    Hi OM,

    Pass some chocolate onto me please I love Thorntons Chocolate. Have you ever tried their bar called Chocolate fudge pieces? mmmmmmm
    The only problem with that is there is about 550 calories in one bar, and a couple of days before Christmas, I ate 3 bars in a row:naughty:

    1 hour to go!!

    Free dinner on Friday! Gapbuster phoned me this morning and offered me a mystery shop, never had them call me before so I was a bit surprised, I usually pick up the jobs online. Not allowed to say the company, but it is evaluating a home delivery service of takeaway food!! I've done this company before, easy to do......mmmmmmmmmm........free dinner.........

    It is a fast food takeaway company GTD, I'm not allowed to say which company but I order what I have to and then have the money refunded (to a certain limit). when I logged on to the site to pick up the details, there was another one for the same company on the 2 March so I've grabbed that as well!!!

    If you go over to the Shopping board and look on the Online vouchers board, there are Asda and Tesco free delivery codes. Most are over £50 spends, but there are occasionally some others. Had my shoppping delivered just now and delivery was free with a code. Bit of a pain that the bleach had leaked a bit though..........

    Well, naughty Abbey and naughty Citi!!

    Dear District Judge.....................

    I haven't bothered about the Abbey lack of bundles, they are paying up at the last minute, but it has just given me great pleasure to email the District Judge to let him know Citi haven't submitted a bundle, haven't submitted a defence even though another Judge told them to and they haven't submitted a break down of how their charges are made up. I've asked the Judge to consider striking out their statement of case and that they are repeatedly wasting court time. All this for £375 plus costs!!

    Seen a nice Vectra,1997, 2 litre CDX but they are slated something chronic on the car forums...

  • I had my fingers crossed ;)

    I read somewhere that the defendant is sometimes allowed some 'leeway' on the deadlines (even though they are huge multinational corporations), so I'll keep them crossed. As you know though they always pay - but why oh why do they have to string it out!?

    Also - trying not to think of take-away food... yum...

    Claim 1 from the Abbey is £700 including the interest and costs

    Claim 2 from the Abbey is £4,100 including the interest and costs

    Citicards is £530 including etc etc

    There is also daily interest I can claim which all in comes to about £120 on top.

    Some people are asking the Abbey for 'preparation time' on their claims at £9.25 per hour.......and Abbey are paying up no hassle!!
