IA's 'Does my bum look big in this Debt?' Diary

The date for the car loan, where you can switch lenders with no fees, is coming up soon too. Have you thought about seeing if you can move to a lower interest loan, since your finances are in a better state then last year.

If it makes you feel any better about the PS3 I-A, I have just bought a Quinny Zapp for my youngest, and we have 2 buggies already. I just really wanted one! Anyway, to make up for it I am selling the other buggies and am making £63 on some stuff on ebay at the moment. Oh and I did get the Quinny inc. delivery for £109 instead of £150 so I got a bargain - and they have good resale value. and it didn't go on the credit card so that was good.

GAAAAH I just wrote a big long update and it got deleted :mad: stupid internet.

Anyway... this jist of what I put..

Ofsted just called. Basically they said if I want to ask them to reconsider I've got to write to their medical people as the decision isn't actually Ofsted's. Apparently they are going to review it in 3 months anyway so I can either write or wait. Probably just going to wait as I can see them changing their minds... ah well. Plus it's better to be safe than sorry in case it comes back.

Car tax is bought and paid for I LOVE the online service it's so much easier than going to a post office... Anyway the cars legal for another 6 months and we've got nothing else to pay out for (except a service for the car but that can wait) meaning our official debt savings are now £87.44 :T

Plus we've got £26.66 tracked in quidco... Can't wait til insurance renewal time!

Ste's setanta card for the freeview box has arrived today, just in time for wednesday's lads night! He can't wait! lol

Men eh?

don't mention car insurance and quidco! I had a look for swiftcover.com while I was doing ours the other day and it said no matches found. I went ahead with swiftcover anyway coz they're cheapest, only to find yesterday they are listed as switcover! So we missed out on £45 cashback! I'm seriously annoyed!

Right 10 items listed on ebay all finishing saturday!! if anyone has got any good luck ebay dust I'd appreciate it right now! lol1

MrsS - what a nightmare!!!!!!!!!

mrsspendalot

Good luck with ebay - I listed 21 items of old toys and clothes and I am making £70+ at the moment with 2 hours to go. You can have my ebay selling dust with pleasure after I have finished

immoral_angeluk

ooh fingers crossed for you!

When your car inurance is due for renewal please make sure you check prices elsewhere too not just on Quidco. I absolutely love QUidco but my car insurance was over £100 cheaper with M&S than the best quote from a Quidco insurer, so even with the cashback I was better off not using quidco
House contents insurance was another matter and Barclays ended up paying me to insure my syuff for a year

mrsspendalot

me too - I got my house insurance through Lloyds TSB for £65 for the year, but cashback of £120 !!
