I just received my gas bill today and it was in credit, so I have rang them up and they have said I can have a rebate of £237.05:D and better than that they are reducing ,y payments from £72 to £33 a month I am so pleased so that is nearly 25% towards my target for bronze:T
Thanks for reminding me!British Gas (electric) were being a pain and not letting me get a refund until after my July payment (last week) had gone through. Just phoned and I should have £70.93 winging its way to me some century or other :T (supposedly 2 weeks but getting my gas refund took about 3 months last time!! :eek: )
Thanks candy blue!!Mortgage free as of 12/08/20!

I'm sure its just the excitment of the first week but....
I've had £88.16 from matched betting on sunday ( the end of the golf)
£53.46 from another bookie that hit my bank account yesterday.
£45 that my eldest girls owed me for a camp they are going on.
£85 from another bookie that hit my bank account this morning....
Total so far: £271.62.
Have still got quidco pending and mystery shops to pay up.
Also have some other matched bets pending ( more golf!) and more to lay.
This really focuses the mind, thanks guys!!0 -
