So if you've had PPI in the last six years, you never know - it may just be worth claiming.
It's actually six years since the account PPI was claimed on was last active, so it could be a loan you took out in 2002 and paid off last year. Also in some cases, a 3 year extension to that is being offered though not sure what those terms are.

Sorting our kitchen and lounge out from the tip/scrapheap they used to be and turning them into proper living space. Lom's even started doing the washing up and cooking now

My list of stuff achieved included,

1. Get the car fixed
2. Tax the car
3. Fix the light in our bedroom
4. Fix the light in the lounge
5. Get rid of our old gas cooker
6. Fit the new electric cooker
7. Clear all the crap out the kitchen
8. Get rid of a sofa
9. Get another fridge freezer
10. Fix the hot tap in the bathroom (replaced with s****y new posh chrome ones)
11. Replace the toilet seat
12. Declutter under the TV ready to move it to the other side of the lounge (which I will be doing this week!)

Next job, the kids room *eek*

A new workout comprised of circuits where they tell you to do as many as you can and each time to work your way up until you can do them all. Doing them all the first time you have a crack at it

Seeing awesome friends that you haven't seen for a long time. Of course you miss them all the more when they're gone again but when you see them it's the best thing ever

A proper toilet! Had two weeks of desert peeing and pooping or alternatively hole in the ground toilets that absolutely honk so to find a hotel and be able to shower and have a proper poo is just lush.
