    Hi wondered if anyone can help? I got some vouchers for hmv for xmas and haven't had chance to use them yet now I have just heard that they have gone into administration andthey are not accepting the vouchersorgift cards can they do this legally?? I feel like just walking in the shop getting what I want for the value of the voucher then walking out again!!! Very frustrating!!!!

    It's absolutely legal I'm afraid Sarah though I know masses of people must still be hanging onto vouchers they had from Xmas. There are loads of posts on here about HMV and gift vouchers - some helpful, some not. Don't chuck it away or anything yet incase something occurs and you actually can use it at some point.

    There's a Q&A re HMV on here too by the MSE team which has lots of useful info: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/shopping/2013/01/hmv-to-go-into-administration-your-rights

    Not impressed with Pl@y.com :mad: I ordered the Shred DVD if you remember before my Birthday, this morning realised I hadn't received it, looked on there and it is out of stock :mad: I'm sure it was in stock when I ordered!!

    Also £gg wrote back and I didn't have PPI on that card. Bum.

    I actually did look on utube though and did level1 of the Shred on that so all was not lost. Now not sure whether to buy it...Mr S has it for £6.99 and a box set of 4 of hers for £16.99 which seems like a good deal but I probably just want one to be getting on with :eek:

    Well I suppose you could look on the bright side in that you haven't half killed yourself doing the shred DVD. Look on it as a birthday treat :rotfl:

    I sold a pair of shoes on fleabay yesterday for £15 incl P&P, then when packaging, I realised that I drive past the buyers house every day. I dropped them off today & offered to reduce the postage & she wouldn't let me. So I now have £15 in my purse :D:D

    <says in a very small voice> They actually cost £16 in the N*xt sale & I only wore them once. So guess where the £15 is going :(
    10lb to lose & keep off in 20204.5lb/10lb:rotfl:
  • How is it only the 15th? How?

    My professional subscription has come off my credit card today, so I'm £217.50 more in debt. I'll get the money back through expenses next month, so I won't count it in my debt total, that would just depress me.

    I've got a tight chest today, and told my paranoid OH today, who suddenly proclaimed I have mould spores on my lungs, and must get myself to A&E immediately :rotfl: I think it's either the cold, or because the house is damp. I need to get some pennies together for a dehumidifier - I've not lived in a house yet where I couldn't have used one!

    so agree :mad::mad:

    spent more thna i would have liked on shopping, but it was a top up shop and cost £24.99. (budget each week is £50) :T

    just upgraded our love film subscription (i know, i know) so that's an extra £5. however i'm counteracting with this a £13 drop in our contents insurance so i'm convincing myself it's OK... lol
