    please to learn that thing are going well, again. What about asking the bank to take the charge off for the£2.57. Do not ask, do not get.

    And if they say no, you could join the reclaim forum?

    thanks ras i was going to do it last time but didnt :o dont know if i will do it now, hopefully they wont charge :rolleyes:

    anyways bad news this end :( my mobile i brought from ebay (for £10) was dropped down the stairs, you now cant here people in the ear piece :( so i now either have a phone that wont accept calls or one you cant hear anyone in :rotfl: dont know what to do though, i have my spending money so i guess i will have to find a cheap one on ebay again :(
  • oh but a postive note... i have saved £322.24 each month so in two months i have saved £644.48 :j more than my monthy target of £300
  • a small update from me... lots of people have been asking for an update so here it is :j I may now upset some of you but i am sorry... so

    Savings ~ :j now have £900 and i started in april so i think thats very good. Next month i wont be depositing anything though (see below) but i am proud to see that balance

    Driving ~ test in a few thursdays time, however my driving instuctor is now not teaching in my area anymore and is focusing himself back in wales (his home town) so if i fail (which i hope i wont) my first practical i will need to find another driving school and instructor no 7 however mum has agreed for me to be put on her insurance and me to 'learn' and take my second test in her car, if the worst comes to the worst

    College ~ i am going, the cheque is written and it will be sent on payday next month... hence why i wont save much next month

    Weight/pcos ~ thanks to lenny and the huge team of girlys on the other thread i have finally beaten this, i have lost in the region of 10lbs so far (sig says different as boots scales lied). Its been hard but i will get there and thanks to all the support i feel it coming sooner than i imagine... however the down side is i will need to purchase new clothes (and quite fast) already dropped a dress size :o

    Moving out/buying a car ~ still looking on renting sites however the price has just gone up... the same flat i first mentioned to you has now gone up and most are now sitting at £600 a month... i cant afford that ~ buying a car, umm still umming and ahhhing, i guess i cant say i will or will not till i pass my test, in some ways i want one but in others i dont... mainly seeing my savings grow has put me off buying one, but we shall see :D

    soa ~
    £100.00 ~ mum
    £65.00 ~ bt
    £11.00 ~ house insurance
    £3.28 ~ bike insurance
    £48.00 ~ bus card/s
    £150.00 ~ driving
    £80.00 ~ me money
    £9.50 ~ weight management online ~ new

    £6.00 ~ charity ~ scrapped
    £18.00 ~ xmas savings ~ now all added together and i keep a tally seperatly


    total ~ £466.78 ~ the remainder of my wages all go into savings :j

    thanks all once again for being a great support network :grinheart
