Does anybody else use nationwide for their mortgage? Just had a look at overpayments on my account and it says £349 when I know for a fact its a lot more.

Bit concerning and will keep my eye on it over the next week or so and will have to get in contact with them.

We rent but you will probably find with them it is something like the interest charged and they don't allocate or some rubbish. They are very devious and you must stay on top of them.

Carbootcrazy DH bought reading glasses for £180. From high street store...... and that was hin haggling with them. I went mad. Especially when he lost them on the Chiltern triain. Their lost property service is abysmal. I ended up standing on Marylebone station for 20 mins and then got the lovely young lady to go search lost property. 20 mind later she came back with them and said they were sat on a shelf not logged in.

I tweeted asking to be able to contact someone to say thank you to her bit their twitter service is abysmal too and it got ignored.


I should have varifocall but refuse and they still charge over £100 odd for single lenses.

Am so pleased yours isn't a rip off and yes completely understand having to buy in shop not online.

Hello all. Hope you’re well and ready to make some money!!!
Day 2 and I’ve just got a £20 deposit for a painting I’m doing for a friend and £15 in deposits for my Supper Club on Friday. I’m off to a great start. I wonder how long I can keep this up?

Thanks:T. I know I could have got them cheaper online but now I've got the frames I like and which fit perfectly after the adjustments (definitely NOT designer frames though:rotfl:, boy are that kind expensive????) I'll just have new lenses fitted into my own frames when my prescription changes again. I hope it won't be for a while yet. I hate having to spend money on myself when I'm trying so hard to pay debts off:o

I'm glad you got OH's glasses back, good for you going to so much trouble to sort it:beer:.

Back in the day when I did Mystery Shopping OH and I went for a meal etc in the pub chain I was doing. I told him to smarten himself up a bit for the occasion and he put his best jacket on which he hadn't worn for donkey's years. Long story short, there was a pair of specs which he hadn't worn for years left in the pocket and of course he accidentally left them behind in the pub:rotfl:. For some reason he decided he wanted them back:rotfl: so I phoned them and they said they didn't have them:(. I even called in a couple of days later and the woman showed me the box of left-behind glasses that they had. There were loads which people hadn't bothered to collect, there was a lot of money's worth there:eek:. What happened to his we can't imagine. They were so old-fashioned that the staff either threw them away or someone took them to use for fancy dress:eek:

Another £7.74 interest to add for me

Only managed to cash out £2.59 from Qmee so far.

I have however downloaded some apps and made a start on those (Receipt Hog, Shopitize, One Pulse and GeoTask - Is there anything I'm missing?)

I have also a couple of items ending soon on Ebay and have taken some photo's ready for listing.

I've also gone back to Toluna and am already half way towards a £5 voucher.

Cashed out £2.78 from Quidco and my mobile phone bill went out at the new lower price of £10 so I’ve saved £2.50 from that.
:jI’m feeling giddy with money magic today!:j
Total so far £35+ £5.28 = £40.28
