    If it is in a DMP then why not see if they will accept 20p in the £ or similar.  If the debt has been sold on they will have paid less than that for it.
    I didn't think of that🙄all my debts were sold to PRA Group UK LTD a few years ago and now my accounts have been transferred to PRA Group UK Portfolios Ltd.

    A lovely day was had today. I went to DD2s for lunch and finally got my roast dinner I was supposed to have a couple of weeks ago 😀it was well worth waiting for. I took dessert which was a raspberry trifle from M&S and it was yummy .
    I walked into town then caught the bus to DDs from there so I've had another 30 minute walk today 
    I got home around 6ish and took B straight out for her evening walk then I came back and had a nice shower and put my pjs on. I am really tired so I think I will end up having an early night. I'm also typing one handed because my shoulder is hurting a lot. It was hurting this morning but I took some painkillers and to be fair it's been ok all day so they have definitely worn off now but I don't want to take any until it's nearer bedtime otherwise they will wear off overnight. The rest of of me feels ok though so that's a bonus 😀

    I had a good nights sleep last night 🎉🎉 so woke up raring to go. My first job of the day was to give B a bath which she didn't appreciate. I had to sit down then for a bit to recover because it's a faff to do. I need to clean the bathroom now but I sprayed it with mould remover so was waiting for that to do it's thing. I've washed all her bedding so everything is nice and fresh. 

    I also decided to have a look on Amazon for things like wash powder and fabric conditioner  as I have trouble carrying these things home. I bought a 5 litre bottle of each and a pack of three washing up liquids so that should last me a good while and no carrying it home on the bus 🎉🎉🎉. I did treat myself to ecover so more than I pay in Sainsburys but I do like to try and use environmentally friendly products when I can 😊 I just need to make room for it in the cupboard now 😂😂

    If you like using environmentally friendly consider trying Smol products; delivered to your door when you need them and don’t need to store loads

    I’ve read some good reports on the Smol products. Not tried them myself yet though.

    To Well I didn't end up doing the things I wanted to do today because I had to bath B which sets off a chain reaction of jobs afterwards. I gave the bathroom a good clean but had to hoover every where because when she has a bath she gets hair all over the house. She goes a bit fluffy so when you dry her her fur flies around. She smells off Johnson's No More Tears Baby Shampoo now. I also noticed her eyes needed cleaning so I put cotton wool balls in warm water and bathed her eyes. She isn't talking to me now as she hates having a bath 😂

    I also had a panic this afternoon when I realised I had run out of biscuits 😳😫😳so I decided to make some peanut butter cookies. I didn't end up making them though because I remembered I had sultanas so I made some Rock Cakes. I last made these at school I think 😀they turned out really nicely. I really should bake more often rather than buying processed stuff.
