Morning all.. hope everyone's well.. nearly the end of another week :T I'm supposed to be doing a trial at a local bar tonight (presumably for no pay as it's a trial) and I really don't know if I can be bothered... I've just accepted this Ann Summers job (Still have NO bookings... :rolleyes:) and the bar job isn't regular hours... hmmm.
Anyone up to anything nice today? Weather is grim here today, cold, overcast and pretty miserable looking!

    morning IA, weather the same here. Not doing anything exiting today just housework and having the monk on with bf :mad: must get it done today though been a complete slob this week :o
    On a mission
  • IA - they should pay you, I used to run a very busy bar in the centre of Cambridge and we often trialed people but always paid them. It is not a case of free labour. I would say go and if they dont pay you would you wish to work for them!!!!

    Nothing exciting here but looking forward to having a bit of a battle with MBNA to sort out a mistake they have made, but if goes the right way we will be buying a new lawnmower this weekend, which will not to some be very exciting but will be fab for me!!!!

    OH off to Manchester tonight so have the house to myself YAY and the girls are cooking super - luxury. (well probably not as they will no doubt fight like cat and dog!!)

    Bit more baking today I think, I was going to clean the windows, but I really need to be in the mood for that. Its Parents evening tonight and seeing as they both came home with a behaviour book last week I am not holding out much hope.:rotfl: Think I need to split them really in class now maybe they are spending too much time together.:eek: Apart from that I did manage to reclaim PPI back from HSBC yesterday for £1300.00 so I will go and pay that off some of my bills before I spend it on rubbish. Also Easter eggs keep winking at me under the stairs trying hard to resist.:EasterBun Have a good day.
    Claimed back almost £4000 so far from HSBC for mis-sold PPI
    £2083.00 + £242.00 8% interest from FirstPlus and lower monthly premiums:D Studio Cards paid off my account and gave me £125.00 in gift vouchers. £500.00 Barclays.
  • TM - do you have a thread on how you did that want to reclaim PPI from Barclays

    I just rang them, they are my bank you see, just took one phone call, but I did have my contract of employemnt to proove that I only worked 10 hours a week not enough to claim on the PPI, have got £4000 back altogether from them, I have listed everything over on the PPi reclaiming site, I am not very clever with computers so can't give you a link maybe someone else can.
