A Payment A Day Part 4

Silaqui

Hi everybody

I'm feeling much better today, thanks for all the nice messages yesterday. Have been back to work and back to the gym :rolleyes: it nearly killed me after 2 days off! Have had a good day diet wise tho, have any of the other losers tries this site http://caloriecount.about.com/ it's quite good but it's such a faf putting everything in. I may or may not continue with it! It says that today I have eaten 740 odd calories and burnt off 2047. Personally I think their figures are a bit off (740 cals for 3 ryvita and philly, 3 chocolate truffles, 2 nice biscuits and a spanish omelette?) but it looks good!

No PAD as per usual I'm afraid.

Something that has annoyed me today tho... some have you might have read that I've been after a 0% balance transfer card and been declined for 2 of them. Well I got some junk mail today (obviously triggered by my searches) from MBNA offering me a platinum plus card with, yep you guessed it, 0% on BT's till July 2010! I'd never get accepted for that and even if I tried, the card I already have with A&L is MBNA! Idiots, why don't they check these things?!

Have a good eve everyone!

I was on the CC board a few weeks back and found out that (apparently!) you can have up to 4 cards with MBNA...you might get accepted!

Evening all,welcome to any newbies.Sorry to hear your not having a great wk Njk,I had a parcel arrive from ebay yest but the item was completely smashed to pieces.I rang po to complain as it was really well wrapped so I'm convinced someone dropped/threw it at the depot.Luckily the seller was really lovely about it and gave me a refund straight away.I feel sorry for her though as she now has no money and no item.I sell too and I have noticed that ebay is a bit one sided and favours the buyer recently.Hope it gets sorted soon.
So here we are-that would be a rotten trick from your cc company but I wouldnt put it past them-fingers crossed for the outcome.Angelicmary well done on getting that card under £100,your doing fab!
My pad today is 50p.Take care everyone

Do any of you guys get child or working tax credits? I posted in a thread earlier and I'm really annoyed at some of the posts on there now.

I don't really think I should be !!!!ed off about it but I feel like (although no-one replied directly to my posts) I was being attacked for getting tax credits...maybe I'm just over-sensitive but the general vibe I'm getting from the thread now is that people only have kids to play the system so they can but plasma screen t.v's! :mad:

Oh, and thanks Twinkles...it'll be dead and buried before the weekend is over!!

I dont get either of those angelic - dont have kids and not old enough for working tax credits! But if i was in that position i would definatly claim them! Dont think its anything to feel guilty about.
Going to have a look at that thread. Stay on the DFW board!!

It's on the DFW boar5d Flower, it starts off o.k (just like many threads) but gets a bit debatey. I don't even know why I'm annoyed!

Hi Angelic - i had a look at the thread and to be honest i wouldn't bother responding. People seem to get so heated about things they know nothing about. I don't think we'd see many people refuse money they were told they were entitled too.

Let them get on with it hun xxx

Hi Angelicmary, I have been reading the thread you are on about with interest. When my daughter was little they had just started a scheme and to be honest we just missed the boat by a £1. My SIL has never worked in her life and 18 years later still doesn't and it really annoys me BUT there is a big difference between people getting what is due/entitled to and milking the system for all they are worth, my SIL had her BF living with her but claimed he wasn't, etc etc the list is endless.

I think the thread started as a genuine "how come"type but has been turned into an anti-benefit thread, hence why I decided not to post on it.

Take no notice :smileyhea

Yeah your probably right but it's not as though I'm spending it on make up or expensive shoes...I will admit to not knowing where it went a few weeks ago but now I PAD just about the whole lot !!!!!!!!! :mad:

Rant over...for now

Thanks hopeful! xxx
