    Bet it's fascinating. Enjoy :D

    :( just had a call - the course has been cancelled for tomorrow, apparently there was only me due to be on it so I've got to wait another month :( not sure whether to keep the day off or to go in at lunch for a bit of extra cash, anyone know the weather forecast for Cornwall tomorrow?

    AW!!!:( What a shame, you were so looking forward to it....

    just checked the weather forecast on line..at first it said Sunny 10 degrees Friday and sunny minus 3 on Saturday...Thought, that's odd... it was Cornwall in Canada!!!

    Finally got the right country, which helps and it's RAIN...... go earn some money and treat yourself to a chink! Not sure I've quite got this budgeting lark yet...:rotfl:

    Think I'd rather be in Canada if its raining in this Cornwall!!

    Ooo no, mustn't have a chink....must be good.....:eek:

    We could all join the course to make up the numbers we'll do it via video link! :)

    :rotfl: :rotfl: Great idea, although we don't have such sophistomacated doofers to do that in deepest, darkest Cornywall :rotfl:

    Probably do in Canada though.....maybe I should ask the CAB for an overseas placement :D

    I"m not entirely sure what type of Co-op account we have, just that it doesn't have an overdraft!

    It used to be our main account (and had an overdraft), but we fell out with them a couple of years ago and transferred away, and they just slowly reduced the o/d to 0. Now whenever I talk to them they offer to upgrade to a £200 one - no thanks!

  • Hi all; just joined and have a DMP with CCCS who have been brilliant! unfortunately Lloyds haven't been; won't accept letters or payments from CCCS, and now are phoning me all the time!! arghhh!! I thought that once the DMP had been running for a while (6 months) it would all be smooth running!!!

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Interesting development today.

    Equifax alert stating a default has been added to my file, which is fine i dont mind at all, but the company name is a CLUB 24 LTD loan?

    The account number ends in 8842, which is the same as my Northern Rock loan, Northern Rock have accepted.

    The Northern Rock loan is still on my credit report as 'Arrangement To Pay', yet i have had this alert?

    Have they passed it on? Aren't they supposed to tell me?
