    One positive point to remember is that in the event they have a fire, you'll also hear the alarm and can leave your house safely too!

    Just rang up halifax to change my overpayment standing order to £1,137.13. The CS lady thought it was quite funny :rotfl:

    So, I wonder if it'll end up being exactly £135,000.00

    Prob £134,999.99 or £135,000.01

    £134,999.99 does sound quite good though :D

    Do we need to call you up to wake you after days of sleep deprivation or will the OP be enough to keep you active? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
