  • Thanks

    Wasnt expecting anything so soon and that was one of the most expensive. It was a star trek voyager box set - bit worried about posting though not sure to just post first class or to do more expensive recorded to cover myself.

    Recorded, without a doubt. Cover yourself

  • I agree Wendy. Its only an extra 70p I think for recorded so not worth taking the chance. Well done. I am posting an electronic drum pad today and I will be doing recorded too. xx

    I am feeling much more positive today. I think once you decide to do something you feel better more or less right away. Thank god we have got this place xx

  • Definetely this place has really helped and focused my mind. I could easily have screwed up by now without it. Feel more positive and in control.

    Cost £6 to send special delivery but Id rather pay the extra for peace of mind and I should be able to claim if lost.

    Glad to see everyones doing well, I havent been on here for a while as I feel things were getting on top of me and looking at the big picture was overwhelming me, so I was just ebaying etc. Really need to get my budget back under control and move on.

  • Hi fellow LH's. I just lifted £100 from paypal so will pay that off Argos when it appears and start getting rid of the bill I am due in June. I have one in June, July and August due lol and I dont want to end up paying interest. The £100 is not all profit as I paid the postage from my own purse but I will use all of it as a payment. Stopping tomorrow for 3 days off woohoo. Have a nice Easter everyone xx

    Evening all...well what can I say. I was paid. It went in. It went out. Have done my sums and am mightily p****** off as havet hit the 10,000 mark but will next month...alas the money I put onto CC (things I needed like car service) meant that it wont happen until next month. Have raided my piggy and was £136 in there so that will come off that bill but some days its just like wading through treacle isnt it! Fab news is I am now off work for 10 blissful (but cheap!!) days!
