    Ok here's a silly question, how can I tell if the eBay bidder has paid ? So that I know to send the item away ( wont be posted till Monday anyway)

    The DVD sold for £19 which is extraordinary as far as I'm concerned but hey all money into the accounts :)

    I've noticed banks have no loyalty to me ... So I like to return the favour :)
    Well put :):)

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I did that one day spent claiming that Martin promotes a few years ago. I was claiming Mortgage Exit Fees back. I was having a bit of banter with the guy on the phone, him telling me his kids were going to be on walnuts and tangerines that Christmas because so many of us were claiming back. I said "Well if you lot didn't take what wasn't yours in the first place we wouldn't have to claim it back".
    He agreed.

    Nowt wrong with walnuts and tangerines. Very healthy?


    We used to be thrilled to bits to receive walnuts and tangerines in a sweaty ( urgh,) stocking. :rotfl:



    Why were presents so appealing in a sweaty stocking?


    They had a penchance all of their own. :D



    The rest of the presents came in a pillowcase, ( always laundered.)


    I wonder where that tradition came from?

    he he he Butti, these bankers really must be panicking with all the consumers that are learning their tricks and catching them out, dont think i will ever get fully in front of them, but every little victory i score is one they dont :)

    last ngiht shift tonight then so far i am off till sunday, but i am hoping to do friday night shift so that i am one shift closer to my 45 hours extra per month, i currently have 24.5 hours of overtime for the month so if i do friday night then i will have 10 hours left to find and that would suit me :)
