Hi Sarah,Well Done on winning the Debt Dieter money. It is well deserved as you are an inspiration to everyone! I can see that Citi is going to be a 0 balance very soon. Have been offline for a while so have been catching up. Good to hear the car is ok & ofsted are a bunch of nutters!Best Wishes x

Morning IA

I was just thinking the other day that you'll soon be debt free.
Keep strong and keep going - you're probably closer than you think. Have you got a debt free date in mind? :rolleyes: What about having it all gone by say, your next wedding anniversary or Christmas 2008 - what a celebration that would be!

At that time I think we should rename you ................................ Impossible Achieved! :j

Hmmmm how odd.. have had a direct debit go out of the bills account that I wasn't expecting for £19.98.... :think:
I know every direct debit that goes out to the penny so no idea what this is! Plus it won't tell me until tomorrow! Stupid internet banking.... :rolleyes:

Probably to b&gger up your budget?

Might be like TV license, some channels are and have to pay full subscribtion for part months so better to sign up on 4th rather than 24th of months?

Maybe a sign up fee or have to pay x months in advance, some do this and advertise "no contract"?

I haven't a clue. But I saw someone had put their credit card in an ice-cream box and filled it with water and frozen it so it couldn't be used... I was thinking if you could find a big enough box that might work for ste around the time they launch the PS4 :rotfl: Stick him on ice until the advertising dies down

lol I'll remember that! Luckily he cut it up into many many pieces once the MOT was out of the way and we knew we weren't going to be stung with a big bill..

That would just be typical of setanta... funnily enough Ste's written a letter today and put the card in to send back to them to cancel it and get a full refund... have had nothing but crap off them and spent ages on 08712 numbers only for it to not work at all!! :mad: Stupid thing.

Hi IA I think we had a similar thing when we subscribed to Top up tv, They took 2 payments at the beginning but we were told that if we cancelled at any time we would get the extra payment back. No idea why they had to take 2, it's our money after all!!!
