    woooo wooooo just won £5 on littlewoods bingo scratchcards so ive withdrawn £12.80 from there yeaaah most ive ever won before was 50p!!
    And im just 40 lightspeed points from getting my first payout of £6.

    I don't feel as motivated to pay this debt off for some reason as i was saving the £5000 the Oh has soo much stuff to pay for at the mo (inc cycling from poland to estonia) that he's not been able to put any money in.

    I now have £41 to last me until i get paid on the 16th as transpennine express have chargd me twice for my train ticket-tried to get it sorted out yest but i was getting nowhere i'll try and do it again today I WANT MY £41.30 BACK!!

    Sctrachcards done all of 35p and quidco done-was only paid £1.53 from them this month i think thats the lowest amount ever i'll just wait for the green met money to come through as i can't be bothered to transfer such a small amount as i takes an age to fill in the details.

    well done for being able to claim for mileage, it all adds up and despite many at my place thinking i should doing endless mileage for the love of the job, i figure that they don't think any better of me if i do, so now i claim whatever i can legitimately claim. I'm even bad/sad enough to need to write a letter to reclaim tax back on the excess mileage i've done that i've allowance against.

    If you are charged, send a complaint letter to transpenine with proof of the charge that is as a direct result of thier error, and get them to pay it.

    I've had to do it a couple of times, and as long as you can prove that it was their error that caused you to be overdrawn, you shouldn't have a problem in getting them to clear it. Write a firm but sensible letter.....
