  • Oh forgot to say, bought DH's main Christmas present today all paid for with my surveys.

    Will get that delivered on Thursday when I am off work on a flexi day & will stash that somewhere at home.

    Bought him a Lego Porsche 911, has 2704 pieces so he will be in his element with that.

    Still have £59.21 left on Amazon so will try & build that back up again to pay for some more Christmas presents.

  • Hey,

    So my 23 hours of OT got me an extra £167.00 in my wages after tax, will keep that in my savings account will probably use that when we go away for our anniversary later in the year.

    The Nationwide referral issue I was having, heard nothing back from the poster since last week. They did say they would close the account down so that Nationwide will take the £100.00 back off me so I said that's fine go for it. Emailed Nationwide to ask if they will notify me if this happens so that I have time to transfer the money over to that account, also asked them at what date will the £100.00 be mine with no chance for them to pull this back. Will wait for the response which will likely be next week at some point.

    Sat & worked out all the bills today as we got our payslips, don't usually get them till after we've been paid so was good to be able to do that today while in work.

    Nowt much else to report, 45 minutes of work left then that's me free till Sunday!

    Just caught up with your thread DR, cant believe the hassle about the Account, I think what they have done is just awful and has quite shocked me tbh....Chin up hun, I suppose not everyone on here can be decent human beings.


    Well done on the 2lb loss :T
