  • 66 Pages! Wowser! I've only had chance to read the first page and the past three so far so whatever happened in the middle is all a surprise to me :)

    It looks like you've been doing really well though! Ebay is a great place to pick up otherwise expensive clothes, especially for kids. Their friends won't know the difference and they can still feel like they are fitting in without spending a fortune :) All my reasonably labelled items come from either Ebay or TK Maxx. I'm not sure I've ever paid full price for something expensive :j

    Pinot, lurker here...
    Your bank isn't b**clays, is it? Only I've had no end of trouble with logging on etc for a few weeks now! I think it is ever since they changed their website. I tried to transfer money and pay a bill yesterday - both failed!

    Hope your back improves quickly.

    Internet banking drives me bonkers sometimes. Failing to log in, chucking you out mid-transaction, not showing purchases straight away. The list goes on.

    Looking forward to seeing the ninja costume, does it come with a shell back to protect your back? It would make sense, if not look a little unusual.

    Busy cooking at the moment, will be back at a less critical time!

    And if you have kept receipts for the prescriptions you already have you can claim the money back!

    Gotta be worth doing even if only for a month until you're sorted out with the nhs? xx

    Sorry I missed this one earlier. I am sure I had a pre paid card years ago but it was about £20 something I thought. I have spent just under £60 this month alone, but I dont think I have ever been given a receipt and didnt think to ask. I will have to look into this. Thankyou xx
