The revenge of the stripey socks - a DFW adventure

Cheery_Daff

Love the sound of your stripey bedroom Fay!

And quite jealous about everyone naming their savings account! I'm with the Coop and can't name mine - does get a bit confusing sometimes!

Just had to have a good root round in them - Mr Daffs rang to see if I'd paid January's rent to him yet - er, no, because I stupidly forgot to hand timesheet in before Christmas, then payroll place shut over Christmas, then cheques were ready for pick up on Tuesday (cheques! In this day and age! Complete pain in the backside I tell you!), but I didn't go backto boss's house because we were running late, and she now hasn't put them in the post, so even if she does tonight, I probably won't get them til Monday, and then it'll take til the end of next week to cash!

Pah!

Transferred rent from holiday fund to stop the poor guy from panicking but MUST remember to transfer it back again or whole budget will go pear shaped...

Anyway, hope you're not working too hard! First day of PhD Round 2 is going exceptionally boringly here - I've been the only person in the office all day, and I can't really do much til met with supervisors next week, so done lots of cleaning of desk and throwing away of paper!

LT I bank with A&L, if you have online banking then there is a bit called manage accounts and 1 options is called something like account nicknames.

Cheery :eek: to cheques and you still have to wait for them to clear, good luck!

Stripes, tiffany lamp? What Tiffany lamp? Ive never heard about any such thing! :rotfl::rotfl:

fay, i have two tiffany lamps which are still in their box here, just not my thing.

i bank with boring old shabby, natwest & a&l. i have named my boring accounts in tesco's though.

thankfully i still love my fabric and can't wait to get started. spoke to the girl in the shop and though it's probably dry clean i'm going to wash it first so that if it does shrink it's before all my hard work. Not sure now how to get it all in a washer (may have to send OH to the laundrette) and more importantly how to get it dried.

Hi LT - you can rename your NatWest accounts - go in "View account details", (just below that summary that comes up under each account, once you've double clicked the line) & on the screen there's a button "change account name"

Sorry for the hi-jack Faye - wishing everyone on Faye's thread, Happy New Year stripeyness

Inkycats thanks for that and hope 2010 is great for you too

Cheery dafff - hugs lady - cheques I mean that's so much of a pain!

LT - hmmmm lamps you say - they shouldn't be my thing but somehow or other I just like them - very unlike me


Pipsmum great account naming!

Report to finish up tonight
Keeps mind off of the big slaughter tomorrow (And I am not talkign about taking them over a cliff honest)

Lemon_Tree

thanks ladies for the help i shall be naming my accounts forthwith.

you are all looking at the mugg who is now the interim treasurer of the allotment society, and it was my first meeting - they saw me coming!


hmmmm yes lamps Lol, i will send you details.

good luck with your meeting tomorrow. My team have now all had their 'justify your job interviews' and we're being told we're a very lean, efficient team but none of us really beleive it will save us if they decide to do something.

Pippilongstocking

Good that you are a lean efficient team though eh?

Lemon_Tree

yep i suppose so.

Cheery_Daff

Lean efficient team?? Well done! Fingers crossed for the jobs though. And I know how you feeel with the allotment society - I once ended up doing exactly the same thing!

~~~~~~~~~vibes for you today Fay~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hope you've got all your stripey underwear on show (er, well, nearly). Walk in with your head held high, and back out the same way, whatever they say. I'll be thinking of you...

Lemon_Tree
