    I don't do Corrie either but do watch Emmerdale & Home & Away

    You didn't miss much in Emmerdale Tracey, Nathan was still being petulant, the Sharma's didn't poison the stream, it was Adam from the farm (& some old pesticides), Nicola was being Noicola, Viv was being Viv, you get the picture :rotfl:

    I have a flex account with nationwide and only have twenty quid in it.

    I may switch everything over to that and pay off my overdraft separately but I'm guessing alliance and leicester will charge me if I switch and leave the premier account with no wage going in. Or I leave my wage going in and transfer an amount of money to pay my bills but that will be difficult as most of my bills go out on the sixteenth of each month and I get paid the fifteenth of each month.

    !!!!!!!:(

    I did this in October last year. They have only just moved over my SO's and DD's after God knows how many phonecalls. They will give you no idea when they'll move over, so you'll need enough money to cover two accounts. Once everything is moved over it takes another 3 months for them to pay out the £50. They moved over my SO's, but then didn't pay any of them (one of them is actually my mortgage :mad::mad:). I got the most obnoxious little !!!!!! on the phone the other week who was being sooo patronising because I questioned what he was telling me, when he'd just contradicted himself.

    If you can put up with all that, go for it - it's £50, but it's definitely not an easy £50.

    i think I will leave it and use the flex account as a bit of savings for rainy day.

    Sorry, but thought I'd better warn you. They have been soo difficult. I know you're feeling things are a bit tight at the moment, have you tried comping or anything? Surveys? Mystery shopping?

    Done surveys too and two reviews on dooyoo.
    Not into matched betting though.

    No major loss, will be over it in a few days at most but rejection is never good.

    And yes he is short which tbh was always something I struggled with as he is my height and I am only 5ft 1!

    Can't be mean though, hes a nice guy, I knew it was never gonna lead to anything fantastic as we didn't really click emotionally (he was too laid back for me and I was too highly strung for him me thinks) and we only met up 4 times but he was good in bed :rotfl:

    I had a weird feeling all weekend after seeing him it was gonna end soon but he text me tonight to cancel tomorrow and I rang him just to gauge his tone and it was pretty off so number deleted and moving on! I know he was seeing others too anyway so guess he found someone more compatible!
