    Thankyou Banwa and Hi ! It may take a while to read as I have a tendency to burble and ramble away and the posts get longer and longer and longer ! Dont be surprised if you give up part way through and nod off !!:D

  • Good woman! I shall be expecting a full M&Sresponse tomorrow. I've a case with FOS about them rascals, it's not just any debt, it's a M&S 30% added interest debt, eerrrrrrrr I don't think so!

    Glad you enjoyed the fiery treat. Have you tried the takeaway secret book, lots on here rave about the kebab recipe in there.

    HHx

    Yes Maaam, I shall return tomorrow with a full rundown of M&S conversation.:)

    Sounds like M&S arent your favourite people understandably. I have got such mixed reports on them. I really hope you get somewhere with your FOS complaint. I will be keeping everything crossed for you.

    Nope I have never heard of that book, but I like the sound of it ! Y ou are such a mine of information. I think I am going to get myself a little notebook named Hoplessly Hopefuls Helpful Hints and write them down as you tell me. Then when I have time I can sit down and research them all and put a big tick next to the things I have done ! Thankyou !

    The strange thing is, I really cant remember the last time I ate a kebab, but for months I have been craving one, hopefully now I have had one that will be it for another few years !

    Hi Pinot,

    Just home (and exhausted .... AGAIN!!!) your day sounds eventful. If my legs worked, I'd walk down to the kitchen and fetch you the recipe - I second the take away book - bought if for £2.99 it was a grabbit not that long ago .... haven't bought takeaway since - it really does what it says on the cover - just follow the recipes - dead easy.

    Go you with M&S!! Look forwards to hearing about your success

    I bought it myself at Xmas, haven't tried anything yet but I think I may start with the kebab. Anything else you can suggest?

  • Hi Pinot,

    Wanted to pop in and say 'hi'. I started reading your diary a couple of days ago and am about halfway through but am finding it inspirational. :j You are so positive but still manage to make your posts funny. I laughed so loud when I read about your and DH having to climb over your 7 foot garden fence because you both got locked out of the house, separately on the same day, that my DH wondered what on earth I was reading. :rotfl:

    I'm going to subscribe to your posts and look forward to reading more about your debt-free journey. :beer:

  • Hi pinkpiggy, thankyou for reading. I am glad you are enjoying the diary ! Must admit sometimes I read back and think I must come across of a bit of a loony. Mr Pinot hasnt ready any of it yet even though he is mentioned rather alot ! I think he is waiting until we are finally DF and then settle down to read ! He could be in for a long wait and a very very long read !

    Pinot xx
