I keep chipping away at the Room of Shame and will take you back in there soon, but of rather more urgency has been doing a little financial re-organising. This was provoked by the closure of the only bank in our little town. I've long done most of my banking on-line but have always used one of the Big Four banks (even though I knew I could get a better deal elsewhere) because I felt that it was worth supporting banks which provide a service in rural areas. Well, they have changed their policy on that one so I decided to go for the better deal.
Never one to do things by halves this provoked a full scale money makeover. So far I have changed my broadband/TV/telephone package, my car insurance,my energy tariff, my current account and my credit card. None of these has been easy, largely because of my personal inefficiency, and the whole procedure has taken rather a lot of energy so blogging is taking a back seat
WOW just WOW. You certainly grasped that and wrestled it into submission.
ReplyDeleteI feel quietly pleased with myself. Not everything is complete yet - I can't retune my TV properly for example, but I have done a lot in the space of about a week.
ReplyDeleteWell done you, you've really gone for the financial spring clean and won. I hope it all works out.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a job, Mary. We have recently changed our cable tv service and that was a big job as well but well worth it. We are always looking for ways to save a penny and get better deals but rearranging things is a pain for sure.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard that expression before, eating frogs but you've certainly been hard at work. Well done, very well done!
ReplyDeleteIt just means tackling something unpleasant or difficult - I like the expression (but not the activity!).
DeleteI had no idea that you had a second blog, and have been looking in vain at your other one, wondering where you were!
ReplyDeleteSorry, Elizabeth. I have just about disappeared but i am still here - rather busy as you see above! Today i am having my Sabbath and I feel as though I need withdrawal at the moment.
DeleteWell done you!
