    I'm going to chuck £20 in today as I tend not to have much change in the week as I try my best to have no spend days. I'll only spend it if I put it in my purse....

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hi everyone,
    Well on day 12 of sealedpot challenge, still putting my £1 coin a day in. Had murder on the phone with Pipex (The Hoffmeisters advert company) Homecall, I changed to talktalk in October, but due to contract had to pay up until December for Broadband. Sent a letter as instructed beginning of December to cancel. So far had two more bills totalling £59.98 for a service I no longer get, plus a £25 admin fee for late payment, and the representative from Pipex said that if I didn't pay they would be sending debt collectors around to my house. I have reference numbers from customer service department to say that the account is closed & broadband has been cancelled, it drove me to drink, last night (thats why I'm so late logging on).

    Well thats my rant out of the way, hope everyone's OK and feeling frugal

    If you don't mind me asking Shelley how old are you?

    The oldest person on a course I lecture on is 68 - so I think you'll probably be fine :D There are more mature students that you'd think, so don't worry and best of luck

    Hiya stunty,
    how'd the night out go? A bit cold to be standing around in Liverpool city centre. unfortunately I was stuck in work, surfin' the net (but we can't tell the boss!). The good lady is organising a night out to Allerton Rd next Saturday, looking forward to it, as we are now back on the same shift, we spend 8 months on the same shift then 4 months on different shifts.
