    Yes you can. We got one with Barclays. Crap credit rating between us but the account has a debit card and an emergency 'overdraft' of £150. Best thing we ever did.

    Thank you :D will be alot easier to have a joint account, since it is a joint DMP and we get paid on different dates.

    Just watching the RSPCA programme on BBC1, beggers belief how people can me so mindlessly cruel to animals:mad:

    Beautiful Great Dane almost starved to death poor thing:( hope Spud isnt watching it!

    I WAS watching, saw in the advert yesterday that she was going to be on. There are no words for the people that would do that to such a magnificent animal. Gorgeous wasnt she, only a few miles from me too ;)

    Lenny, lovely to see you matey. Got to admit, not a clue what you're on about but hope you're keeping well, and Mrs L and the boys are OK :kisses3:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
    Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

    Do you sometimes think this money saving lark has some downsides......

    Bought some Imperial Leather * shower gel because it was half price. I now smell like Desperate Dan's slightly less effeminate friend. Feel like I need another shower just to smell like me!

    gggrrr this really needs to be a week to forget, just beeing contacted by the wife on top of everything else at the moment the wee one has fallen over a couple of times so far today and one4 banged her cheek and now hit her head on the piano, and to add to that one of our fish has died :(

    really not having a good week
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)
