    Well phoned CC company last night to find they haven't even sent me my new card yet (2 weeks later) despite telling me on 3 occasions that they had, and that my account is STILL blocked and the block hasn't been removed!!!
    Well spoke to the fraud dept this time and they have released my account and sent a new card, we shall wait and see.
    Been a little naughty and spent £30 on about 8/9 tops on fleabay yesterday. I have been wearing the same clothes for the past 2-3 years and most have holes in now. Normally I would have gone out and spent £200 on clothes, but this way was not only fun (as I didn't know what I would win), but cheaper too. I have a lovely silk top on its way that I won for 99p! Plus there are a few designer numbers in there and a top with Rainbow on yippee. The OH says I have bought "raver" tops and I'm "as far away from a raver as anyone can ever be" haahahahah.

    Hopefully a debt update soon :)

    Bike sponsorship update, target has been met and beaten yippee.
    Shop update, first 3 weeks I've had over 16 orders so going strong :) Soon I'll be able to fund new stock with the orders that are coming in, and will be able to start paying myself back after 6 months hurrah!

    I've been awol lately as been in hospital, had a baby, been busy with newborn. I have paid some of my debt off though!
    #No84 £773/£4000! (19.325%?)
    Ack I'm behind more than I want to be. I must find an extra £229 to catch up. If need be it'll have to come out of my savings. Better to pay the debt, then save.

    Finished painting for the day, just eaten pizza so I'm in a better mood. So, I can declare:

    #032 £2,333 / £4,100.

    Hoping to make a big payment at the end of the month but let's see how it goes.
