  • Oh yes Sar,
    I shall be sending Joe off to chilminder tomorrow with pants and potty in his bag-she sorted Freya out in days for us last time...

    I may even send the big huge tub of Haribos as well that we bought to bribe him with (and for me as well-can't seem to get enough Haribo at the minute for some reason!)

  • Morning all!

    Oh potty training! The joys!!!

    Sorry to hear you are having a tough time Bunny, if it's someone, let me know and i'll send the boys round to sort them out!!!

    Feeling !!!!ed off today, as my next account has it's credit limit slashed from £3k to £250!!! i only have £500 on it, which i was whittling down, but i went to access my online account to see how much i need to pay next payday and it was locked. Account has been reviewed and now limit is £250!!! how can they drop your limit to below what you actually have.

    I know next is shocking interest but i always felt comforted by the fact that it was there and it meant i was acceptable credit wise. Something must've knocked my credit score badly to have done this, and i don't know what it is.... Time for another experian visit i think... but i've had a free trial before so will need to work out if i can do it again free. I might try equifax too, as never did them last time.

    B*gger!!! Totally spoiled my day that has!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

  • Hi Jet,
