comission of course!) in 2006 thanks to this site. Im sure OH's racked up a little again so will be listening out for any news.

    Happy birthday to miss surfbabe! Sounds like you really are having a busy time of it at the moment!

    Glad you had a good day yesterday, Shaun :T

    cocalls, I managed to claim £3000 from Halifax at the beginning of my debt free journey on MSE - it was actually that which brought me to the site in the first place, on the recommendation of someone who was on a weightwatchers forum, when I was desperately trying to kid myself I could be a size 8 :rolleyes: But if I can get any of the rest of it back, it would be very good news. Sadly, I think the powers that be will side with the "poor banks" who will have to pay out all this money when they are "already suffering in the economic downturn" and so us mere mortals who of course are not "already suffering in the economic downturn" will be pushed aside.

    Of course, giving back money in bank charges to the customer would actually kick start the economy, because what will most people do when they get money in their account? Go shopping of course!!

    too true or paying off debts so they would in effect be getting their money back :rotfl:

    Don't get me started on banks, credit card companies, insurance companies, the government.......why do the working classes pay heavy taxes to support every other beggar? The ones who can work but don't want to, or the idle rich who can afford accountants to fiddle their books for them? Come the revolution.........we will need a ruddy great wall to put that lot up against.

    On a lighter note - nice day here but a bit muggy so a little gentle pottering around the garden followed by a nice cup of coffee while I do my online grocery shop is what I prescribe for myself today. have a nice day y'all!

    The best solution is a flat tax. No loopholes, no nothing. Puts a lot of tax accountants out of business though. The inland revenue is dead set against a flat tax...
