A word of advice
« on: 19 October 2014, 16:33:29 »

When you receive a bill/statement/ins certificate/any piece of paper, do not stick it in the bottom drawer of your dressing table until you cant get any more in.
With moving I have had to actually look into these drawers and I must have spent hours this week shredding. It is a boring, noisy job and I hate it. Paperwork from 10-12 years ago. Companies I would have swore I'd never dealt with. (Did I really have an Egg credit card?).
Keep it for a while and then chuck it, or your partner will have to when you peg it.

If you did did you check to see if the snealy buggers had added PPI to it?  We recovered about £5k when I found a bag of her stuff in the loft.

Sod that for a game of conkers. A nice blaze is far more therapeutic and is an excellent way to cook delicious baked spuds. :y
