    £22 to Lloyds and £1 sent to the loan to check that the standing order is working properly ready for when the rest of the money from my brother comes through :)

    Definitely - feels like I've been arguing with the CC for ages, will be nice to move on and do battle with a different debt :D

    Hey Becs,

    Just dropped in for a quick catch up as it is deathly quiet here at work today! Did I miss the move to 40%, I am sure it was 38 or 39 last time I looked so mega well done to you :j

    Sounds like the electric is a nightmare, if you don't get a decent reply I would take it up with the utilities ombudsmen - I know there is one! They really take the biscuit the lot of them :mad:

    Well done on your first gumtree listing. I keep putting off doing some ebaying but once I start I actually get in the swing of things so must force myself to soon.

    Thanks Jody and Mrs B :) Have only just hit 40% - it looks like being Oct at the lastest for 50%, am looking forward to that as it should be the downhill slide from there :)

    Definitely will be going to Ofgem or whoever if the meter accuracy people don't come back with a satisfactory answer.

    Our boiler is also now broken (I was not the most cheerful of people last night after a freezing cold shower!) and the agency are not being fast. What are we paying £750 a month for?! So annoying that nothing ever seems to get done without a fight :mad:

    I now have 3 Gumtree items listed (will also try ebay when it is free listing) so feeling a bit more motivated now that I'be got the ball rolling :)
