xmas vouchers update

December 14th, 2010 at 06:59 pm

I found out what happened today. The company has told hubby's mum that they didn't receive the payments - either all or some of it, I'm not too sure. So, although we gave her the money, they didn't receive it. The reason for this? She has been overdrawn, gotten bank charges and the payments haven't been made. She apologised to us since it is her fault. So how am I going to finish my xmas shopping? Well when I get paid instead of giving MIL "rent" (£160) I've only to give her £10 and use the rest of the money for xmas shopping. Ideally I want to spend less than £150 so I am writing a list of what I need to get. It's not a long list either.

I was reimbursed a few days ago through my health plan for contact lenses I bought a few months ago (£22) so I added that to savings.

    May I ask why MIL is involved in the process of your buying vouchers? It seems that it would be less frustrating to for you to buy them directly. Do you comingle finances with MIL?

    Yeah it would be less frustrating to buy them directly. She is a variety club agent. At the start of the year she showed me the booklet and the vouchers I could pick. I gave her the money each month. I decided how much I was saving. I know that normally agents get a bonus depending on how much vouchers they sell but obviously she won't be getting that this year.

    Well, that's quite a bummer. I'm glad things will work out though.

    Your savings sure have climbed! It's amazing how little things add up. :-)
