Make £10 a day May 2016 Challenge

I'm loving the new surveys on Qmee - my total is rising nicely!

I'm a taxi service until 6pm today so listing stuff will have to wait until afterwards. Such a fun way to spend the bank holiday weekend

Hi everyone

Life is a bit rubbish at the moment and I think my OH will be moving out. Don't really know what else to say about that so will just leave it there

On a positive financial note I called Barclaycard this morning with a query on my account. I may have mentioned before that I have two cards with them both of which I had a 0% balance transfer on. I messed up with one of them when I didn't set up the direct debit in time for the first payment -thought I had done both but only done one. Anyway I don't get paper statements so hadn't realised I had been paying interest until I checked my online account a couple of months ago. I just chalked it up to experience ( after screaming, crying and throwing things for a bit) but when I spoke to them today I mentioned it and they said they will refund the interest and put me back on 0%

I am delighted! If they refund it all it will be over £250 so fingers crossed as that will make a big dent in the balance.

I also have £11.72 cashback to add from my 123 account so up to £125.26 for the month. Not great but I have had a lot going on and it's better than nothing.

Thank you for all your good wishes, I'm still hoping for a positive outcome but it is looking less and less likely

Take care

I was supposed to be working on a%£pen today but took an impromptu 2hr nap!! I know I needed it but am now behind on everything! housework, work etc.


sharrian, so sorry. he may just need a break and then you may find he comes back and things can be sorted out. men aren t very good at dealing with finance stuff.

well done on getting bank to refund and put you back on 0% cc.

sounds exciting carbootcrazy. hope the chimneys sell well. bet you can't wait for house to be normal. my laptop battery is broken. just never bought a new one. plug it in and use when I need to. but a pain as means need to sit near sockets.

sorry for not being around much. am awfully tired. it is getting quite tiring havING no energy. excuse the pun.

it's probably iron again as since starting office job j don't eat breakfast. but our new nurse is a pain. he doesn't listen to anything I say

I hope your ok obviously I don't know what your situation is but me and my OH were in the same place a year ago thought it was completely done and now we are in a better place than we ever have been so it might turn out well, if that's what you want. Keep your head up though x

Finally managed to claim my natwest cashback that I had been locked out of the account for so that's £21.18 for me today. I swear I had something else to claim as well but I can't remember what it was. So that puts me at £266.28 yay x

Well, my house is getting emptier and emptier by the day.
Said goodbye to a couple of pieces of furniture for 110 and also ordered a bounts 10 garden gift voucher.
I've listed a load more stuff so hopefully that'll sell and I did a couple of hours of invigilation. It's all adding up...

Thanks for your support guys. Still hanging in there
