    You could count slippers if you have them.


    I'll add those then!

    I own.
    1 x pair slippers
    1 x pair black ankle type boots
    1 x pair Trainers
    1 x pair smart cuban heeled shoes
    1 x pair of pink (they were once) slip on comfy granny style from Lands End which I wear constantly and need new ones desperately.

    Thats it. Since my waterproof walking boots developed a hole and are no longer suitable!


    I'll take anything in a size 8!
  • Size 8 i could walk about inside them i am only size 6 but with high arch so getting shoes is real problem

    I owed on a Halifax card and included that debt. The Halifax also told my OR all about my share saving thing I had with them! I thought I had a few pounds in there and hadn't looked at it nor thought about it for perhaps a year or two before BR - so I forgot all about it and didn't include it in my BR forms. Turned out that I had a whooping £50 is by the time they added the dividends etc so the OR took that.

    May open another share saver in a year or so. (Although now would be a good time whilst all at the bottom. Mmmmm I wonder if I could use my quidco cashback as its "free" money? Would the Halifax allow me to open another???)

    I think this old school banking mentality. With 1 in 400 people expected to go bankrupt this year, banks should reconsider their attitude towards bankrupts. We have no debts and pose a lower risk than many who supposedly can manage their finances. Restrictions that the law and banks put in place mean that we are unlikely to get in debt in the immediate future.


    it's daft I know but them are the reasons they don't want us,as they make lots more from people with overdrafts,going overdrawn etc than from someone that runs their account in credit all the time.

    Halifax wrote to me rather speedily BUT took 6 months to close the accounts (after reminding them!)

    I have 39p and 5p cheques!!!

    Haven't banked them yet!!!!

    Funny how they take Government bail-outs but snooty to people that fall on hard times!
