    DD2 has been on the rounds of doing 'applicant' open days at the universities she has had offers from - luckily within a stones throw of where DD1 lives so that was handy as DD1 could be her plus 1..............just had a text as she is one way home but one of the other universities has just emailed her to say that there is an open day for her dept ............TOMORROW............ !!!!!!! Cant they get themselves better organised than that!!?? Anyway looks likes its an early start for us tomorrow as its 3 hours across country AND NOT PLANNED FOR IN THE BUDGET :mad:

    Just spent half hour on phone trying to close a CC account that I have not used in years...........they offered me a BT 0% for 14 months and as I need to move some in March I thought 'why not'...............then a came all the faffing round and toing and froing so in the end I just said no thanks I will take my chances else where. No idea if the account has been closed or not :mad: :mad:

    Ugh.

    Hate it when things are inconclusive and/or badly organised. Have so little patience for it these days..(well probably always ;)) but even less so now well into my forties :rotfl: You have my sympathies.

    Hope the trip is worth it though. And re the CC BT next month am sure you'll be fine

    Long day yesterday. ....now paying for it with monster headache brought on by dehydration and will become a migraine if I let it. Could really do without this.

    So glad I am not an undergraduate in these times BTW

    Feeling sorry for myself and want to give in to something carb laden:(

    I am 100 points off a Yoo Gov £50 payout and £1.10 from a £20 payout from another survey site...........funny how the closer you get the fewer surveys become available...........could do with that £70:D
