    Christmas shopping is going well CBM, think all that I will have to get are lights and a tree, nearly done all the presents as well, should have them finished within next 2 weeks.
    Am stuck on what to get my sister.

    Seems nearest lidl is definately about 15 miles away :p oh well.

    Lemon tree- you've got plenty of time to train him:D

    i agree with you both i've got a lifetime to train him in, and he's starting from a good base position. I even got him to check his bank account online yesterday without too much help from me. :)

    And if all else fails a big stick round the back of the head will work wonders lol.

    Anyway:mad::mad::mad::mad: WF took their usual payment, all well and good, so I decided to ask for a balance............they HAD agreed to stop the interest for a year till I got this business up and running.....but nope had they hell... and they won't freeze it unless I pay my full amount:mad::mad: am a tad peeved to say the least

    Oh I am going to fight: also checked my credit reposrt and they are now saying that I am 4 monthd behind.....even though I am up to date and have paid on time,......:mad: what a set of ************ oooo so many words I could have put there:D

    Anyway, on the plus side a client of mine finally paid me so I can now get certain things for the business that I desperatley need.
    On the down side, I need to do my personal tax return ummmmmmm am soooo looking forward to that.

    Has everyone done their christmas shopping?

  • They are cheeky whotsits :mad: I hope you get somewhere with them correcting the duff info they hold.

    Christmas shopping - hmm - I've ordered 4 pens, 3 bags, 2 rubber stamps, 2 post it notes, 1 set of note cards, 2 notepads, 4 tshirts, 2 mugs and some postcards - all individualised - from Vistaprint at a cost of about £25 for stockings and bits and pieces for pressies for people (several orders to make the most of the deals). And done a Boots.com shop on a glitch day. That's a start but by no means 'done' :rotfl:. How are you doing?

    Am finihsed!!!:j All I need to do is get a tree and lights, wrap everything/send cards. I really really hate shopping. And I might treat myself to a book for christmas.
    Have you both got any further with yours?

    Have been battling with WF: they are swaering blind that the are not allowed to freeze interest:rotfl:yeah right, 'it's not legal' said the idiot on then phone, I've explained that if they are going to be a right rpyal pain in the bum, then I will stop paying what I am and they will just get their £1 a month and they can take me to court/debt collectors......now they have said they will go away and try and sort something otu...........I await this with bated breath ( and I will get it in writing).
    And on the very plus side of things I have anice new man in my life, maybe next year will be better.

    good news about the nice new man.

    I didn't get my nephews as i couldn't remember the password on an account and despite my asking for it to be sent i haven't received that either. grrr
    still got the same ones left outstanding, but i have done a bit of wrapping and will tackle some more this weekend. Hoping to get one in the post on Friday on my day off.
