    DH home.

    Another big fire at a recycling plant. He's cream crackered.

    Apparently, it wasn't a gas explosion! No gas to the building...they think it is drugs related.

    I have a dilemma. SFE have FINALLY got it in gear, and I have nearly the right money. Now, do I pay off any of my debts or use it to live on, whilst keeping my payments going?
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    I was trying to decide whether I was brave enough to jump on a train one day and surprise a friend but I don't think I have the guts to do it in case she is mortified by a sudden 'ta -daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'!!!! And of course - she could be out!


    i would not mind at all BB :D:rotfl:

    I'm so pathetic. I've just paid £25 for airport parking, plus petrol for while I'm away, instead of £12 for the bus, just so I don't have to wait for 6 hours in the airport for the first bus back.

    I'm also really not liking the new debit Mastercard, I'm having to pay £1.50 charges all over the place, including Paypal which means I can't buy on ebay anymore really. Sorry, rant over.

    Can you not put it through as a normal mastercard/mastercard credit card Ames? I have a mastercard credit card and I have never been charged through paypal for using it :whistle:

    Really annoyed with my bl**dy bank. Went to buy some petrol today & my card got refused (which i couldn`t understand why) so i can home & checked my on line banking & 8 direct debits have been taken out making me go overdrawn & are all dated 4th Jan! Some of them aren`t due to go out until 5th Jan. I don`t get paid until the end of the month either as decembers pay of 4 weeks has somehow got to last me 6 & half bl**dy weeks. How the hell does that work????
    AT LBM 7/1/08 (£24,018.09)- 25/09/11 (£13,032.25) - 26.04.15 - £6,429.70
