Hi everyone. Hope you're all well today. Well, well, a wee bit closer to the weekend (every little helps), but got a busy afternoon ahead. Have had to book out one of our quiet rooms as one of my colleagues has a nasty habit of asking questions when I'm in the middle of reading legal documents. He's a kind of 'need it now' guy and sometimes forgets that other people may be in the middle of doing their own important stuff that has a deadline :mad: :rolleyes:

Colleagues. Don't ya just love 'em?

Morning all. It's official, our washing machine has given up the ghost.... FULL OF WATER :eek: How the hell do I empty it???? And now we've got to buy a new one! _pale_
Times like this I wish we had emergency savings..

Felling your pain IA - ours packed up a few months ago and dozy me thought if I put it on another cycle it will empty the water but no it just put more water in and flooded the kitchen. I have a weird irrational fear of water pipes, cisterns etc so I hid in the living room while OH did something and manually pumped the water out. A wire from a bra had blocked it up - I still insist it wasnt me!

Bus driver just let me on the bus for a half cos he thought the price to go 3 stops was extorniate bless him.

what a nice thing for the bus driver to do!!

When my two used to get a bus to school, the driver would often tell them it was BOGOF day!!!

Oh that is so poo Sar. Why dont you get onto freecycle for a washer. I got one from them at the weekend. Its like new. Slap a wanted ad on there. That way you wont need to spend any money a new one. I am so hooked on freecycle now. Got a fab rug as well from a lady who had moved and it would no longer fit into her living room.

I'm on moderation for wanted ads now. Because I asked for 5 items in 3 months or something ridiculously stupid like that.

Have you actually had the machine looked at. It maybe something simple. You could get a quote to see how much it would cost to fix it.

Hi, morning all

Just had the most awful call from BT, the man was rude aggressive and intimidating, he passed me through to someone else, I made a payment offer but again rejected, I asked for some charges to be waivered but the horrible woman just said they could only accept £5 less than the balance. I told her that my offer was reasonable based on other creditors and basically if they could not accept the offer, they wouldn't get paid.
She just spent 5 minutes lecturing me....

Feel so down, a supervisor is suposed to be calling me back but what is the point, if they won't accept a pro rata payment, what can a supervisor do?
