    i'm just the same, i get giddy cos i can get my washing out, and i'm also hoping i can spot a B&Q bank holiday offer so we can go and get some corrogated plastic to make a bigger 'roof' over our patio doors.

    Just been into hsbc they have a coin sorter you dont need to bag anything up it just counts it and puts it into your account. DS was so impressed he has offered to take coins on a regular basis.
    Hope your all having a good day

    not fair! why don't i bank with HSBC?
    i keep being tempted to take the can opener to my 10p tin, i keep saying that i'm saving them up for when i get my sausage dog, but that's gonna be a long time in the future. I can find things to do with the money in there, we're going away for a week at the end of the month and it would be good spending money, or i'd love to pay some more off my debts.... i just can't bring myself to open it though, much as i want to.
