  • I am still here, checking in every day hope everyone is ok. I had a great time in Spain but it was really too hot for me. Planning next trip hopefully September as long as BA don't strike again, should find out next week. Always fly with them as ex staff and get good deals, got to keep up the mse habit. Still if they strike I won't be spending anything!!!

    Glad to see you post again Mike.
    yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift thats why its called the present ;)

    Hi peeps.:j

    It's awfully quiet on here; hope people are all well.

    Mike, hope the house is keeping you sane and warm.

    What's occurring?

    I did something really silly yesterday... any feedback most welcome. :mad:

    On a Moneysaving quest (with my MoneySaving head screwed on), I decided it was time to try and become debt- free once and for all.:money: I went to get some of my money out of my ISA account with a view to clearing my loan (my only debt left, I think!). I only went and told the teller the wrong account number to transfer the ££££ to (due to dementia)... thankfully I was anal enough to go to my bank (RBS, boo hiss) to double- check my account details, and that was where the penny dropped. I literally almost s*at my pants. I then had to dash back to the other bank and ask the chap to rectify the problem. So glad I had checked!!!!

    I think I am going senile; anybody else have these problems, or is it just me????

    :eek:
    :mad: Hindsight is a wonderful thing...
    :j One of Mike's Mob! yea!!!
    F
    inally settled full balance of RBS personal loan ahead of schedule on 10th August 2010 :money:





    DEBT FREE AT LAST... BUT FOR HOW LONG?! :eek:
