Today was a bad day, my car decided to make an expensive sounding noise, and I'm not going to getting much change out of 600 quid 
Came home from work to a letter. I said out loud 'Please let it be money' and lo and behold it was a cheque for £250 from a Crafty Code Cracker.
I'm not sure which magazine but think it might be chat magazine it says 27 so assume from here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6614754/e-15-07-chat-issue-27?utm_source=community-search&utm_medium=organic-search&utm_term=chat+issue+27
In which case thanks @KJ1986
Maybe not all my money back but at least I've not lost as much today as I expected.
