    an ebay buyer is taking the ****. i bought a phone cover and it quite clearly wasnt right for the phone so i emailed seller and they agreed to offer me a refund. so i sent it back, tracking says it arrived on the 20th and i still dont have my refund, emailed them on thurs to say tracking said it arrived on monday and no response yet... its only £5 but its the bloody principle of it.
  • Good news, we have definitely got the 0% credit card. I have transferred the 2 balances over and I'm just so pleased we won't have to pay any interest for 2 yrs and . It will definitely be paid off before then.

    Amr I too would be annoyed, they should of refunded you by now.

    Aww I keep looking at the baby bunnies and thinking how cute they are... compared to my 7 month old boy who has suddenly become v territorial and grumpy.

    I've been putting myself under loads of pressure to get the finances sorted and I've come to the conclusion that I do not need that extra stress on top of the other things I have going on.

    I still have 6 months left on my current 0% credit card but have taken out the NatWest 26 month deal, to transfer, set up one single standing order of £150/month to clear it. I keep following and boom and bust cycle and need to break free of it.

    Not been on here for a while as I lost my way a bit with debt busting. Not paid a great deal off in the past few months but I've also not increased my debt which is good!

    New total: £489.56/£2149.66 = 22.8%

    I'd definitely recommend neutering your boy if he's not already! Calms them down massively.

    Because we adopted little Jasper :D we got a free neutering voucher too, which is excellent - saves us the £100 the vets charges us for neutering! :eek:

    I am not sure if he'll bond with my two, my female is quite aggressive and she could smell him earlier and attached my other boy bun. :S both are neutered but hopefully when Jasper's been neutered she won't be as aggressive towards him.

    Could I join this challenge please? I have £3,860 in debt and would love to get it all paid off this year. Going to take some serious economising though! But I'm hopeful I can do it
