Haha yeah some of the girls said to me 'it doesn't actually look that bad'. Think you can get away with anything on the catwalk!

That's good Cinny, you have done a good job paying them off which I am sure they appreciate. My Dad has leant both me and my sister money and I have been paying him back every month where as she has done nothing but he says he knows who he would lend money to again the future! Hehe

How incredibly annoying, I was just having a mooch around on the Daily Mail website and read an article about Cameron Diaz in My Sisters Keeper and it gave away the ending of the book! I've been meaning to read that and now it's ruined! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! Stupid Daily Mail people!

That is annoying! I read the book ages ago so can't rememebr all of it, quite interested in going to see it.

Did it give away the ending of the film or the book? Cos they are completely different!

So, I walk down to HSBC, in the rain and the cold, and queue for 20mins, cos they're useless and have no counters in this branch, only to be told I need to 'present' my co-signer on the joint account, not just his documents as it says in the letter from them, so go away basically! So no wwe have to go to another branch at 11am tomorrow to do it, because all the nearby ones are shut on Saturdays, but this other branch should be able to open the account there and then for us, meaning we will be able to get the 8% regular savers before the offer shuts on Tuesday. Phew and Grrr all at once!

That is such a pain! Is bad enough queuing at banks at the best of times.

I have just managed to get up to ten pounds again on valued opinions already, have to wait 4 weeks for them all to go through though till I can redeem. More clothes vouchers though yay!

What a pain about the bank! I have to go to mine on Monday and sort out loads of things, I hate going there, I always feel pushed into getting everything they offer and find it difficult to say no! OH said he'll come too though so he'll keep me strong!

The Stupid Daily Mail gave away the ending of the book, it was moaning that the film had chickened out by giving it a happy ending. That would have been a brilliant twist to the book... shame when I read it I shall be left untwisted!

Sending a whoop to you for the vouchers Wendz!

Aye not to rub it in more, but the book really is fantastic.

My bank don't push things, in fact its kind of like drawing blood from a stone to get anything at all out of them.

Have you read 'Perfect Match'? That's a good Jodi Picoult book, very clever twist!

Natwest seem to always want to sell me a credit card. Every time I go in they ask if I am still a student drives me mad!

Maybe, I've read 4 or 5 of hers now, I can only remember 3 off the top of my head. I think that might be one I have, but haven't got round to reading yet. One of my first RiSi swaps was with Tete - I'm only just getting to read that now, I have book-lag.
