    Wahoo! Found a missing form that I needed to apply for a £75 refund, went and put that in and if (?!) successful I will get a cheque through the post. Think it should be ok, its for fees for a college course I joined in jan...had to pay full fees even though I qualified for concession as form MIA...

    But anyway :j

    Good evening everyone. I am back home after almost a week in hospital for a c section. my baby daughter Kenzie was born on the 15th. I am now settled in my own bed, which feels great even although still in a lot of pain and discomfort.

    My list for tonight:

    Get some rest DONE
    Dinner from stores DONE
    Catch up with emails DONE
    Update signature on here DONE
    Catch up with freebies thread
    Organise a small list for each day of this week. DONE
    Get DH to sort freeview in the bedroom DONE

    I think that gives me enough to do on my first night back. Hope everyone is well.
    Aiming to get Debt Free.

    Hi all!

    Had a busy day so let myself down slightly with not being as tight on the pennies!

    Nevertheless:

    • Free tea/coffee at work
    • Sent out Giffgaff SIMs
    • Checked referrals on websites
    • Bought a few bits and bobs on eBay (airsoft BBs for £3 a bag instead of the usual £15 that the site likes to charge!)
    • Stayed in and caught up on TV

    Not really :( ex OH and i have decided to not talk for a bit though, which is really hard but is probably for the best. I'll text him on his birthday next month and see if he wants to be in touch again. I miss him terribly but realize its only fair to give him the space he needs to move on if he wants to.

    Where is your holiday, sneaky one?? how exciting!

    Ah I see, a bit of space is always good to decide what you truly want, I hope you guys can still be friends at least though, if that's what you want!

    We're off to Marrakech :D Never been anywhere like it before so I'm looking forward to the adventure!

    NSD = No spend day

    QUOTE]


    Cool, I guessed it might be that but thought I'd better ask so I don't look like a doofus! Thankyou! I am definitely having an NSD today!

    And yes Npower are total gits!! I have changed over now thankfully but still waiting to hear about the premiums!

    :(

    Just keep at it, I think they thrive on the fact lots of people must give up as it's too much hassle!

    I know, I took it out with Orange in November last year after losing my 3g iphone (i only had a month left so it wasnt a big deal) and because i only wanted an 18 month contract, that was free to get the phone this was the best tariff they could offer me! Ive seen loads of £30 a month contracts now so im not sure if i'll be able to reduce it but im going to try at least.

    Definitely try, I will keep my fingers crossed for you! You've had it over 6 months so hopefully they will :)
