that sounds a good deal - it was just the one he put me on films and stuff... I will have a look as i'm not that long into the contract unfortunatley but i guess if you don't ask...

Definitely worth asking. On the package I could I bought the odd film for £3.99. Cheaper than the cinema or buying it outright so it's kinda MSE worthy...;)

Be as full on as you need... it's your diary to with it what you wish

I have also lost my weekend to the site, and I am so glad. It's good to be back on track. I am going to start a diary of my own again.

Good luck with the job search

Well I feel sick

Today all went so well...

1. I spoke to santander that were happy for me to manage my own DMP
2. I banked £5 of coppers
3. I worked out I could really cut my food bills
4. I got an agency call me regarding a job I applied for

..... then I came home

I've recieved a court summons for non-payment of council tax today - asking me to attend court 1pm on the 27th September - and the letter is dated 27th September!

I feel sick... I quickly grabbed all my statements and my calculations show that i'm up to date? I recieved a letter asking me to pay £85 and then I could continue my payments but as I had already done this I thought it was a cross over in the post

I've shot a letter to the council and I will call them first thing tomorrow..I really felt good until I go home - I don't know what i'm going to do I don't have £500 or the £45 costs and I'm worried the court will have gone against me because I didn't turn up. If they have done a CCJ thats it I can kiss a new job goodbye in my line of work i'm devistated

Good luck Lou! It sounds like the whole thing is an error.

god I hope so mockingjay i'm so scared

I think it sounds like an error too... try not worry too much (easy for me to say) and get on the phone to them first thing. I'm sorry I have no advice as I have no idea about this kind of thing.

Excellent news about Santander and the agency work!

Keeping everything crossed fo you tomorrow, good luck !!

What happened Lou? Good news I hope!

Hey!!

Thanks for the support guys!

I called the number on the letter.... number out of date! :mad:

Finally cheated the automatted system to actually speak to a real person! and basically the date on the summons was all wrong and she was really off with me about it!! i stayed nice a pie and she the transferred me through to someone in the office..

Basically I am up todate but my payments are due by the 6th of every month...So they issued for late payment not non-payment! my fault I guess I didn't think it mattered what date as long as there was a payment each month so bit silly my end ... they recieved my sept payment on the 26th (pay day) and issued the summons on the 27th! :mad: still we hashed out a payment arrangement for the rest of the year all sorted Thank goodness! and i've reinstated my direct debit I don't ever want to feel like that again!

Lesson learnt! i am sooo relieved

So after that phone call this morning I swung back into action..£110.08 paid off of santander so will up date siggy.. and i'm re-doing my budget spreadsheet to put in the council tax charges as the have charged me a fee

still i'm not going to let i get me down - i faced it, dealt with it and it's sorted!

Next challenge please!
