  • Natwest online banking re-activated. Had to call again for them to sort it so my old log in was wiped. New customer number - what a pain - I have had the other one for years.

  • Did you have your account blocked because of a suspected virus as well? They started going on about the card reader (something I've never used) and it didn't quite make sense as to why they thought a virus was to blame but just that it had tried to access my account and for whatever reason their system didn't like it.

    There's only £7 odd in there so it wouldn't have been much of a haul!!

  • I have nothing of financial interest to report!!

    So instead I'll bore you all and say I'm going to lose 3.5 pounds this week. Been giving myself a good talking to for the last week or so and have just about got myself motivated to try (yet again) to lose some weight. I've chosen 3.5 pounds as I am x stone 3.5 pounds and want to chop that bit first.

    Mullerlights at the ready.........

  • ta sal. Day lunchtime and not fallen off the wagon yet.

    Rubbish morning. I know that the reason I went for this morning job was because my head was so fooked after the Cruella era but now I need a new morning job. I am sick of being a gofer. I don't aspire to being a top manager but my head is better now with regards to work and what I can now do and I urgently need out of my morning job. I just wish my afternoon job was all day :(

    I guess that's a positive thing though if you think back to how messed up I was..............
