i would have written 317 cheques for a penny each, and only banked them after i had run a magnet over the magnetic strip and folded them down the middle so they would have to be processed manually.

Oh I *love* this!

And Robbing Barstewards Sociopaths deserve it!

Gallygirl - sorry to hear about the sock - although I didn't know them well - I always thought fondly of them

Lemontree and Luceille - how come you just have the best answers? DIdn't think of a cheque

Essexhebridean - good idea was thinking I need to sort out those bits too and keep myself away from the places except for fresh stuff

KC - morning lovie waves to HB

Today is shockingly bad weather here - gale force winds last night and hosing down need to go out in an mo and retreive yesterdays washign from the paddock and then look see if anything is damaged

Also a declutter the larder, make a list and batch cook get organised type of day

Teaching tomorrow - finding it harder and more stressy than I thought but I need to get into a different zone with it - I want to enjoy it - I thought I was only assisting - but I seem to be doing lots and the mans far more expereinced than me - (whining sorry) he's lovely - don't get me wrong but the burden of responsibility doesnt seem to fairly split at the mo - sure it will work out

Opened an new internet saving account at RBS - here's my malligned theory - they are robbing barstwerds - I have a 0% OD which isn't looking too evil at the mo - would it be 'wrong' to move all my spare overdraft ect into an online saver and get them to pay me interest on the money they have lent me for free? Making sure the OD account never goes over?

Or am I being silly?

If you can be disciplined enough to not spend it (which I'm sure you can) then it sounds like it might be worth it, tho I'm clearly no great expert.

How long is the OD 0% for? And is it enough money that you can get a decent interest rate on saving?

0% OD is until I finish PhD - 2010 or 2011 - i have a 1000 limit - I wont make a decent amount of money on the interest 1.5% BUT ITS BETTER THAN NOTHING

Its also instant access and I can switch money between the two freely so maybe if I am careful - I want to start and put away monthly money for cars and yearly expenses - thus far we have stumbled along - but I clearly need to be more disciplined.......

well I live in hope
