    a weekend away though Beanie - that's mandatory!

    People keep asking me for extra money at the moment so I think the diet will be a roaring success as it'll all have to come off the food budget...

    If you didn't eat it, it would be all forlorn.

    my sis went through there on her last visit home and she liked it too.
    it's a shame about the Dunfermline but not that surprising now. Hope DS doesn't have over the max in there!:D

    P.S. my first ever double quote so fingers crossed...

    Actually I was very surprised about the Dunfermline, as they were always seemed so conservitive lending wise.
    Knew that their new computer system was a bit of a disaster though.
    Another big blow for Fife :(

    It's quite alright - they're guaranteeing all monies - even over the threshold. Tell him and he can sleep easy tonight... ;)

    even better Beanie!

    Actually the MP on the news yesterday was getting on my nerves cos he kept going on about the government letting a "scottish" building society go to the wall - surely they deserve saving or not if they are scottish, english or welsh based on other factors than their scottishness! :mad: maybe he'd just caught his wife downloading dodgy films and couldn't think straight!
