  • Well on the moneysaving front have received money for other job, they have not paid all that they owed me and pension that i didn't sign up for has gone out. It is still a decent amount, but will have to wait until term starts to sort out. Other pay tomorrow as well. Oh and i am on basic rate tax for this one -which i understand i will be unless i split my tax code but still may be able to claim back later on as well- i could perhaps use it as a savings pot. So now have to download forms to claim pension monies back-all quickly sorted though.

    Can't complain though as it is all extra money that i wouldn't have had and is my good fortune to have earned it when it would otherwise been a dry period of work. So very positive. :)

    Thats the best way of looking at it BOB.

    I'm not sure if they do a 'I'm 49 y'know' App;)

    Spent a happy 1/2 hour raging at people on the phone just now....mainly at Insurance Co, I changed my car and they told me that their Admin Charge wouldnt be DD'd until after the 2nd and, Hey Presto!' they tried today! Consequently I get charged £20 by BSoc!

    When I phoned p*llock at Insurance he said that they would 'waive the £20 Admin Fee for the Unpaid DD'....I should bloody coco!...They will now be NOT charging that AND waiving the Original £25 Fee and this months £16.14 Premium. Bloody cheek of some people.

    ...and because I was in a bad mood I e-mailed Tesco about their rotten peaches and broccoli that goes yellow too quick.....£10 voucher on the way. Result! I love complaining, me.:D

    Next!
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    ....one-way ticket to Portugal booked !

    I get paid fortnightly in one job and at the end of the month in the other job- so i have effectively three wage days and expenses inbetween. So really can't complain there can i?:D:D:D

    As the saying goes....'its the squeaky door that gets the oil'.;)

    Need to book a Holiday. Found a nice campsite at North Mortehoe, Devon. Only 500metres from a dog-freindly beach too and even less to the Pub and Shop so Vera can have a rest after taking us there.
