    OK guys nor doing very much MSE things today but I am trying to rebuild my Credit Report (does that count?). Have had letter from Electoral Role Departent at Local Council to confirm that I have been living at my current address for 9 years and not the 1 year that Equifax reckon and also had letter back from Egg to state that they have now marked an old account as 'Settled' with the CRA.

    Hope everyone has a really good day. See you all for drinks later x

    Pay in my compensation cheque
    list more items on ebay / selling communities
    Take cash to dentist instead of paying % charge for using card machine

    Buy cheap booze & soft drinks in asda before going to anne summers party tonight instead of going to the expensive off license round the corner.

    Chasing up Barclays regarding my offer of F& F settlement now that the cheque has arrived and im waiting for it to clear.

    Chasing Barclaycard up about statements for reclaiming charges.

    Not much for me except resisting temptation!

    * Done piggy comps *fingers crossed*

    Got dentist and doctors (prescription) and need petrol but will use some Tesco club card points to get £12.50 worth instead of £10.

    Spending no money - can't do better than that :D
    No longer visiting these forums.
  • paid my credit card bills online (finally got round to sorting it out) and saved the cost of 2 stamps. Checked my balance BEFORE I go shopping to stop me getting carried away. I am going to Boots with my £10 pb voucher to see how much I can get for nothing. And am picking my sister up to go with me and taking her for bogof lunch at wetherspoons, ( they sent me a load of vouchers after doing a survey) Actually after seeing that I am already overdrawn to the tune of 1/3 of my wages paid today I have crossed off loads of things from the shopping list, mostly that DD and DS put on there.

    Pigsback + Quidco.

    I've taken supper out of the freezer instead of buying something.

    I've got a pile of books in front of me which are going onto Amazon. One advantage of being on maternity leave is that you can get to the post office easily :-)

    Hi All,

    Well I am a day late but yesterday I cancelled a mobile phone insurance I didn't even realise I still had for £7.99 a month - don't even have the phone anymore! D'oh!

    However, today is a big day for me - it is my Quit Day to stop smoking.

    £2.72 saved so far and 19 hrs in! Feeling peachy.
