    I have other accounts so no big deal to get rid of them if needed.I haven't had any problems with them but like I say will see how it pans out.

    Have to admit I find transferring the money into hubbys every month a pain in the bum .... I should really get around to closing it but the overdraft is handy sometimes

    Thanks all....
    Hypno has hit the nail on the head as it's waiting about and the situation out of my hands.I'm impatient and need to be doing IYSWIM.

    The weather is ok for me here as it's quite cool so not too much bother.

    A+L has done my head in ..they are migrating customers over onto the santander system over the period of 3 months ...unfortunately it's my turn this weekend...I have now been migrated BUT on my DD list they are all blank for amount paid/what date....I use these to check when stuff is due out !!!...because they have been paid on the old system...they will not show on the new system until they go out again...so everything is more confusing than ever on there.
    I will see how it pans out but may just transfer away from them.Will give it a couple of months.
    RMC..see you have the pleasure to come yet.

    Managed to do a couple of bits today...
    Washed some pots
    washed and dried some washing
    walked to the shop and back
    tidied and cleaned my computer table

    shredded some paper

    it's not a lot but a start

    Its going to be a pain this transfer over, got A+L acccount, luckly its a spare, but dd's accounts all with Abbey, they don't know when there transferring them.....

    Its going to be fun and games as well if the Halidax decides to go to LloydsTSB way of working.

    Think you've had a very productive day, daddy darling!! doesn't like anyone else using his pressure shredder, so wait till I have a bag full!!

    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
