    have tried all this just goes around in circles, but the bonus at the moment is becuase she is a SAHM she cant get any more credit, she has said today she is going to cancel her remaining cataloge so that just leaves her credit card and overdraft which are both currently maxed out anyway so i am getting her closer to having no credit availible,

    next on the list might be to take her credit card balance in my name cut up the card and cancel the account, meaning the ONLY credit she could get (having no income) is her overdraft, but this is a while away yet and much thought required

    Never easy is it? then the T word rears its ugly head...TRUST.

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    afternoon... looks like ive missed the party *sigh*
    Resisted buying an iphone today...was so tempted as I was in the o2 shop with Mum as she was buying a new phone.
    Have had a random payment from CTC today a week after my last one. I know I put in new claim but didn't expect more money for another 3 weeks ish. Hey ho will stick it in the savings account

    Golly you lot have been really busy chatting today. Taken ages to read it all.

    Sally - that's good news about the extra payment. Hopefully it is rightfully yours.
