    Well I've got my car back :T :T Less than £200 in the end :j

    I've moved £200 back to savings now (the ones I have for easy access) as I'd moved over £500. I won't count it as it was already there.

    So today's pads:
    £1.39 to mortgage
    £5.00 to savings
    £0.58 to joint od.

    Another 16 parcels posted as well :)

    I got a phone call about a mystery shop yesterday but said I couldn't do it as I didn't have a car. When I got the call that the car was ready, I checked the website and saw it was still available so nabbed it :D The car and mystery shop were both in a neighbouring town, and I don't often do them as the cost and time of travelling over outweighs the payment. So I got paid £8 for picking up my car and doing some shopping I was planning on anyway :D

    Glad the car wasn't as much as you were expecting. Great that picking it up was combined wth a mystery shop.

    I've been sorting out my admin. I've been setting up online accounts where possible for where my debts have been sold on so I don't have to just use my credit reports which aren't always up to date.

    I think I can see balances for all but three. It's a bit annoying in this day and age that you can't see an online balance!

    Whilst I've been doing that I've made some payments to round down my balances so have paid £48 towards my debts today :T

    I've had two responses about my CCA requests, one telling me it was in the wrong name (I never updated my details when I got married) :rotfl: so have sorted that one.

    The other one saying I need to make the official request and send a cheque for £1! I already did! So they got a letter back referring to my previous letter and cheque. Silly me didn't write which co I sent which cheque to so that's reminded me I'm an idiot :doh: Some have cashed the cheques but I don't know which ones! :o
