today something wholey new and unusual happened...
the bank GAVE me extra money! :eek:
i was withdrawing money to add to my pot (see sig) from a cheque which had cleared today and the bank man gave me an extra ten pence in cash! i checked my internet banking and the correct amount i wanted is on there, so i made ten pence profit :j
now the honest good person side of me told me to go back in and check with the guy at the time...but then i thought of that £623 of charges they've taken from me in the past six years and i thought nah! i'm taking that tenp
