Debt free in ten years-my new, more realistic challenge.

On TCB its called snap and save and on £co its called Clicksnap.

I've also just signed up for Pets @ home VIp card, you dont earn points but you do get discount offers and you can either choose a national or a local charity to earn points from them. Win Win.

Will it work with a blackberry? I have had a look and it says I need to download itunes onto my PC so have started the process on my laptop.

I dont think there is a blackberry app - but when is there ever one for something useful!

I didn't download anything - didn't see anything about Itunes. I just used my scanner to get the jpeg image to upload, or you can use a camera.

Blimey, what have I done?!!

You wouldn't believe I used to be head of an ICT department in a secondary scchool would you?

ETA I should have read all the info on the snap and save instead of scan reading and trying to download an app for a phone I don't have!! More haste less speed maybe :0

I won't swear on here as I am not allowed to but I feel like it this morning.

DS1 said he was going to give us some money for his keep and put it into the account on Thursday. I didn't look as I thought everything was okay with the account.
Today I found he hasn't put any money in and we are £130 over our overdraft limit. I have everything calcuated to the nth degree so this has messed everything up.

He says his laptop kept crashing. he has done this before and we end up with charges. I feel very :mad::mad:

We don't ask for much but I pay his car insurance of £42 per month and he eats here and uses electricity. He is stressed because he is saving up to move to USA and has to apply for visas etc. He shouted and swore at me when I mentioned it this morning.

DS3 is working his socks off to help us. So not all bad.
BTW The cheque from my aunt hasn't cleared yet.

I'm sorry to hear about DS1 messing you about. Maybe you should tell him to pay the fines, he won't do it again then!

please-let-me-be-lucky

If the cheque wasn't banked until Friday, I wouldn't expect it to clear until wed at the earliest if no express clearance charge was paid for it. For many banks it will actually be Thursday as they now take a full 5 working days (they say it's so that you don't spend funds that can then be recalled by the other party, however it's more like them gaining interest on your money for the longest possible time :mad:).

Boo to DS1, stress or no stress. You have enough stress of your own to deal with. I'm sure he will come back with his tail between his legs and apologise though Xx

Boo to DS1 indeed stress or no stress

DS1 was very sorry later and he put the £130 into our bank account. When the charges come through I will mention them again but he really doesn't have anything spare either.

I am going to the hos[ital for a check up today. Just a family history thing so hopefully nothing to worry about. As I will be in the city I will do a top up shop at MrM probably and see if anything I but will give me cashback youarereallhelpingme. I have told my whole family to keep their receipts for me
