Just a thought, you may be able to get the garage fee down a little if you find out the price and then ask 'how much for cash'?

The telescope hasn't been delivered to the other person yet and parcelforce say I've got to pay to have the recollected and redelivered and then put in a claim to see if I can get my money back!!!
No news from the car either.. just when I thought the week couldn't get any worse.....
Is it their fault? Citi link once managed to deliver a cello to the person who'd bought our bike and vice versa. In adddition they charged £110 to deliver the bike:eek: because it was volumetric pricing ( I didn't read the small print), but because they delivered it to the wrong address ( their fault) we got double the delivery cost back. The nice guy on the other end of the phone was trying to shut me up for whinging about the price, then I got his drift! Bless him:j

Listen chick, Stop being so hard on yourself.... Give yourself a big break. Look on the positive side of things. You at least have the money to pay for the car repair and it could have been a lot worse.
Whatever happens you will be debt free by the end of the year and you can start off next year with a lighter heart and a heavier purse. I know you are really eager to be debt free but don't put yourself under TOO much pressure. Don't forget you are not long off the tablets and you seem so determined that I don't want you to have a breakdown when you finally become debt free! which is a distinct possibility when you are as determined as you are, sometimes concentrating so hard on one thing is not good for you.
Did you find childcare for tomorrow, I really do hope so as I think you would be great in Argos and you need to get out a bit more:rotfl:

God what a week. It seems that before parcelforce delivered the other parcel someone twigged as it's not on bournemouth and headed in the right direction instead of being opposite end of the south coast. :mad: So fingers crossed they deliver that to the right person they I've just got to sort out with the guy to have the wrong parcel picked up and redelivered... :wall:
Apparently we should hear about the car before 2.... fingers crossed.. we really need some good luck this week....Total 'Failed Business' Debt £29,043
