I can't believe the problems you've had with M&S - I'd want a full refund and then some after all this nonsense. hope it gets sorted soon.

I've been a good bunny and got 3 things listed on ebay so far
I've got so much stuff that is better suited for a car boot sale though, I can't wait for the better weather then I can crack on with those at weekends and in the holidays !!

A bit of a late night post from me tonight ... I went for a lovely walk with a friend in the forest this afternoon and then we went back to her house for dinner and had a really girlie evening chatting about guys at work etc, and I admitted to having a huge schoolgirl crush on one of the teachers at school
I know nothing will come of it but its lovely to feel all silly and girly again and all fluttery butterflies when he's around :rolleyes:
I've had a reply from M&S and they have refunded me £5.18 ... they have tried to explain where that figure comes from but I am so confused with it all that I have just given up with it. That is very unlike me to not keep fighting but I just think their system i such a shambles that they haven't a clue what they're doing with it :mad: Lesson learned, don't bother shopping there anymore :rolleyes:Mortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000

Morning campers, how are we all today?? I'm still in bed, its lovely to have a lie-in and then be able to just mooch around on here when I wake up without having to get up and rush about
I've just got up to put the hot water on for a bath and make a cup of tea and now I'm safely tucked up again in bed
The sun is streaming in and it looks like another lovely day out there
My plan for today is to stay here a bit longer, have a bath then veg about a bit more till I go and meet ds. I need to leave here about 2 ish and I need to get petrol on the way too.
I've just done a plan for Feb's money and all my accounts are looking okay at the moment, my bills account will be at zero which is good as it is usually overdrawn :rolleyes: My current account has £90 in but I'd like to have £70 left over so I can buy my ticket for Moors Valley and my anti-virus runs out next week. I know you can get free anti-virus but I had loads of problems before when I changed to a different one so I will stick with Norton and just put up with the cost. For the amount I use the internet it is a small price to pay really.Mortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000

Hi honey - your morning sounds lovely (as does last too actually
).
How bizarre about M&S - I won't buy anything online in the sale if that's how they are!
Could you possibly get cashback through one of the sites for the norton anti-virus?

:grinheart Morning hun. Sounds as though you are having some lovely 'me' time which you need and deserve. You are so focussed and organised - wish you could bottle some and send it to me ! Some of us have been trying to persuade IA to write a book and I was thinking that you should write one too. Enjoy your day.

I hope you don't mind me butting in - I have been reading your diary for the last week or two. I was drawn to your user name as I too have a Ben and brought him and his sister up on my own. You are doing really well.

I use all free stuff, anti virus/firewall/anti spyware. Perhaps you were just unlucky last time? It seems a shame to give your hard earned cash to someone, when you could get that product for free.RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

Thank you miss moneypenny, I will go and have a look at it, I must admit last time I left it until it had run out and then panicked about getting a virus so just went for norton again. Maybe if I look around before it runs out I might be okay
Oh, and don't apologise for butting in!! I love getting replies on here so please stay !!!Mortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000
