Very sorry to hear about the break-up, but well done on getting those debts sorted out. You've done a smashing job :T :T :T

:hello: Hey LP,

Just thought i'd see how your doing?

Little_Pickle

Hey guys... well, it's beena while since I updated my diary...

Okay, my current total debt is still £2,630.00. (I'm glad it hasn't gone up!)
I am still waiting for my flights to be refunded which would leave me with about £200.00 on my credit card which means my debt will then be £1,678.00!!!

Mum and Dad want me to get a laptop for at home before I start paying them back (I was going to do this when I was all done with the debt), so I'll do as they ask. Very kind of them!

I waiting for £20 of boots vouchers to come from Pigsback which I'll be able to use for bathroom stuff (shampoo / conditioner etc).

I've also got another £10 to claim too so will do that soon.

I did have a blow out which was brilliant! Had my hair cut (big change from normal) and spent some cash at the weekend on good food, wine and good times with some friends.

I have 3 family weddings this year, and went out with my mum over the weekend to shop. I can't believe how lucky I am! I found 3 beautiful dresses in the sales - all in my size and for £10 each!!!!! that is going to save me SO much money!!!!! One of them was £85 before the sales and the other 2 were £60 each before the sales!

So that's it, really.. nothing more to update as such, back to scripping from Friday (payday) as the blow out was a one off!

hope you're all well,

Hey LP,

Glad you enjoyed your blow out (although it was DFW blowout by the sound of it!) I find when i go out with my friends it always sorts me out!

New laptop sounds good! Just dont go to Pc world, they are useless!

Onwards and upwards!

Little_Pickle

Thanks lilmissmup!

well, my £20 boots vouchers from Pigsback turned up! yay!

Also sold a DVD on Amazon last night...profit of £5.05!

Refund still not turned up yet! Oh well, they did say up to 12 weeks!!! funny how quick they are to take your money but how slow they are to give it back! ha ha!

Also, watched MArtin's show last night and have decided to go ahead and try to get my credit card charges back... I wrote the first letter and wrote out my cheque months ago, but it's still sitting in my drawer at work... don't really know why I didn't send it off?!?!

hugs,
