Oops slipped onto page four - every time it does that I feel I should be more earnest about the debt busting! Anyway so far squashed 2 frogs this morning ( think they will pop up gain but at least for the moment they are subdued) and just about to do 16 mile round trip to post them and 2 parcels from Eb*y sales - one of which turned up here yesterday - I had asked a friend to put it which she did but the labels where put on return address side of parcel:mad: OH accepted parcel and signed for it and was about to 'have a go' about BUYING more stuff on Eb*y when I pointed out the problem :mad: :mad: So sent grovelling email to buyer and it will have to go today first class
At least the team won. My team at moment:) Dont think they have a feline in Hades a chanceBe the change you want to see -with apologies to Gandhi

Sunday morning weigh in on the ELMM diet 14 st 3 lbs - hoping to be under 14 for Christams so should do it - I dont beat myself up about it all
We are going to run out of money this month and I can see CC coming into use before next payday but have decided will pay off the whole amount if that is indeed the case. I did a T*sco shop early hours Saturday morning and really thought about what I was buyng I did get a couple of BOGOFs to put away for Christmas ( we are quite disciplined and are not tempted - so much so I found a tin of shortbread biscuits in shed when we were packing for our camping holiday this year - made nice addition to camp rations!)I also bought more 'value items' than usual and the total was still over £80:eek: More eating out of freezer for next couple of weeks I think.
Havent done much on Eb*y front liked I hoped to - but that gives me a week off packing sales - just a couple of items finishing today. Once I have done a Flylady tidy again will put some thought into what to sell - people are beginning to think about Christmas
Also need to get that darn snowball thing into action..............
I am having a bit of a spat with S*nt*nd*r too - threatening debt recovery for a sum under £100 which I am disputing ( long story) I have sent a complaint to the Financial Ombudsmen Service but I may just bite the bullet and pay it just to get them off my back - think that is what they hope - just wear you down and then you will cave in:mad::mad:
You know what, I HATE BANKS - with a passionBe the change you want to see -with apologies to Gandhi

Tried to pay S*nt*nd*r today - an amount under £100 that I am disputing but TBH I CBA with the hassle of it anymore - went into branch in the small town where I work and guess what they said I couldnt pay it because I had defaulted on overdraft - so I asked how do I pay the outstanding amount then - the 12 year old behind the counter said ( just repeated really) I couldnt pay because I had defaulted.......... !!!!!!?? So I suggested to her in that case I wasnt going to pay at all and she said I had to so I pushed money back over counter and she said she couldnt accept it. I give up.:mad:
So glad I had already written to FOSBe the change you want to see -with apologies to Gandhi

What a total piece of absolute nonsense with Santander. That would drive me insane too. :mad: Where on earth is the logic?
Hang in there Igamogam. At least you had the £100 to attempt to pay it.If you know you have enough, you're rich.0 -

So I decided it had to go to garage. They informed OH that one headlamp needs adjusting - what? The one they adjusted to get through MOT 2 months ago?? OH didnt challenge it :mad::mad:. What is it with men.
