Starting Again

Sounds like you have been productive! I lay on the couch yesterday and felt sorry for myself with a cold instead of ebaying. Will pack the easy stuff and list it in between nightshifts this week. Then will list the rest when I come back in 2 weeks xx

Its Tuesday! Am feeling a bit better today. Have been down.:( I know I have a lot of work to do, but I am sure DD2 will help me.

Today is DH birthday, :bdaycake:hes still alot younger than me but hes a year closer to my age now. Lasagna for tea (his favourite) and I shall get the kids to wrap his gifts and help me tidy when we get home.:laugh:

Have a boot full of stuff to take to the charity shop. Will also be popping to the other house, getting a frozen curry I made a couple of weeks ago for tomorrow night, and also grab a couple of boxes for DD2 to go through and see what she wants to keep / sell / give away. :undecided

I shall do some washing and pop it on the airer, and I will do a bit of ironing too. Just enough to keep us going as I need to list some ebay and do my surveys.:think:

I love my surveys and cant wait for the mullah to roll in...

Child support was paid today, its mostly allocated for council tax and a payment to vodafone, but there is a small amount remaining which Ive split and put against debts.:A

Today was seven days on from the "week to ten days" promise by Lloyds for repayment of the PPI....

no money was in today, so I dont know what my approach should be... should I call them and ask when I can expect the money, or wait the ten days? Trouble is I really need part of the money, to meet some bills. I will manage without it as you know we always do... , but you know, this has been "done and dusted" since the first week of June.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Would appreciate any thoughts or advice on this.

Other than that I am just steady away working hard and making small payments against bills (todays offering was 0.86p against each thing) but at least its something...

Ebay currently stands at £30. Decent enough for now. Have decided that until we have Xmas out of the way, we will be using ebay into the common pot and divvying it up, as the holiday fund is benefitting for the same divvying!

Wednesday tomorrow and no money is due in, (unless Lloyds repays), then the next money is Thursday, and it is the normal child tax credits. This is turning into a long month!

Think I shall get stuff cleared out and decluttered, going to need those ebay pennies!!

Hope everyone has a lovely moneysaving day... I wont have a NSD *again* got to get the husbands birthday cards...

Hiya

Wow you move quick hun! Loving the posts - your busy life sounds like mine so it's nice to hear when other ppl are run off their feet! In a nice way

Hope you aren't feeling down anymore?

I would call them and then make a complaint about the amount of time you have to stay on the phone! I got mine the other day as you know and it was literally the last day they comitted to. As in "sent by xx date" and they sent it on that date. I called them prior to that and they said they are meeting their deadlines (assuming they don't always by that statement) so maybe ask them that.

Well done on getting the others printed - I need to do mine too but I don't think I had PPI on any of them plus I can't remember the account numbers and have destroyed the paperwork since.

Hey dont give up without paperwork---- Martin has a section on it and you can get old paperwork with a subject access request.

Yes have some down days, still not smoking, still trying not to spend money, etc...

Ahhh those are the SAR's then.
Don't they cost though? I'd be worried I'd spent £10 on a few of those only to get nothing back

I would tell them if they dont pay up in the time allocated you will send the baliffs round and charge them for it. Me and mit will do it for fun!!! Funny how they quick enough to take it but not pay it back!!!!!
