Gemmzie's DFW Diary

Gemmzie

Oh pants,

My chosen uniform went £9 over my limit which isn't allowed so I had to pay £11.25 for the extra top

However, am sorted for the next twelve weeks now. So, am putting a strangle on myself - no more clothes / shoes etc unless they are necessary.
Then CB goes straight to credit card

Oh, also got a quote for this year's car insurance (due end of October) and it's £200 less than last year.

Just need to find £460 quid by then :eek: - get £50 back from PO and another £16.50 from Quidco so only spending out £393.50

Brother has spent £40 on a second hand phone - beaten to hell, piece of junk. Around £30 on ebay :rolleyes:

And that person who's £13k in debt at two months of being 18 - I need a simple loan of £8k which I can more than afford the monthly repayments on and know I'll be refused because of low income and this person has NO income


:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

And calm...

Not really DFW...well slightly... but I got my AS results today

D in Law, B in English Lit/Lang and Psychology and an A in Film Studies

:j :j

So, DFW bit... only two re-takes (to get Psychology to an A) so £28 to spend out in September. No Film or English re-takes, woohoo

Snaggles

Well done on your results, they're really good!

Gemmzie

Thanks

Has anyone got any experience of haggling with CC companies? 0% period is ending in October (mum's card, my debt) but I know neither of us will get a new card, so is it worth phoning the current other companies that she has empty cards with and asking if they'll do a BT offer?

Gemmzie

*bump*

Bad news today - microwave died, so father has once again, stuck it on CC which he refuses to move to my low BT card because "the interest isn't that much" :mad: Men! :rolleyes:

Emmzi

aww Gemmzie!

If only you were up north.. I have spare microwave in the attic(stopped using it years ago as I suspect they are powered by dark spirits..)

Promise you're using it for old style cooking and not ready meals??

Gemmzie

Oh gawd, yes. It's a microwave/grill/oven (that's Daddy dearest for you :rolleyes:)

But yes, I cook everything from stratch Am especially fond of ... "hmm whats in the cupboard that I can throw in this saucepan with a tin of tomatoes/yogurt"

Any tips on post #27?
