    got my payslip and thought yay i can sort out my money for the month coming
    finally got my mileage which will go to the wedding account.
    sorting out the paperwork to ring mortgage companies, as per instructions from Martin
  • Today I pestered the Halifax over my PPI reclaim and spoke to a very civil person in their Chief Exec's Office. He said, "Has my colleague offered you a refund yet?" (Erm no, but if that's the line they want to do, suits me to the tune of £2K!), and chased up my nasty former employers who were meant to have refunded £1000 to me within 3 months of me leaving there. It's now been 8 weeks and I just want my money, in fact, a response to some of my emails to them would be even better!

    So, spent £150 more than I can really afford on Xmas and birthday presents, but could have moved to a step closer towards getting £3,000 in time for Xmas.
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
  • I phoned the Halifax to see if I was eligible to claim back a mortgage exit fee. I am due £40 woo hoo!! Will write a letter to Northern Rock tomorrow.

    I bought two wraps for 75p when they should have been £2.35 each
    Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.
  • Managed to get one of my credit cards from 24.9% down to 17.9%. Have switched my home phone to my isp at £15 a month this includes ALL calls and line rental which is £10.50 with bt anyhoo. This should in theory save me about £15. Got myself logged with pigsback and quidco. Got myself a fuel saver card with morrisons garage, gives me money off shopping there. Whats next me thinks!:j
    Total debt at start (nov 07) = [strike]£8907[/strike] £8684
    HSBC CC = [strike]£781[/strike] £761@ 15.9%
    MBNA CC = [strike]£2434[/strike] £2359@ 17.9% (was 24.9!!!!)
    Barclaycard CC = [strike]£5692[/strike] £5564@ 6.9% LOB
    A way to go..

    [strike]150[/strike] [strike]250[/strike] 350 piggy points, more to follow
    Proud to be dealing with my debts.
    Long haulers No.62:cool:

    Not sure if it is today or tomorrw ( if you know what I mean!):confused:
    But I really took advantage of Debenhams special night!!

    lots of things 25% off.. plus various vouchers from the booklet I was sent.. plus nectar points and vouchers for triple nectar points .. plus opened an account for another 10% off (no worries back dated pay next month will clear it)..
    at one point I confused Sa so much she gave me a £5 gift card but also seemed to manged to take a fiver off my bill too!! & she gave me free samples as well:confused:

    Also, confession time.. I re-bought the handbag I bought wih my birthday money... given all of the above I can take one of them back with my original receipt and have £12 cash back:T
    It's on again tomorrow so go there folks!
