    Hope you are feeling better soon. And excellent news on the dress. It's like a little surprise shopping trip. Have a lovely day out with family.
    Thank you, it was a nice surprise :grin:

    Excellent news on your new dress. My house is full of clutter, it all belongs to my husband because it might come in useful one day.!!

    Arrggh, I am so frustrated!  I get up this morning to find a welcome email from yet another gambling company!  I have been in touch with them to tell them it's not me and get it blocked.

    I've scanned the computer, changed my email password and turned on 2 factor authentication.  I have no idea what to do now!  I think I'm going to have to contact the credit reference agencies and get them to put a note on my file or something.  No one seems to be applying for credit, but as my defaults fall off at the end of the year, I don't want them to start!

    If anyone has any ideas, let me know.  I've posted on the techie board for advice too.
