Just been catching up on the weekend's thread:
YorkshireLass - Re. the shampoo if you take it back you should get refunded. I work in Mr T next to customer services and their policy is if something is priced wrong they give you back twice the difference
not sure if @sda have a similar policy but it is worth a go

I joined up here over a year ago and havent really been in the forums for the most part, but i must admit when i joined the wealth of information, feedback and support was great. Slowly working my way to being debt free and started today by sending off 4 letters to CC companies making F&F settlement offers (fingers crossed), also have spent zero so far, and as a freelance consultant i'm hoping a client will pay me today!DMP total Mar 2009 = 43,836
DMP total now = [STRIKE]35,883[/STRIKE] 33,500

Cheers DNMS... Will pluck up the courage...!

So just as well I checked banking today - two fraudulent transactions for £479 each!! It took me into my overdraft too so I'll need to check I won't get charged overdraft fees for those days. :mad:0 -
Hi,
Alas too busy to contribute much. Work has switched to 12 hour shifts for the season, and my workload is ridiculous. However, have managed to:
* Take a packed lunch; struggling to eat just now, which isn't helping.
* Searched for a DVD more cheaply on https://www.flubit.com
* OH has just invoiced her latest contractor for £500+, most of which will be profit.
Hugs to all.

Hi all,
Hope everyone is OK - positive thoughts to those who need them x
I feel so much better having slept most of the day (yesterday) I now brush off lil comments etc and I am now less sensitive.
Today hasn't quite gone to plan as I woke up late so did not make breakfast or lunch so I went for cheepo meals.
Today I have/will:- dinner from stores
- checked online banking
- checked investment and re-invested
- charged phone via the pc
- drove at 50mph to minimise fuel usage
- need to make lunch for tomorrow (falafels in a wrap with bbq sauce)
- low spend day - just food at work, a large bag of popcorn (will portion up for snacks) and a box of own brand chocolates for my nans birthday tomorrow
- have an early night - hopefully i will get out of the habit of waking at 4am
Think that is about my lot for today - take care all
