    What fantastic news Greenbee...:j:j:j

    I've been to town to do a couple of messages. So thats my running about done for today. One loan company has gotten back to us and have issued a refund, should be back in hubby's account in 2 weeks. Still another 2 to sort but i will get the money back....:rotfl:
    Hubby seems in a very quiet mood so i'll try and keep him busy and see how he goes, Jojo i fear you might be right.:(

    seafarers_wife he only has one loan but i can sort it. I wish i could block them it would make my life abit easier plus take hubby away from the fake promises of great loans that help your credit rating.

    poohbear59 i do feel so mean but i know i manage money better plus i think he's fine with me taking over as it means he doesn't have to worry but he will go on and on when he wants something.

    Now i'm gonna go get on with the list, most was done on saturday so shouldn't take me too long. :D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Hello Ladies and gents,
    I have been absent AWOL for a while but I am now back. I have a new man in my life who is absolutely wonderful and treats me like a princess.

    Level One for me this week.

    great news greenbee I am very pleased for you

    and good news about the refunds for you vanilla it sounds like it would be best if he had no access to cards etc - would it be worth changing his account into a savings account because then it wouldnt allow direct debits to be set up? and you could set up email rules that anything with 'loan' in the title or sender or main body is put in the trash?
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    been to town - did everything on my list then was heading back to the Vallimobile when I remembered I need vacuum bags so back I went...

    Saw a p/t vacancy which MIGHT do for DS so went in to ask about it. 4 hours Saturday or Sunday alternate weeks - chances are he won't want the Sunday though. (Football clash) Shame DD isn't 16 - would be perfect for her...

    Bloke who won 2 items last Monday hasn't been in touch so I have blocked him from future purchases.
