    set upa payment to my new cc
    it never got there!
    so am in default
    now on phone to HBOS :rolleyes:


    Its funny cos Ive today received a letter from my landlord saying that rent due on the 28th Nov hasnt been paid and I am a month in arrears. The money left my account on 25th November and has never come back tome, so we now dont know where that money is..... :confused:

    Whats worse is as it has taken them a month to notice, the payment of the 25th Dec, left my account on the 29th....so I dont know if they will get that payment either! :rolleyes:

    Anyway, more bits and bobs done....more carp decluttered, post dealt with, snowflakes removed from patio windows, pea and ham soup on the stove, food bag packed to go to my uncles.... what else?

    Washing machine on and bag or recycling collected from around the house to be put out. Ive taken down all the cards and stuff except the tree.

    Not done well at all I'm afraid. However will soldier on as my usual response is to give up but I know the bedroom will take weeks so instead of giving up altogether I will just continue with the rest of the house. I did declutter 2 magazines from the floor. Sheet and pillowcases just into the washer. Now to look at Thurs. In my defence for Wed I was at work then went to friends for xmas get together and didn't get home till midnight so the opportunity to do more was missing. However no work today so must get stuck in.
