Well done on youdigger bargains Sam-mumof4, sounds like you did really well, I have seen that range and it is gorgeous
I'm having a really good day today. Went into town early to do some errands, went to collect my Boots orders today (have been putting it off tbh) and decided to have a quick nosey at the 75% sale (nothing worth buying) and almost forgot to look at the toy clearance, had a look and found a Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom Magical Castle playset marked 75% off to £7.50!! Bought with Boots points straight away, must have been a return so I am super chuffed! Then popped over to collect my orders and they brought up an extra box, turns out my S&G Tote Bag which got lost in transit eventually arrived, I already had a refund and now I have the set too! :j
I also qualified for a 10k point survey on 2luner and I redeemed on bp too.
Must be my super lucky day today
Hope everyone is ok and well done everyone on your January totals, simply amazing! Will catch up on everyones polls and opinions later tonight when I can finally relax :

If your bill's right but you can't pay it, it's best to contact the Tax Office that sent you the request for payment right away.
Alternatively you can ring the Payment Helpline. 0161 931 9070, they had an 0845 number, but I looked up the saynoto0870 number site and found that 01 number
Each case is looked at individually but normally:
you'll be expected to pay in one lump straight away if you can
if you can't pay at once you might be allowed extra time to pay - either in one lump or by instalments.
Got that from the site, its good that you are not burying your head in the sand, not like my ex. But he had 16grand of unpaid bills and they gave him time to pay. So you will be fineSaving 2.00 coinsGrocerys set to 40.00 pwBeing Thrifty0 -

Give them a call in the morning, don't worry they will allow you to pay it off monthly, this happens quite often especially in the financial crisis the country has been in they will be used to this, they would rather get monthly payments than to pressure you for money you don't have. I hope things get better for you soon hun {{hugs}}Comping wishlist for 2017

Thanks for your support guys, I have jut made a payment towards it on my cc so at least it shows we are trying, and he has made payments along the way so that is just a % of the total outstanding.
Not sure how he managed to get into this situation though, its never happened before. If all the outstanding invoices were paid he would be able to cover it all 4x over so I am going to play debt collector tomorrow, I think he is too soft on people!Aiming to completely pay off the credit card in 2012!0 -
Kec - I'm sorry OH is still in difficulties. I have a friend who has to play debt collector to her OH too. It's not nice and it puts stress on everyone. I hope things get sorted soon.
Savvy - what a day! I love it that you got a freebie tote bag. I makes up for the time you spent online when you could have been in bed. I love bargains. There's no toy clearance section in our Boots. It's not fair!!! LOL
Susan - You can't play on auto and leave it. Which is a shame.
Sam - well done on all those stars on woo hoo. I've got 4 gold, 38 silver and 133 bronze now.
Esmer - Thanks so much for for helping Kec out - It's lovely to see us all like part of a big family.
I've been a good girl again and listed a few thing on ebay this afternoon. I've done what surveys I had - got screened out of 99% though. Grrr
Just popping over to do my posts on BP now. See you there.I :heartpuls M.S.E.Mortgage Free 18/01/10 13 years and 8 months early on a 20 year mortgage!
