hahahaha that is brilliant pinks
reading that just cheered me right up
why did i need cheering up - banks are @**holes thats why! I phoned to make the payment of my settlement figure and clear my last debt only to find the "direct number" i was given was not in fact the right department to authorise the settlement and the £915 i have just paid has been taken off my bill instead of clearing it. I have been trying to get it sorted since first thing this morning but the people i was able to talk to before in order to arrange the settlement figure in the first place do not talk to customers on the phone!!!!!!! uuuuummmm who was i talking to before then you ******* a flipin alien???? aaaahhhhhhhhh
So i am still not debt free and feel like stabbing anyone from Barclays with my pencil!!! :mad::mad::mad:
please excuse my rant - i am sure you all understand my need to vent!!

I know exactly where you're coming from, for some reason the last payment is always the one that causes the most stress. I'm sure you'll get it sorted outSurely adding the payment will clear your balance anyway? or are you accumulating interest daily?

LOL clean your desk :P glad it made you laugh :rotfl:
The settlement figure i got is less than the debt - the debt is actually £1500 odds but they agreed i could pay £915 and they would wipe out the remainder, so now i technically still owe them £585 :eek::eek:
Oooh 89p from qmeehad to reinstall the app - was wondering why i wasn't getting any searches!

So had spent the last 6 weeks comparing tarriffs and deals and methods of obtaining a new model without being sucked into a long term contract that will bleed my account dry at £50pcm + a fair whack up front. The best I could do is £99 upfront + £46pcm for 24 months, total due = £1203:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: NO! NO! NO! that's disgusting!!!
I did this last year - buying a Sim free one (in America, so I got about £50 off anyway) and a £10 a month Sim card - it worked out something like £300 cheaper over two years! I'm going to get a 5s at Florida Mall later this month. I don't care - being able to transfer photos from my phone to iPad helps me earn a lot on eBay, so I can justify itI like to make money
Best wins: £3,000 luxury holiday, holiday in Cornwall, £250 Murad Skincare hamper, angle grinder
:j Make £10 a day challenger - it pays for trips to Florida! :j

Hi all, a bit of a bad start for me. Had a manic weekend and didn't even get the chance to do Nectar adpoints this week so since the 1st Nov I have only managed to gain 87p in Nectar points but I have spent loads of time signing up for some new survey sites (Now at £2.30) and Swagbucks which is now at 97 points.Oh I do want to live in Countryside.......with the kids, pets and LOTS of books.........
