Thats another £124.28 paid off for my car via dd.......................at least something is going right just now

Ordered new blinds for my flat 2 large windows and 1 small window was quoted £230 for them which i thot was ok, wen for a wander and came acroiss a blind shop in amongst house, gave them my measurements and they came in at £165 :eek: so I've saved myself £65 so quite chuffed but they are a necessity

off to update my ticker x

Good going on finding a better price for your blinds, thats my thinking now - don't buy anything until I've looked around and tried to get a better price

abba1772

I always do tend to look about but they were the only blind shop in my town til i went for a wander so defo chuffed

so blooming annoyed....went to pay off my vodaphone contract only to be told it'll cost me £75 cancellation charge plus one month fee of £30 so financially speaking it ain't worth me paying it off early :mad:

anyway currently on the phone waitig to pay of my half of the tax credits overpayment from 2009 been on hold for 10 mins and 41 seconds so far grrrrrrrrrrr.

but other than that i'm quite organised today, went to Iceland and stocked up the food cupboards fridge and freezer for £35 :T got it delivered, sorted out my linen cupboard and have put some towels and sheets in a black bag ready for the charity shop.

My daughter has sorted out her old barbie dolls and she wants me to sell them so she can put money towards the caravan holiday fund bless her x

have got all my paperwork ready for car tax, as well as my tokens for the Sun £9.50 caravan offer so at least with that paid it'll be peace of mind just need to wait for confirmation of holiday dates lol

still holding on this tax credit helpline, i think they keep you on hold to get as much money off you as they can so they can pay for tax credit lol

choogirl

Gosh busy day for you!

Bless your DD for thinking of selling her Barbie dolls to help pay for your holiday, little ones are so sweet.

Hope you got your tax credit payment sorted out. xx

she doesn't play with them anymore so she asked if she could sell them and put the money towards the spending money for our wee holiday x x x

just had a clearout of the games and dvds and put them on facebook just now and see what shifts. have already sold a wee pile of barbie clothes for £3 plus postage x every penny helps x
