    :) right I said this morning that I wasn't doing to much but as ususal have been busy all day, I've done the garden, cleaned out back shed taken rubbish to tip, done all the washing and put it away, have hoover out my car and cooked dinner,, absolutley shattered now, well it's my own fault,

    :mad:On another note whilst I have workng hard to reduce our debts a letter appeared on the mat today from NATWEST CC and to top it all I have kept up to date with all the payments and paid extra to bring it down, only to find in this letter a default note and a charge of £12.00 because of being £1.16 over the top of credit limit to which I had brought right down at the beginning of february and guess what they never told me that an extra payment would have been needed because I WOULD HAVE DONE IT !! bearing in mind that the card has not been used for 6 months because I want to clear it. so again how can it be over limit. :(

    OK got that off my chest (feeling better) :)
