Really happy today as I can see some of my hard work paid off with this thread!
I have received 2 letters today, one for me and one for my partner. Mine is from Avon who I had two settled defaults with on my credit file. They have agreed to delete the two defaults to tidy my credit file up
The letter to my partner is from Barclays with all the details, amounts etc of his default and which debt collection agency it has been passed to so I´ve sent them an email to finally start paying this off.
Can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel with our debts and credit files.

Thanks Fairyclicks, I did try that and that's where it came up with my car could be one of three silvers, and to find the code stamped under the bonnet. This sounds like a boy job to me, not least because the car is far too big for me to me able to see something on the underside of the bonnet without a ladder!
1. Sort out make up bag
2. Wrap all ebay/risi parcels
3. Reply to ebay questions
4. List 20 items on ebay
5. Contact Office about dodgy sandals
6. Write vodafone complaint email
7. Sort out DHs ebay email filters
8. Contact Fat Face ask about jumper replacement
9. Find out how much Medicash optical allowance I have left for the year
10. Book courier
Today could go either way, I tend to struggle to focus when I'm in and out the house, and today I've been to the hygenist, and this afternoon I have the midwife. But DH is out all evening so I can spend a bit longer getting it all done.
Tuesday's list went a bit awol as my visit to the midwife resulted in her sending me to the hospital day assessment unit, who after 5 hours of monitoring admitted me to hospital. I was only let out last night on the strict instruction I rest and keep my feet up. I'm trying really hard, but I don't find sitting still easy. Maybe I just need to find a good book.
Today's list is all stationary really:
1. Sort out make up bag
2. Write note to doctor/call doctors
3. Write OU letter
4. Find receipes for some batch cooked meals
5. Contact Office about dodgy sandals
6. Write vodafone complaint email
7. Sort out DHs ebay email filters
8. Contact Fat Face ask about jumper replacement
9. Find out how much Medicash optical allowance I have left for the year
10. Fill out medicash form to send offDebt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Thanks so much for all your messages - It's been a long day but the botox went really well and Xan seems to be almost back to normal! The 5am get up is getting to me now so think it is going to be an early night for us, before writing a housework based weekend list tomorrow - looks like the tazmanian devil has been through it!
Ella - Great Result!
Dinah - Try and keep those feet up! I was the same with Xan, in and out so I know its hard, but will be worth it in the end x
