Quidco and HSBC Bank Account Plus
Thought I might as well try and get double bubble while upgrading to HSBC's Bank Account Plus, as they've got a £50 upgrade cashback offer and so have Quidco... but I had to sign in to internet banking to upgrade the account, so I'm worried I might only get one instance of cashback :S Does anybody know how long it'll take…

Nationwide shutting me down!
Hey Guys. I am a self employed window cleaner and I went bankrupt in may 07. Thankfully I was able to open a nationwide flex account so I could bank cheques my customers give me.

budget help
Hello everyone. I'm trying to budget better but how do you know what is a normal proportion of an income to spend on food, going out, mobile phones, etc. It's all very well trying to find ways to cut back, but some kind of idea like 20% of your income should be spent on food etc would be helpful.

Lloydstsb Classic Plus Current Account Query
Hi all, Silly question but I'm an absolute novice with banking. If I were to upgrade from a Classic Lloyds Account to Classic Plus do I need to put in £1000 a month and NOT touch it i.e. £1000 needs to be in there constantly? Through my salary I can put in £1000 a month but of course direct debits will go out? Many thanks
