Update from Lynzpower

Snaggles

Hello Lynzpower! I'm fairly new to posting on here, but have been a lurker for quite some time, and I love reading your posts - even when you're going through the worst times, you always have good advice and friendly words for anyone who needs them and I really admire you for that. I'm sorry I don't have any advice to offer you, being a new moneysaver who REALLY hasn't quite got the hang of it yet but I wanted to tell you I am thinking about you and I hope things start to improve for you very soon. Take care, love Snaggle xxx

Back to business.

We have had some problems with the PC and OH fixed it but deleted my file with all my bank charges stuff in NIGHTMARE!! So today I have to start another file and get cracking with getting my allocation form in.

Second, I have 2 little letters requesting bank charges back. Not a lot but hopefuly they will help . been meaning to do those for a couple of weeks, I MUST get them done by the end of the day.

Im going to transfer my paypal money as well. That should do it for today I think :j

Keep on trucking gang- we will get there in the end :T
