    I just - after near on a year of deliberating - wrote a letter to Capital One asking for fees back on my defaulted old card. Technically about £200 there.

    Money saved 2p. I spent £4.98 on my Gran's present and not the planned fiver :D:D Though with paypal, so old hair straighteners paid for it! I brought lunch from home - a 31p tin of Sainsburys BGTY Spicy Parsnip soup (delicious) and some of my OH's french frie crisps ;)
  • £200 back re bank charges is fantastic - well done!

    Have added your £200 + £0.02 to the September savings log!

    Must try that soup - sounds lovely and healthy.

    Ooh, hang on - they haven't gave me it yet! (though they will, i'm sure - save it for next months log perhaps!).

    I swear by the soup. Spicy lentil and tomato is lovely too. It's sometimes 31p and sometims 35p, no idea why as they never advertise it as a special offer ;)
  • I've edited the main September log - remember to come back next month and tell us about the savings re Capital One.

    Have PM'd you re landlord problems!
