Not had a quote for years SM, is that a compared price?

Buttons, never ask a child an open question, give an option if you want to give choices. Our house tonight, 'teas ready' them, 'what is it' me 'scrambled egg on toast' silence as it's accepted! :rotfl:I'm a cow. But I agree on choices, so beans on toast or scrambled egg would have been ok. (needed to use eggs up);)

Does my friggen head in when OH says to them, 'you want to go to bed then' er no!!!

whos that with SM?
I remember getting a quote about 2 years ago, so I was 25 and £100k for 25 years was £5 ish with Liverpool Victoria
so £7 for 30 years sounds quite good

searching_me

legal and general .. im getting anywhere between £6-£7 as im an ex smoker (i do have the odd one so not going to lie) x

oh, well in that case thats a very good price, just make sure you read the small print

searching_me

mm thats why im going going to buy any til i go through all the small print of everyone i like the look of ...

ooooooo i was gonna ask you all something but now forgot ..... ermmmm ......... nope its gone .... damn memory of a fish ... ooo remembered it now .. do any of you have say 2 different accounts ei one for bills one for spending money? and if so does it work alright? x

money_maker_3

I do, always have, well actually I now have 3, but thats just cuz of me wanting to keep my ebay sales separate
We have all money earned, so my wages, CTC, CB, incapacity benefit, etc.. all into one and enough is then transferred from this to the bill account and what is left is ours.
The bill account has everything coming out of it, including our savings and pensions etc.. so there is nothing to come out of our money account other than food and treats.
Although there really isnt much in our money account !!

searching_me

thanks mm im thinking of opening another account to do the same .. i need to get out of my overdraft and after speaking to the woman in a&l she hasnt given me much faith in a transfer .. would i be able to open another account at the same bank or do you think its wise to open one in another bank? x

Must admit I got into the habit of ASKING her what she wanted to eat (because everyone likes choices right?) and you are like:

Keira, do you want toast?
No
Do you want a yoghurt?
No
How about some weetabix?
No

...on and on. I find if I just go and peel an apple, slice it up, some banana, strawberrys etc, and just plop it in front of her she will eat it, but give her a choice and she refuses.

That sounds like Charlotte!

It's easier if I just tell her what she's getting or offer a choice where she has to pick something like "do you want a yoghurt or a banana?"

The worst thing is like when we're rushing out and I say "are you going to come and put your coat on?" She says "no" and I'm left stood with the coat looking like a numpty If I just say "come and put your coat on now" she just does it. I call her contrary Mary, but she gets cross and says "Charlotte doesn't like contrary Mary" :rotfl:

Still trying to get her to pick a nice name for her rag doll, but she's still called Dolly Chicken Eyes at the moment :rolleyes:
