    Good afternoon you beautiful people :)

    Nothing to report....just counting the days till CCCS pay creditors, 10 days to go! :eek:

    Bit annoyed I spent a small fortune (well fortune for a DFW anyway) in Boots today, seem to have run out of everything at once - shampoo, conditioner, razors, face wash etc. etc. although lots of offers on and I'm not brand loyal any more! :p

    I did need to buy a new hairbrush...seriously, how many types of hairbrushes do we need !!!!!!!! I just wanted a cheapo hairbrush that saves me from looking like I've been pulled through a bush backwards!! I stood there for about 10 mins trying to decide!

    Anyway, that was the highlight on my day, only 8 mins left of work :j hope you all have a lovely evening x

    Well first thing I get from them is a nice letter saying they have accepted my Pay Plan offer for a year, so long as I keep up the payments, don't use the card etc, and have frozen the interest:j:j:j Forgot to add that they also put that letters would still arrive asking for payment and other threatening things, but I could ignore them. So at least they know the right hand does not know what the left is doing.

    Hope Barclaycard are as nice:( nothing from them yet.

    Re eating your way through a freezer to save money, that so rang a bell:D

    I also love tedsd signature.

    My book reading is Tess Gerritsen at the moment. 20 past midnight before I put the book down last night. Might not start the next one tonight.

    Must be an RBS generated letter - as I had the same letter yesterday from Tesco who are underwritten by RBS. They are still playing silly beggars with HB accounts though - accepted mine no problems, his they are insisting he sign templates and sends them back - told them not a chance CCCS have already sent them DMP aggreement with his signature on it, plus he's in Afghanistan for 5 months - so they have got a long wait.

    Barclaycard accepted but didn't cut interest, so sent a begging letter.
    Egg are ignoring us, though they did refund some money into my and HB's CC account not sure what for - not phoning them though. Will write to them again next week if not heard anything.

    My Tesco loan accepted but front loaded all the interest not heard anything about HB loan - we are getting there though slowly but surely - and no phone calls - deleted all our phone numbers before setting up the DMP.

    Hi VicB, a year ago I'd have just bought one of each :rotfl:

    Hi Gibbs, good news re M&S and thanks re the sig!:D

    ps Are Tess Gerritsen thrillers? haven't read any... Just finished the Reluctant Fundamentalist and ordered The Moth from the library!!!!

    Hurray for ordering the book from the library...wonder if we can order adult books on the children's accounts to avoid paying the 60p ordering fee?! Is that just tight?
    Me too with the brushes:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi all just a quickie as I'm at work but couldn't wait to tell u! Hubbie just phoned to say an email had came in from co-op to say my online application had been accepted and the paperwork was in the post.......how good is that they had said it could take up to 5 days to get a decision so am delighted it was so quick, I can really get the ball moving now, will go on to cccs 2morrow and start the whole process.
