    well, SH... only in the immediate few days until we get the final decision on mortgage. but i am impressed with them and their helpful ness... never once talked about taking away o/d or anything.... i guess they can see we are good customers, with loads of their products and with assets.

    i think so too.. but there must be a reason for it! if you have a financial blip like people do from time to time... do they have to punish you for soo long?

  • I know I think once a debt is settle it should be removed after 12months or 3 years 6 years for a settle debt is a joke! Ha

    anyone ever use those pedometer thingys...? you know u meant to do 10000 steps a day. i used to wear one every day and write down my steps. but i have just found and bought a batch of pink [yes pink!] pedometers with usb connection and soft ware that tracks your progress for u! no more writing it down. cos if you walk burn 3500 calories then thats equivalient to 1 lb of fat? isnt it? sure someone will tell me... but to have it updated from the pedometer to my pc is great!
