    The other day i was temped to blow loads and buy a car as it is doing nothing for me in the bank and it is not even safe in there with banks in trouble! It deflated me on the money making a little as it seems a bit pointless working my bum off to fill my isa for no reason
    But then thats exactly what the government wants all of us to do, blow your savings to get everyone out of the recession.........Dont do it!!!! even if you get a penny interest, its still a penny more than you had, i only had to spend mine to pay off a debt, otherwise id still be saving no matter what.

    Morning all,

    Got back late last night. OMG the flight home was hideous! first of all we nearly took off but then we stopped just behind another aeroplane!!! then we looked behind us and there was another plane about 2ft away :eek: I don't know what went on but I think there were too many taking off at one. When we did eventually take off, there was hardly any runway left so we lifted off very quickly.

    Once we were up, there was a horribly drunk, aggressive man. He wouldn't sit down. He touched my sister's hair and said 'what the hell is wrong with you' and of course my dad said 'would you like it if I did that to your family'... so then the man retaliated and told my dad to f*ck off... eventually the cabin crew had to sit him down in a separate bit of the aeroplane as he was so drunk and bothering everyone. He got arrested for being aggressive when he got off.

    I have never been so glad to touch down!!!!!!!
