    Yes, a couple of years ago the same thing happened, and it really was a proper struggle to get the money together to repair it. We only have the one car, so it is not even as if we can manage with the second car for a while......but we will get through!

    hi chev - happy new year!

  • Hypno - sorry to hear about the worries over Nana, egg and the car. I hope they get sorted out OK, particularly with Nana.

    Thanks for your reply on the £20K by 2009. I can't quite believe I've saved £7K, but with work so vulnerable right now I'm so grateful for the buffer for 2010. Grateful too for the 'make £10 a day' thread where it seemed I never reached target, when in fact I "earned" about £3K from surveys, scratchcards, cashback, b!ngo, eb@y, music magpie, play.com, amazon etc. selling off "tat"... and I only live in a bedsit! I'd truly recommend everyone try this.

    Thanks too for this and all your previous threads Hypno. I'm truly grateful to you and to all who contribute on the thread - you've all made me laugh which at times is a minor miracle :rotfl:

    Have been on hold to egg for 22 mins so far.......I don't think they want to speak to me :rolleyes:

    hiphouse, I think you have done amazingly well in a difficult year - I am sure 2010 will bring what you wish for, and I agree, the £10 a day challenge is a great motivator!

  • What a cheek....... their errors are ridiculous beyond words, it is not even as if there is a reason they could have made this mistake??? Bizzarre and even more bizarre after they have done this type of thing to you before and apologised and then do it again!!??
  • Does you phone go on loud speaker so you can carry on getting ready or could one of the kids listen out for an answer?

    I'm hopping mad for you too!
