My OH was unable to pay his car insurance (due today, he leaves everything to last min) so rang the company and was getting ready to give a sob story when was asked 'is your car still worth 10,000 euro, to which he laughed :rotfl: !! It turns out that seeing as his car is now worth significantly less, his policy also costs less, 900euro less!!! :j :j Made our weekend!!!

Hooooray for the World Cup!

I entered a competition at work (cost me £10) to do with the World Cup and I came third so I won £25!

Got the cash today and I promptly took £10 out (for something I would have had to have withdrawn cash for) and banked the rest before I could fritter it away on useless rubbish. :A

I got paid today and didnt go into my overdraft again ( havent gone overdrawn since starting on here ) and I am up to 8 days smoke free ( again :rolleyes: )

I am over the moon! Last week my 17 month-old niece dropped juice onto my laptop, causing it to literally crash and burn! I reported it to my home insurance company, who demanded it be sent for assessment.

I just got a call from the insurance company - the IT company assessing it have confirmed it is beyond repair, and they have agreed to replace it, so I only have to pay my excess and not buy a whole new computer!!

Theya re even going to salvage all my data from the hard drive, so my music collection and important docs might survive....

YAY!!!!!

Finally I have the good news I've been working on for the last 9 months (hence my sudden disappearance)DS 2's appeal for DLA was on Monday and we got the decision not to increase the rate overturned unanimously!! Its been a lot of hard work but was worth it... We will also get it backdated from Nov 05 so we can buy him all the stuff he needs now RESULT!!!!!!

Time to revive this old beast

I just got a phonecall out of the blue from an agency I was temping for a while ago (for job 2 out of 3 lol), who tell me I have holiday pay accrued I've not taken. Prolly not much but that's my goodies sorted for the weekend. Woots.

I finally won the arguement with work and will be paid my owed sick pay on Friday - another £75 for the cc

I am reviving this thread becasue I have just had some brilliant news. Some of you may remember that before my lightbulb moment I decided that I really needed a personalised reg and promptly went out wacked a lot of money on my credit card for said 'necessity' only to find out later that my company do not allow personalised registrations on company cars so basically I had a very expensive piece of paper :rolleyes: well I have just found out that the reg has been sold for £950 which is just over what it stands me at :beer: I am not sure how long it will take to actually get the money through once all the paperwork is done but it is going straight off my c/card :cool:
