    i am sitting here in tears. I went on a Cambridge training course last week to be a counsellor and have just failed my test. apparently cause i got 70% i cant retake for 6 months. Such a shame as I had people waiting to be my customers and had hope for a new income from it. I feel so stupid cause i got some simple answers slightly wrong. What with this and the fight with my sister I feel really down. I also have a couple of people including my building society breathing down my neck about money.
    So sorry to hear that :(

    Morning all. Thanks to the OP I won a cushelle koala last night. And woke up this morning to find my £20 Quidco bonus had come through. Should be in my Paypal in three days *crosses fingers* :)

    Tucked up in bed again today. Not going to get any work done, just too ill.
    Hope you feel better soon :A

    Easiest is to use an unlocked phone just to get the code and put that code in your smartphone.



    Always difficult to know what to do. Depends on your previous claim history too. Too many claims isn't good.

    Also the moral dilemma that if you have insurance and choose not to claim, is it right to deprive your child of the money they would have got back if you had claimed?

    That was my first claim in 10 years and I lost ALL my no claims bonus. Just think it might be worth paying the money yourself as my premiums have now doubled!

    Likely mentioned way back and I missed it but Muller number of Muller's not showing in the offer, I have done a shop v sbobs and waiting for result. Hopefully it will compare 68p against sbobs. I missed the bru!! Gutted but while doing a sbobs list spotted the Muller so tried it instead.

    Msl is much better, I couldn't get it on my old smartphone but now have it on my new one :j
  • More or less caught up - but I seem to have an urgent need to go to M7S and get some nice food :D
