£760.13!
That's how big a refund we'll be getting off United Utilities after it turned out mrsblaireau69 had been paying water rates by DD whilst Blaireau Villa was undergoing reconstructive surgery.
The right hand didn't know what the left was doing, it would seem. Even though I told UU the property was empty they carried on taking payments from feb 2006. After a wee bit of negotiating they agreed to not keep hold of the cash and offset it against future bills, to reinstate the DD they have just cancelled and refund the whole lot in one easy payment!

£760.13!!!

Get On ;-)

What has surprised and delighted you recently?

Suprisingly
My insurance company called out of the blue last week to tell me they would renew my car policy for 120 quid less.

Fantastic!
I still need to file my most recent tax return. I think I "managed" to make a loss, hope HMRC agree with me...
