Sending positive vibes for the interview EE.
Re. the prize twit, can only echo everyone else in their opinions. I think you can hear the panic behind his remark to you as he finally realises that his safety net has disappeared into the wide blue yonder.......Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

Thanks everyone for your good wishes, the interview went well and I will find out early this week.
Got my money from Music Magpie, very good service as took them in to the parcel shop on Monday and the money was in my account on Friday.
At the moment none of it has gone to debt as I gave DD her Child Benefit early and needed food etc for this weekend plus my dog with cancer has another infection in her tumour so had to get a course of antibiotics for her. Price has gone from £100 to £150 in 2 months, I asked them to double check the price and then they told me they would prescribe a cheaper one so only paid £65.
STBEXH transferred me £50 in the morning to cover half the cost and I have offered him the rest back but he says to keep it to pay off his debt!!!! (Me thinks he may be on this thread!!!)
