    I vote for a no spend month :) I am going for one too, we could do it together as I am building up to my DFD on 31 March.

    Oh My God.

    have just checked my bank account.

    I have a PPI refund. 4000 pounds.

    I applied in half term - really didn't think I'd get anything.

    4000 pounds. Am Stunned.

    Truthfully so stunned.
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Honestly, Beanie, apply or investigate.

    Mum thought my reaction was hilarious.

    was shaking and everything. I am leaving it in the bank.Still really shocked.

    (and sorry, I know posting this on the debt free bit may induce death threats, which I totally understand)

    Oh my God.

    Just going to keep saying that.
