Oh wow, thank you all so much for the replies.
It is funny that you can all see what I had forgotten - I have bought her up on my own completely (from being pregnant) so yes I should be proud of both of us!
Her graduation is not til July so I have time to save!

It is an expensive month as I also have to pay the Center Parcs balance this month so I don't know if I'll be coming to Manchester

Does anyone know if there has been any progress on the bank charges test case yet?
As I remember we were waiting for the OFT to make a final decision which was expected to be in early Feb.
I can see them delaying the whole thing until the banks are stable though.

Ok, just found this....
Latest News
22 January 09. FSA waiver extended for a further six months
The FSA announced this morning it's extending the current bank charges waiver by a further six months meaning the hold has now been in place for a year and a half with still no end in sight.
My thoughts....I bet this is because they know that if banks are forced to refund these charges in the current financial climate, they'd all be screwed.
Next Key Date
Decisions expected from the Court of Appeal and OFT
We're now waiting for a decision from the Court of Appeal on whether it thinks charges can be subject to fairness rules and for the OFT to decide whether it thinks bank charges are actually unfair. As always news will be in the weekly e-mail.
