  • Boo to Gumtree buyer:mad:. Better luck next time:beer:

    I hope work is going down OK.

    Just watching French Open on ITV4. We only have Freeview so I don't get to see many matches from anything other than English tournaments(unless Andy gets to a final when terrestrial channels show it). Looks as if they'll be broadcasting the French Open from 9 to 9 every day:j.

    Andy has just won the first three games in the first set. He should be off the court with the win under his belt in no time at this rate:j. I hope you'll be home from work in time to see some of it.

    Managed to watch the last set :). Glad you can watch the tennis - it's always nice when it's on normal channels. Nothing beats Wimbledon (no ad breaks!!).

    So, work over and done with - it was a busy one!! I'm in 12-8 tomorrow. I earned an extra £20.87 today for the Bank Holiday.

    I've also got someone else coming for the same Gumtree item tomorrow morning (albeit at £5 less, so only £20 - better than nothing though). She seems more genuine than the other one anyway.

    Morning :)

    Claimed a £10 Amazon voucher from Superpoints this morning. The Gumtree lady is looking hopeful as she has just text me to let me know she's still coming over. That will push me over the £100 mark for the May challenge.

    I'll also be earning an extra £25.41 from overtime today.

    I filled out a form online earlier to claim back the tax I paid last year. Fingers crossed that will be £370 coming back to me soon.

  • All sounds good, Emz:T

    Always great to get something back from the Taxman:j

  • Mini rant coming up, sorry:o

    Once on DMP, StepChange take care of dealings with creditors and all those scary money-demanding phone calls stop:j. Except for LLoyds who make life as difficult as possible. They seem to need their repayment agreement updating every 6 months and if it isn't they start the phone calls again:mad:. Nothing has changed, they are still getting paid on the due date with the agreed amount. Was having a lovely few days (family over from Canada/watching tennis/just relaxing for once) and the phone was constantly ringing. Recognised the number on the caller-display and ignored it a few times but they then used different numbers and I answered it unaware of who was phoning. StepChange are now dealing with it but my euphoria about being a third of the way through my payment plan has evaporated:(. I thought the sleepless nights and being hounded for money were over but Lloyds keep spoiling things:mad:.

    Sorry, I'm embarrassed now when other people have problems in life far worse than my debt problems (your health issues for example).

    Just switched on TV to watch tennis. they are showing Petra Kvitova's match when David Ferrer is playing on another court! How very dare they? Just not my day today, moan, moan,moan:o

    :mad: to Lloyds. You will soon be rid of them CBC :).

    Ferrer is on Eurosport at the moment. He's doing very well and is already 2 sets up. Have they shown any men's matches on ITV yet? Always seems to be women on there when I turn on.
