Been grocery shopping and getting some bits for DS birthday. He is 2 next weekend.
I have lots and lots of Buzz lightyear stuff, or Bedond as he calls him.
He should be delighted.
Husband bought a reconditioned kindle from argos returns, clearance bargains, for 53 pounds.
Very mse.
So we have tons of groceries and im going to tesco wine online now, as theres a 50% sale, via quidco of course, and ordering some wine for our stockpile!
Should keep us going.Trying to shift that debt!0 -
DD2 is at her dads this weekend and he turned up for her at ten to four. Annoying as hes meant to be here at 4.30 to 5, and because he was out on the razz decided without consultation to just turn up.
So we pulled up at the house and she quickly got ready, raced out forgetting her phone.
i get a text from him she forgot phone but doesnt need it, so I ring her and discover he doesnt want her texting me while shes with him, ANNOYED as I encourage her to contact him.
I took the blighter to her anyway she has texted me, but I am livid.
I shall get the solicitors onto him. He has to allow her to contact me as I am the resident parent.
He can huff all he wants, but I am not having it.
Wine is OPEN xTrying to shift that debt!0 -
You tell him hun. Why would he mot want her to be able to contact you? They just dont get it.
Drink the wine you will feel better xxxx

I think going to a solicitor may just stop your ex's game playing. I am in a similar situation in that I am separated from my husband but need to step out of the semi civilized comfort zone we have maintained and finally get him to commit to reasonable request regarding access to son4.0

Men :mad: don't get me started :rotfl:. Kick his butt.
JB your OH probably got letters from Barclaycard telling him about interest increase. The letters then give you the choice to stay on current interest and suspend the account but obviously he has continued using it and not taken that option. Get him to call them and see if they can reduce the interest and suspend his account whilst it is being paid off. This might not be the case but that's what happened to me with 2 CC accounts. Hope that helps xx5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60
Currently CC £23,674.36 /£14,895.41/£14315.42
Mortgage £28,214.65/ £26,254.71/ £25,746.43
By end 2020 I want CC at £ 19,000.00.
By end 2021 I want CC at £10,000.000 -
Yes, under the terms of the banking code they need to notify I think its 28 days before a proposed rate increase.
However, all is not lost, if he has had the card for a while, he could ask for a better interest rate, worth a shot.
Or could he transfer to a better rate card? I know theres not alot of deals about but its an idea.
Anyway, sorry about the lack of logging on, I have been busy getting DS some shoes, doing a load of ironing and general palaver the last couple of days.
Ebay sales are at 6 quid for 2 items sold, and the current listings are at 237 pounds.
Had a negative feedback they didnt even contact us. I wouldnt care, I sold 2 boys tops, very good used condition I said, only wear fading from normal washing and wearing and stressed they were second hand. They were fab tops.
However apparently according to the buyer they were only fit for the bin.
If you want brand new, buy brand new. But these were cracking tops. Honestly.!
Todays plan, get DS dressed, hes still in jamas. Haha.
Then watch football and as my team won again yesterday I am well chuffed.
MSE wise, a couple of surveys, some listings in turbolister and maybe packaging the stuff which is paid for.
I shall also have words with the ex. I miss knowing my Rach is ok.
Have a lovely sunday all xxTrying to shift that debt!0
