    Well I've had a really great birthday and it will be continuing through the weekend...!

    I bought a lovely jacket today and a lovely black dress at the Trafford Centre and luckily my family have given me enough money for my birthday to pay for them!

    Is anyone else struggling loading the forum tonight and trying to do anything on it??? xxx

    Too true, but I don't recall ever seeing that I couldn't withdraw silly amounts. I've been withdrawing less than £6, even less than £2 with no sign of any fees. I'm most confused, I thought everyone had it like that.
    I do have a micropayments account, so all payments under £10 work out cheaper 5p + 20% :D instead of 20p + 5%


    I haven't been charged for small withdrawals but I wish I'd known about the micropayments before I'd sold all my stuff!

    Made a couple of small payments today but will wait for a more impressive dent in the debt before updating.

    Tonight me and the girls have finally sorted our mini hol at the end of the month (been trying to book for months) so we are going to Hoseas0ns on south coast with our own hot tub and lodge! Not too expensive either so it's all good :)

  • I love the look of HoseasONs we look at going there in march, its definitely cheaper than CenParcs, we ended up booking a cottage through Cottages4u. You'll have to tell me how your trip was!

    CentP wanted £36 for 3 hours entry to their spa!! :eek::eek: Hos has a free sauna and jacuzzi! Ok so it might not be as plush as CP but I'm sure it will still be good fun!

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I still managed an NSD yesterday by rushing home after work to eat my forgotten lunch for dinner, then rushing straight out again :j
    I did get really hungry tho after only having my snacks for lunch! The lengths I will go to for an NSD!! This thread has really changed me! :D

    P.S. I have a travelcard so the extra journeys didn't cost any extra, tho it was an almost 2 hour round trip!
