  • Although it's not moneysaving have you thought about paying for the lottery by direct debit - saves having to remember to get a ticket!!!

    I do this and the DD is between £16 and £20 per month depending on the number of draws as I buy tickets for Weds and Sat.

    Home sweet home to my new iphone (free upgrade of course ;))

    Nothing much on the debt front in the way of letters........a letter from Wescot re: a Santander loan we are making agreed repayments to direct with Santander !!!!!!?! When we told Santander we were told to ignore it!

    Nothing much else - Littlewoods is almost under £1200 :D now that my £48 charges will have been credited back.

    Also applied online for Capital One card in a bid to start rebuilding my credit history - received the pin number this morning. I aim to make one small purchase each month and repay it in full every month to avoid interest. I hear this is a good way to start building some positive credit history (if used properly of course!!).:rotfl::rotfl:
