    Hi All

    So after a week of not eating well (junk food and a few bevvies), I didn't put on any weight at slimming world! yay.

    I'm not long in...so tired. Didn't sleep last night, the usual Sunday night unsettled sleeping pattern.

    I'm struggling with SC, I can't get in touch with them during the day as I don't have any free time, Barclaycard have sent me a letter saying that I haven't been in touch...I have, well SC have.

    Tesco keep calling, saying I've not been in touch with them. Yet SC tell me that Tesco have rejected my I&E. Feel like jacking in my job and taking a lower paid job, just to prove that my salary is as high as it is, because of how far I travel everyday. Rant over.

    Night xx

  • To seek assistance on Barclaycard debt, you can approach Barclaycard directly for :

    1. Minimum payment reduction through collections team (affects your credit file once on a payment plan)

    2. Interest reduction through Superserver team (doesnt affect credit file) but your account should have an offer. This team will check for an offer if your account is not closed or suspended.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the advice, but SC wrote to Barclaycard on the 1st Aug and I have been in touch with Barclaycard, so they are playing silly games....They also prefer people not to use SC and go through them to pay your debt off. Dude in Barclaycard told me this...

    How annoying. Hope it gets sorted out ASAP.
    I never sleep well on Sundays. Is that the anxiety of the week ahead?

    Hey

    It's late, took the dog for a walk earlier, wore stupid old socks and now have a whopping blister on the back of both ankles...silly me

    Also, did a quick tarot card reading tonight...eerily accurate. Was told to be kind to myself and believe that all would work itself out. So random

    Had to spend money today, totally my own fault as I've not done any advance cooking and had to make dinner from scratch, the usual last minute thing. I'm beginning to hate spending money, can't seem to hold onto it, but hate spending it all the same.

    Last few months have been stupidly busy, so glad to have this weekend to batch cook, ebay and clean the house - you know under the beds style clean the house

    Night all

    Ola

    Made some pastry thing with caramelised onions (yummy) a left over courgette and goats cheese....blugh...Wish I'd done something else.. at least I learned how to make caramelised onions

    Gonna list some ebay thing tomorrow...actually looking forward to that

    Plus do some batch cooking tomorrow night...desperately needed

    Also have the chance to call SC tomorrow, to discuss my stupidly inaccurate mileage I gave them...still kicking myself about that. Anyway.

    Night all xx
