  • Ah sod it, got all impatient to make a dint and paid off my Next account out of my 'made'. Think I may change the name of 'made' to 'free money', I think it makes more sense.

    Well dine for the marathon Eb*y stint. Yes it is time consuming but once you have a template or 2 or use Turbolister it does get much quicker :) I have had a few good sales this week but did send a pair of trousers out that becasue I went with the free p&p I dont think I made anything - wont make that mistake again :doh::rotfl:

  • Hellooooo, tomorrow will definitely be a nsd, dinners all done and chilling in the fridge til tomorrow (made cheese and bacon loaded skins to use up the last of the spuds, yummy)

    I'm going to post my first mse rant (soz) I received a letter on Friday informing me my car insurance was to be cancelled on the 29th because previous insurer had failed to provide proof of my ncd. The letter was dated the 22nd and posted 2nd class so it was late Fri when I got home that I had any knowledge of this and rang them straight away. Lines were busy but eventually someone answered and took my number for a call back. Fri - nothing, Sat - nothing, Sun - didnt expect them to ring. FF Monday, Bank Holiday Monday! given the date of the cancellation and the date it was sent and the bh you would have thought they would have at least sent it 1st class (btw i'm aware im rambling now) so yesterday after work I rang them again, they took my details and said would ring back, 1 hr later still no ring back, I ring again to be told the person dealing with it had infact got in touch with previous insurers and all was fine however since the insurance had already been cancelled I would have to ring back today to set it back up again! I had to call them to find this out, the reason no call back? the guy's shift had ended by the time he came off the phone!! I was outraged honestly.

    I have gone with a different company, had to get cover for today so I could drop my daughter off and get to work (cant bus, 2 different directions and time span to do it in is impossible) it has cost me a first payment of £75 and I feel really cross because I have already done the first higher payment thing with the other one, grrrrr. Anyway as a result I have decided that the bank account i have with the same company is going too after I withdraw my wages on Friday.

    Glad thats off my chest. Have £11.06 left out of my grocery budget going to put that in my made and go for £100 again in September (hope it will be less though, freezer is full) Off to update sig and do pud, back later probably :hello:
