    I have run out of letters to write ..........

    Just a couple of debts to address, but they are all not valid SOA's and I think I'll give myself a couple of weeks off and try to get rid of some of the smaller debts :D

    Waiting for the postman:whistle:.

    Just received a reply to my email from Littlewoods saying "it is not possible to change your statement date or payment date".?????? !!!!!!?! I have responded by stating that this was never a request I have made, and asking that they refer my email to someone who will read my actual query and send an appropriate response.:wall:

    Just redeemed a £25 John Lewis voucher from MySurvey (old lightspeed) :D

    Planning to buy Alan's Auntie (who helps us out with childcare and does overnight stays on a weekly basis while I am in London!), a Tassimo for Xmas - hoping to pay for the majority of it with vouchers;)

    Just 38 points on Globaltestmarket until I can redeem for cash - anyone any recollection of how much 1000 points redeem for as cash?

    Good deed for the day done - took my Mother in Law for her shopping. I only spent £11 on a birthday card and a dvd as a gift for a birthday party my son has tomorrow :D

    Good news for my hubby he now has a permanent van and diesel fuel card from his employer - which saves us loads!!! Last month we only put £20 diesel in our car. I don't want to get rid of our car because if i get a job back at home likelihood is I will have a lengthy commute. Never mind, its a fairly new Honda Civic with very low road tax costs and running costs.

    Good news and bad news (but bad news with a plan - always the best kind of bad news)

    1. Just found the new Tassimo on Amazon for only £62.50 inc free shipping - its usually £100 or so in John Lewis, Argos etc. They have 7 left so will keep an eye on it and nab one next week when my bank money is paid as the first Xmas present of the year. Now the £25 John Lewis voucher can go towards something else :D

    2. Just had a reply from Littlewoods refusing to refund the charges - my plan.....remember my contact in the Chief Exec's office who sorted out my account originally when they wouldn't accept reduced payments......well she is just about to receive another email..............

    I will, of course, keep you informed ;)

    OMG! I cannot find her email address in my email sent items. I am going to have to trawl all the way through this thread to find it (I'm sure I named and shamed my contacts!):mad:

    Time to pour a glass of wine........
