That's one for NIM to answer, I'm sure he will at lunchtime.
Been googling pictures of 'invisalin' braces. If I get those then they really don't seem that obvious - that said the girl has perfect teeth in the photos, so with my gaps they probably would be a lot more obvious!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

As you say though, pointless speculating until you've spoken to the orthodontist, might be worry over nothing, you might only need them for 6 months!Weightloss: 14.5/65lb0

Do you not use internet banking Cinny? And to be fair the very vast majority of tales from other banks concern debt, not savings. They tend to be lovely when you're giving them money!
No, I do! So it would be pretty easy to link the Halifax saver to my Abbey account for Direct Debits?
Good luck with the DooYoo and Bingoport plans, they sound pretty good, I love the idea of an amazon voucher stash! That's really nice of your mums friend giving you the TV too.
As for the braces, I completely understand you not wanting them at the wedding! Hopefully you'll be able to have a removable one rather than the tracks.0 -
Well i will be happy to answer his questions when he comes on. I like to pretend I am a bit of a bingoport expert.
tete is right wait and see what they say then at least you will know what kind of time length you have.0 -
Yeah it's the fact I'd feel like a child, and 'hardly' see them isn't good enough for my wedding photos! I'm kind of hoping he says I will have removable ones so I can just take them out for the day.

Completely understand what you mean. I have braces and whilst it doesnt bother me having pictures etc with them i wouldnt want them in wedding photos. Im even starting to stress that i will have them in for my graduation pictures in two weeks :rolleyes:
I read somewhere about some celebrities wearing some invisible ones - not the normal 'invisible' ones but these cost like ten of thousands of pounds and you really cant see them. Oh how i wish i could of had them :rotfl:Biggest Loser Weight Loss: 13 / 20 lb0 -

Yes! Really easy. You do it once and then if you're sticking with the same level every month ats it, you don't need to touch it again. If you change it each month you just go into the direct debits tab (there is one on HSBC and A & L and lloyds, so assume most banks have one) and you can alter the level of the payment (technically its a standing order not DD))

Trying to work out what we could get as basics (and treats we've been after!) for the new house from amazon.
New camera
Toaster
George Foreman
Kettle
Basic crockery for everyday
Telephone/answer machine
kitchen pans
wii + wii fit
xbox 360
Ironing board
Baking sheets/tupperware etc
Washing machine
Dishwasher
Freezer
Towels
Duvet & pillows
Sheets and Bedding
Thats quite a shopping list! Roughly £1500 for the lot of them! So if we're getting married in a year that's £4.11 (ish) of amazon vouchers we need per day.....6 reviews per day plus BP on both accounts would = £5 per day .... if I understand BP correctly, which I doubt. Eeeek!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

That makes me realise how many new things we are going to need again when we eventually move out of OHs parents. Maybe i should start doing reviews again!!Biggest Loser Weight Loss: 13 / 20 lb0 -
I'm sure there are more, thats the scary thing. However anything decorative I can get off etsy. I'd rather spend an extra £5 and get something gorgeous and handmade, than a b & q basic that looks rubbish and everyone has! However white goods and the like of electrical stuff obviously want a nice branded one rather than one cobbled together in a back yard!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

What on earth are you going to review?! I find it hard to kick out 1 in a day, nevermind 6!! That's an awful lorra stuff to buy too. Eek! Best get my house fund sorted soon if I want to move out before I'm 30..
Standing order, that's what I meant! (duh, silly me!) Will look into it all later, really need to start making interest work for me rather than just shoving any spare cash into my esaver and putting it off. My interest rates are so bad for someone who's meant to be on top of their money!

I already have quite a lot of stuff too, bedding (will need this new too actually), furniture (not from amazon but will need it!), fridge, oven, towels (need those actually!!!), freezer (argh, more for the list!) dvd player, computer, glasses, iron, kitchen bin, the list is nearly endless!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008
