    Hi all, I'm still alive.

    Sorry to have been so absent. Its been a whole list of things that have kept me away, but mostly because Tesco Broadband are horrendous.
    I have had a catalogue of problems since the first day with them. i haven't been able to get on the computer much because the internet speed is awfull and then when I tried to switch back to BT, it took me 15 days to get a MAC code out of them to then get "Accidentally" disconnected by them :mad:. I am now in an internet cafe typing this message because I have to wait until the 20th March before BT can get me set up again. Grrrrrr.

    When I am properly online again ,I will post in the correct forum to make sure other know how awful Tesco's customer service is.

    Back on the finance issue - all is ticking on here.
    Had big problems with the new Credit Card as it turns out they will not do a balance transfer to a bank account, even though other cards I have will do it. Grrrr. So, I am gradually paying bills and things with the card, which in turn is taking pressure off the bank account overdraft, so even though its abit slower, I am still achieving the end goal.

    Haven't got time to update my signature, but wanted you to all know I haven't quit and as soon as I get reconnected properly, I will be back pestering you all again.

    Still paying my bills, have nearly paid off my L1ttlewoods account and have just paid the last overdue Council tax payment, which is a relief.

    Hope you are all well, and promise to catch up with your diaries asap.

    Morning Steph,

    Thanks for the update and sorry to hear youve had horrendous trouble with Mr T's broadband!
    If you ever feel like moving from BT again (you might not after this!), we recently moved to sky and I cant fault them.

    Catch up soon xx

    I'm back......Finally:j:j:j:j:j:j.

    Wow its sooooo nice to be back with BT, I did'nt think I would ever say that :o. It was hard to do anything online with the crummy speed Mr T supplied us. If you have to struggle just to load a page, frankly you just give up.

    Speed is really fast with BT, so I am well and truly sticking with them from now on.

    Balanced spreadsheet today for the first time in 10 days :eek:. It was a little scary, and apart from a couple of small purchases I made that I should'nt have done, it is looking ok. Still not 100% out the the dreaded OD but if I stick with you guys now and keep my head down for a couple of months I should get there.

    I am off to check out all your diaries now, I have such alot of reading to do. I might just read the last couple of pages of each diary otherwise I will be here for the rest of the month.

    I hope you are all well and will accept me back with open arms :beer:
