Stay positive, you will find that money from somewhere to clear Shapely and if you don't manage it by the 10th April I'm sure you will do it by the end of the month xLBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

I hope so Woowoo, I've just checked the Shapely balance (again) in the hope that they had refunded the £48 but nothing yet
I have sold another 2 books on Amazon today and paid the cheque in from OH so hopefully over the next few days I can start to make some additional payments. I hate sitting around not being able to do anything.12/04/2019

Have just checked my Amazon balance and there's another £7 there so I've initiated a transfer into my account. That'll be another small amount off the Shapely. I seem to be transferring money but it's taking so long to hit my account. I know it's because of the Bank Holiday but I just want to be making some extra payments. It's so frustrating waiting12/04/2019

Big crisis this morning, my petrol light has been on since Monday and I don't have money for Petrol
Was hoping that some of the transers that I've initiated would have come through by now so that I could at least have put £10 petrol in to tide me over until OH's cheque clears but no luck. I know that there's not enough petrol n the car to get me to work and home again so I think I'm going to have to wake the kids and see what money they've got. It's not looking good though.

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

Yes, had to borrow £10 from good old mum
On the plus side though I've sold a book on Amazon today for £16. Am well chuffed with that and it'll be another £16 off Shapely. They are taking ages answering my query about getting the charges back though. Not very happy about that.

I've just checked my Shapely balance but no deduction has been made for the charges. I don't think they are even going to consider it. On a lighter note however I am currently waiting for £53 from Amazon and Paypal, so as soon as that hits the bank account it'll be bouncing back out again. Once the cheque clears of OH I'll also pay a bit off using that. Come on Amazon and PayPal, give me my money.....12/04/2019
