    Thanks Jambosans, I am kicking myself we haven't done this sooner

    Tiff you're absolutely right, I'm trying to pay our overdrafts off, at the minute I am juggling between 3 x 0% credit cards, 1 other credit card and 5 bank accounts :eek: to maximise the free stuff (2 new A&L fee free overdrafts). Tis very confusing but hope to missively reduce the interest and fees we are paying and have the huge overdrafts paid off by Christmas...

    and then... no going back...

    *grits teeth determinedly*

    Good luck Banwa, I have been there too. Sounds like you've got it all in hand.

  • Even though the advert sucks, I'd happily give Halifax a "high five" for all the fivers they're giving me... I just cycle my salary from my Lloyds account into Halifax account 1, then account 2, then account 3, and back to Lloyds again. £15 a month free for me :)

    I just transfer £1000 across on the evening after payday from Natwest, then back again.

    £5 for 5 minutes work.
