Hi Taloola78, nice to hear from you. We've mentioned meetings, what about goals or using this as a place to have a rant about things? On the goals issue, my friends are in a similar financial situation to myself so we all set a maximum limit to what we were allowed to spend on christmas presents (£10). So far I've come in under budget in all of them (hampers seem a popular theme this year ), just got one left to buy and thats for a male friend (we're actually related as well). Anyone got any ideas? Looked about on the other threads but haven't seen anything. Don't want to go for the predictable gift set (even though it would be £2.99 from semi-chem)

If anyone has got any other goals/ideas/rants they have lets hear them please.

You could get 3 x £3 CD's in Fopp - if ther is one near you. They are currently doing a 5 DVD boxed set (with a free model of Gollum) of the Twin Towers for £8 - which seems a bargain

hey i used to live in irvine went to the old irvine royal academy not ravenspark (which i hear is now called irvine royal )

Yeah Ravespark has been renamed Irvine Royal for about 10 years or more now. The old Irvine Royal Academy building was knocked down some time ago and is now a private housing estate (Academy Gardens) and is also home to the newly built police station!

I'm in Edinburgh as well

I think meeting up with others from the board is a great idea and I would definately be up for a meet up if it was arranged.

Of course. The more the merrier. How is everyone today? I had a complete panic on way to work. Got text message from egg saying login to my account immediately to check an urgent message!!!!!!

Finally got to work and logged into Egg site only to find they are offering me a repayment holiday since its christmas (1, 2 or 3 months repayment break). Got my blood pressure up for nothing :mad:

Question is they are saying they'll freeze interest during my repayment break. Worth it? Let me know what you think or if any of you have used this service from them.

IM fine thanks Unix, and yourself.
Just busy at work lol, Ooo and waiting for my letter back from Bank Of Scotland with all the charges. Still no sign.

Any of you had bank charges back?

Yeah i would say it is worth it and focus on getting something else cleared off. Usually egg are fine and you can even double that up to 6 months at the frozen rate too.

depends how you feel though. Just means another few months till clear date

Been quite lucky with bank charges really. The bank coughed up after I phoned them up and got shirty with them.


Having a bad morning, pc 'blue screened' and I lost my work. Not happy

Hope everyone is doing ok.

which bank was it Unixgirl? I am with B of S and judging by the amount of charges I have had over the years I will put them out of business if they pay it back. Last month OH didn't BACS his contribution in time and 3 bounced direct debits amounting to £57 attracted £90 charges? :mad: bloody chairman of the bank should wear a mask!:rotfl:
