    I was thinking about leaving FD and going to A&L a while ago, but sure I read something about HAVING To put £1,000 a month odd into FD to allow use of their services such as the overdraft, so I thought better of it. Of course, you could bounce your wages direct from one t'other....

    Today I am:
    * working out MINIMUM Payments I can make to OH and my credit cards, for one month only, to help cover the Solicitors fee / stamp duty on new house (gah! It's going against the grain!!)
    * updating spreadsheets
    * looking around for any Homebase discount codes (can only find ones that expired yesterday)
    * explaining to OH that we cannot afford a takeaway tonight
    * free lunch with work
    * piggy clicks - or not! :) x
