    Hello friend x

    Glad you survived the visit and of course continue to be your same wonderful self reducing the debt fabulously. Re claims, I would write another letter asking for more pennies, I did and it worked. (Martin has a template I believe)

    Free lisiting noted.............
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Nothing much to report on the debt busting paid £2.19 to tesco cc to round down, just a little annoying habit i have but i do like even numbers.
    I seem to have a stinking cold which has appeared from nowhere and i just want to be lazy and eat comfort food.
    I know i should be writing letters and ebaying but im going to start a list instead and work at it along with the housework this weekend i may even get DH and DS to help out :rotfl:
    Going to have to budget hard over the next 2 weeks as overspent so much last week. I do have a little in my savings now but i really dont want to touch it.
    Hope some money will arrive in my account tomorrow as would like to get cc down a bit more.

    :( Feeling pants today sat through a 5 hour meeting at work,then a meeting with boss who said I will get my review meeting next week and we will talk about a payrise. I was due a rise this month after my 3 month review so lets hope thats not my annual payrise.
    Should be in bed but need to make so extra pennies so I have set myself the challenge of 100 items on ebay this weekend. Firstly it will clear a great pile of stuff and secondly I need to make more money.
    I wasnt planning on going out and this will save me hitting the shops, already listed 10 items.
    Anyone else want to join me ?
    Counted penny jar and have £45 bagged ready for the bank then to pay of virgin.
    Santander sent a cheque as goodwill for £24 not £300 that i requested should I not bank the cheque until FSO have looked into this or should I bank it anyway. I dont want them to think i have accepted this as full refund.
