    Hi hun, sorry to hear the volcanic ash hit your electric bill too - bah!

    If I was a smidge over/under 10 stone I would be estatic and skinny and maybe even naked!!

    I have been trying to arrange a transfer from my business account (HSBC) to my personal account. Apparently their systems have been down all day so I am unable to make transfer. I have to cover loan repayment due out tomorrow:eek: . They hope the system to be up & running by tomorrow but can't guarantee it :eek::eek::eek::eek:.

    I can really do without this.:( Even worse as DH banks with HSBC I can't transfer from his account to mine:rotfl::rotfl:
