Good idea. :j Pity there doesn't seem to be any bank account anywhere in the country that doesn't have bank charges at all. If there was, we could all switch to them and bankrupt the rest of them. If anyone wants to correct me, go ahead. Then again, if an account like that existed, we'd all have swapped over to it ages ago.

Mine doesn't have charges if you are in credit and Halifax have even offered me £5 a month to change to theirs... maybe that's not what you meant though - just came in at the end of that.

Pooky, that is soooo cruel but funny! I hate that song.

I'm so crap I can't even get a basic account!

Just seen that Kiss are touring next year, yay! Just hope they don't sell out till well after xmas.

Are you sure it's not because the banks aren't putting you forward for them? They much prefer you to have a "normal" bank account - they make a third of their money on fees on "free" banking.

I wasnt putting myself down, merely being honest. If you asked my DH, he would wholeheartedly agree I'm a crap wife. It doesnt mean that he doesnt love me, or me him. We've been together over 18 years, so it obviously works for us.

Maybe you feel like a carp whatever, I mean I do somedays but sometimes we have to take a stap back and think about it from someone else's point of view. I guess if we all asked your oh etc they would no way say you were anything you thought you were I dont see why some people thing its perfectly acceptable to keep putting themselves down, even if it is a 'joke'. I ahve been threr done it many a times... The more you say these things the more often you start believing them! Thats when the problem really starts. Please look/feel/think positive, if you think you really are a crap wife (or whatever) talk to your oh or someone positive/mature, you can only improve the situation...

Sorry Pap - I was being facetious.

It is strange how other people see you....I have so much admiration for people on here...I admire Bookie for having the courage to close the shop and move on, whilst giving so much time to other causes....Sally does so much with B, supports her husband and works darn hard at trying to maintain money/debt issues.....Snaggs copes fantastically well with bringing up 2 kids alone, dealing with the issues this brings with R's schooling, whilst doing all that she works, she has a social life and she cooks with mint .... Sammy deals with absent DH, kids, grandkids, work, stress and new kitchens.....

And you Pap, you deal with peoples changing views and opinions on you and are an absolute inspiration with your weight loss.

(sorry for those I didn't mention but you all inspire me)

Ames if I can get a basic account I am sure you can. Like Z said the don't seem to advertise them, I looked online last night at halifax to open another basic account and it took me ages to find the basic one, all they had listed were accounts with fee's, overdrafts etc

:A:kisses3: Ah pooky

It is funny how other people see you...I would never have thought you would have said those things. I see myself not doing enough with B, when we are at home she sits in front of the TV (more than I would like her to) Id like to be more proactive with her but hey I try! As for the supporting OH...:rotfl:bless you but im sure all my moaning says quite the opposite!

You too are a true inspiration lady..coping so well with DH's illness, pushing him around, keeping his spirits up, being their for the children and trying to maintain a normal household for them despite im sure feeling great frustration and days when you would prefer to hide under the duvet.

Yep, mucho oingy boingy We're total polar opposites of each other, and that's one of the very few things we agree on :rotfl:
