    morning guys....

    well, well...Barclays finally credited my account with 700.00 shiny pound coins this lovely morning!

    I would love to have had this money all for me, but I've already been a very good girl and transferred the whole lot to my credit card!

    That's almost halved my credit card!

    WOO HOO!!!!!!

    Congrats for getting money off Barclays!

    I know spending it on debts is a bit dull, but think of the improvement in your debt free date! I would love Lloyds to settle my case for some of the 480 outstanding. Any of it back is a huge bonus!

    Wahoo! Nearly a grand paid of in a month :eek: That is fantastic! I know that a lot of its bank charges but :T yay!!!!

    I have been fobbed off by Lloyds telling me they are waiting for the results of a court case. So I think I am in limbo!:rolleyes:

    Oh well! On the negative side, I had an unexpected bill for 65 for ground rent which thankfully I have the money for and it could be a lot worse, but there is nothing I can do so out comes the cheque book. Still its Friday and its gloriously sunny and the weekend isnt far off!

    well, despite getting the run around and having to pay ground rent, you really are shineyhappy!!!!

    thanks for the encouragement... it really helps to have someone saying 'wahoo' or 'tut tut tut' every so often!

    enjoy the weekend!

  • Hi there,

    I haven't disappeared, just had a LOT going on...!

    I have new totals which are great, but haven't updated my signature yet.
    I'm going to spend a little while working out what I now owe, my payback plan and new budget and will post back soon.
    I think I owe something like 1675 now! and that's just what I owe my folks!
    yay me!
    :D
