Anyone as sad as me????

I think in the long run it's good, because you re-educate yourself about the value of every last penny, whereas before I didn't think anything of wasting money!
Good on ya!

One of my dad's favourite sayings is "look after the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves" - shame it's taken me 31 years to take any notice!!!

If you were to conact your bank by telephone and explain the situation with your overdraft, they will give you a full refund as a 'good will gesture', (as long as this is the 1st time it has happened) if it is the 2nd you may get half of your charge. I work for 1 of the worlds leading banks and this is what we would do if our customer. However if you dont call to moan they will gladly take your £60.00 !

Hi.
After reading the story about the person who found the pound in the road, it reminded me of a word I made up: surtisfaction
It is a cross between surprise and satisfaction, such as when you find a fiver in the pocket of the jeans you haven't worn for a month. You think "Hey, I'm five pounds better off", and have a feeling of surtisfaction.
But you're not richer.
You always had the fiver, you just never had the bad feeling of losing it.
In fact, you are actually worse off, since you have been paying the interest on not having it in the bank in the first place.
The moral of this? There is none. Its just an observation.
