Well I must have spoken too soon, only got to do one my survey uk survey. Never mind. Booked another 3 bank shifts for the next off duty
One more contracted hours nightshift tonight then 2 nights bank = £400 after tax approx (probably a little more).
Waiting patiently to hear just HOW SORRY Gemma @ Littlewoods is for my inconvenience, pretty sure she will sort it out and hopefully by the end of tomorrow my account will be £48 lighter:T.
Not sure I can manage a NSD today as the weather is supposed to be lovely again in London, and I'd like to get up early to sunbathe in the garden or park before work. Otherwise all these nights I will end up looking like a vampire:eek:. Park in the sun = ice cream = not a no spend day:p
Plan one for tomorrow instead.LBM 30/6/9 Unsecured debts [STRIKE]£25,323.48[/STRIKE] £0 :T Debt free

Couldn't haul my !!! out of bed to go to the park, so no money spent so far! Dinner is in the fridge
Really fancy some diet coke for work though..........
Missed a call from Gemma at Littlewoods today damn it! Must make an attempt to call her back before heading to bed in the morning after yet another nightshift. Will let you all know if I have any joy.
Have a couple of surveys in my inbox for valued opinions so hoping to complete them in work time.LBM 30/6/9 Unsecured debts [STRIKE]£25,323.48[/STRIKE] £0 :T Debt free

Not a no spend day - spent £2.50 on diet coke
Joined 1 debt in 100 days to repay the £500 still owed to my Father in Law since he lent me my deposit for moving house in London in October last year. Here's hoping - it will be the first challenge I've completed if successful!!

Just spoke to Gemma at Littlewoods (Chief Exec's office), she has listened to the call at the time of arranging my repayment plan, and agrees that the date to make the payments by was not made clear enough and therefore has removed £48 in charges from my account today. I will receive a personal letter of apology from the Chief Exec of Finance at Littlewoods and the Chief Exec to whom I addressed my complaint

Running out of things to do on tonight's night shift at this rate:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Needless to say the washing machine guy came 20 minutes early and I was late getting out of work because it was mental, and missed the bloody guy! Phoned the letting agent to complain as he left no way to contact him, and they will send someone out tomorrow morning:mad:
