[Tempty]

Hehe just try an take that phone off ya huh!!

we should take you off puppy status, you're a staffy now not a puppy!!

hold on and don't let go now girl

[WendyB]

I always liked staffies....but my Siamese might not like one!! Have got two dogs who are ruled by the Siamese lol

[Celestine]

Wow that sounds very promising Wendy. I really hope the money arrives in the next few days, good luck

[LuggerBugs]

Well while I was on the phone to the lovely Louise I casually mentioned my other account "I know that ones ages away" I said, and she said "You mean the account **** thats been approved as well, you'll be getting a letter for that one soon as well"
I only sent LBA yesterday!
I tell you I nearly fell off my chair....

But not holding my breath, gotta wait till moneys in my account, but might be sooner rather than later now I hope

Fan bloomin tastic.

But you're not going to desert everybody and be a stranger when your money comes in though, eh?

[WendyB]

No way - how could I desert you guys?? After all the help and support you've given me?? Apart from deserting you for 2 weeks in Corfu that is but gotta get my priorities right, crap job but someones gotta do it lol...

And the money ain't in the bank yet.....

[enaid]

Nearly well done Wendy, sounds like you may be able to afford a pizza in corfu after all! by the way just get 1 betwean you they are like dustbin lids over there

[Tempty]

Ooooo I like Corfu!
Had my honeymoon there

We stayed in Benitses, tiny little place! also has "the" best resteraunt on the whole Island it's called Spiro's, owned/run by man of same name, and a real charecter. If you get the chance it's a must eat in place.... cheap as chips too

water world is amazing too, great day out to be had there kids (of all ages Lol) will love it

Ipsos bay for scubba diving....... ahhhhh memories

ok envious now.... I'd love to go back

[enaid]

Oh my goodness, Benitsis must have changed, went quite a while a go, sayed in Zorbas Taverna it was orribe. It was all young ones then in the resort and I think the locals just let em spend their money and make a few bob to improve things.
I did that paragliding there, was great, till they dropped me in the sea and I can't actually swim very well
I do believe though Corfu is lovely now though and the greeks love us a lot more than the Spanish do!

[WendyB]

Every other bar in Corfu is called Spiros!!! As is every other Greek bloke We stay in Roda, best kept secret on the island, all families and couples and no yobs (except us) Have been loads of times, can't wait to get back there....and yes the Greeks like us a lot. There's 9 of us going altogether, 2 afmilies of 4 plus my sons mate. Son and mate have their own apartment - god help us all Only 12 days to go now.....and counting

Think I can feel a phone call to the chase team coming on........

[enaid]

Keep us informed, you know we can't stand suspenders on here

[Tempty]

Crikey must be blooming long call!!!

maybe she's stuck on hold!!

[enaid]

i wonder how much we would get if we charged for waiting time on a claim

[WendyB]

Sorry guys, ended up having to do some work, which is what I get paid for I suppose. Anyway, got straight through. Offer letter not posted yet, should be here by Monday, then up to 14 days to get dosh.....

Then I got sidetracked into packaging up the stuff I sold on ebay so i could post it off to the lovely superfast Paypal purchasers who've just put 100 quid into my holiday fund, the lovely peeps! Then I had to do some more work, got 8 months worth of bank recs to do and they won't blooming well add up!!!! Then I decided to bang my head up the wall and go home....in time to go to work tonight....just got in, waiting for hubby to plonk my dinner on a plate, he's just poured me a lovely cold glass of wine.....so see y'all tomorrow folks.

[WendyB]

Well its falling off chair time again gang Just had a brainwave regarding our account which is under control of Collections, which am supposed to pay in 89 quid by 4th of every month. Well, I thought this 89 quid would be better spent on my holidays, so being cheeky rang Bham collections, told them that in view of the fact i was getting my charges paid back, could I just not pay the money in as my charges refund would take me well under my limit......, he rang through to the chase team and confirmed whhat I'd told him, then said YES! Ignore the arrangement Mrs B. Result!!!

I was then even more cheeky and asked whether in view of the larger amount being paid back into my other account could they please up my overdraft before I go on hols so I've got some spends He said no but they'll look at it again next week.
Then the lovely lovely bloke rang the chase team again and asked if they could speed up my letters so i'll get my money faster and in time for my hols!!!!!!! By this time I was speechless (well not really, but I would have been if I was the speechless type, which I'm not lol!!) Apparently they said they'd try to do it today.... Says he's put all the notes on the screen and to ring back tomorrow to see if the chase team have done anything about it. Which they probably won't, but at least he tried and was really really helpful - that must have been his good deed for the day......

back to the bank recs at work now...only 8 more months to do....I think I'm losing the will to live......
