    Well update from yours truly again to keep things ticking over

    sold another book overnight with GM. This postal business is rinsing me out. dont know if its really worth the bother now, as it means I come out with about 1.20 a book. Well OK it is worth it, but its galling all the same.

    Paid off 550 of my lloyds overdraft with my A&L overdraft, so Although im not in any less debt from this, at least Im saving the interest costs.

    I had a letter yesterday from my banks solicitirs saying that they will be refunding me my charges! :T but they want me to adhere to confidentiality and to not sue them in the future. However, I need to get some advice on this so posted on CAG.

    Heres hoping that gets resolved soon

    Health wise Im ok, but getting hot & cold again. Im sure it will work itself out soon enough.

    OHs SAR has gone off today, so hopefully that should motivate him somewhat :D

    21.20 paid off b/card today and 45.00 off off egg, so updating my sig now :D

    Wow - how much are you getting back in bank charges Lynz? Or is that covered by the confidentiality clause?

    Well done on still continuing to chip away at your debts!

    yep kinda covered by confidentiality ( i think, dunno they havent really said what they want from me yet, but put it this way, its going to clear my none 0% overdraft, my barclaycard and the remainder of my student loans. I think. PLus change.

    Fishface, tell me about plodding. I know exactly what you mean!

    So glad youre having some good luck for a change Lynz, though I suppose luck doesnt come into it as its your money they took. Well done though.
