    Ha! Just got a letter from A&L (aka robbing bastwerts due to an £80 charge for being overdrawn by about 50p ) and as I have failed to pay in over £500 a month they are going to start charging me a £5 a month admin fee on my account.............they can eff off!

    I am writing to close the account but it will be a pain as I have another online savings account linked to it but doable.

    Now, how can I word this "close my account" letter..............

    Not a clue, but that is our family all over, say nowt, hide your troubles and then when the bombshell hits it causes mass shock and ultimate distruction.

    Oh Lou, its just so unfair how things seem to happen at once.

    I wish I wasn't hungover so I could write something a bit more useful.

    THe world isn't crumbling tho, just a little battered. Do Brother and GF have kids?

    Many hugs xxxxxx

    Thankfully no kids but I really like his girlfriend, apparantly he hasnt been happy for a long time, wonderful timing though but I guess this would be hard no matter when it was.

    So pleased I havent posted their joint card off:o
