    oo thats fab candy - hoping for the same from npower as now transferring! They REFUSED to lower the bill, despite the fact that I live in a 1 bed flat & charged me 52 a month!!
    PLEASE can people send positive vibes for the ring on ebay...its not got a bid yet and finishes in 1 hr 3 mins! Fingers crossed but if it doesnt go I'll relist with slightly later end time...

    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! :D 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!!

    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!!

    mickey mouse - hi, all you need to do for text and smilies and whatnot is press the "go advanced" button, not the "post quick reply button" -you get all the choices of a Word programme there.
