    It's not desparate - it's your money! Yep, me with my Nationwide passbook last touched 13 years ago and £5.52 (without the interest) - going in to the branch with all the relevant paperwork on Saturday morning. If I get a tenner, then it's £10 more off the debt!

    I'm actually excited! :j

    Hi everyone,

    I got my post office National Saving and Investments cheque this morning - a fabulous £1.40! Oh well - better than a kick in the teeth!

    Got another with the Halifax with £1 in it, not been touched since 1997 - next to chase and bank a large cheque (not)!

    scottishspendaholic x
    MBNA = £4,000 / Next = £925 (approx. tbc on 19/8)
    Tesco = £2,910.11 / Smile overdraft = £500
    Bank of Scotland = £2,782.83

    I got another £1.73 from closing an old savings account at my bank. It might be tiny, but I see it as paying a day's worth of interest on my 5.5% LOB card (with 20p to spare :rotfl: )

    I cashed my Leeds Perm account in last month - got 5.23 in interest!

    Spent it on a bottle of wine as a treat!
