Dinah - I bank with Natwest and I personally really like them and have found their customer service to be good.

Afternoon all.

Dinah, I did a mystery shop to Barclays to open a fictional business account, I'm not normally a fan but they were fantastic, came up with some reat ideas and were very enthusiastic.


What 4x4 did you go for in the end?

My first single was the Wombles:rotfl:thats sooooooooo bad isn't it??:eek: 2nd was the 'GhostBusters' theme....hmm have to say my taste in music hasn't improved much over the years:rotfl:

I'm loving the look of that cake!

It's lovely to have another fast moving thread.

Good luck everyone

Guessing it's a typo but you've come over all Yorkshire there TPA

I'm a full on Abbey girl (or should that be Santander now??) when it comes to banks, so I really can't help you there Dinah!!

Went to Ikea today to get all the little bits we need, as well as our wardrobe and drawers. But I'm feeling stupidly broody after looking at all the kid stuff they have, OH had the right idea last weekend dragging me past but my Mum is terrible and now I want a Little Ralph!

One step at a time love. A week ago you felt too young to be moving out, enjoy spending some time setting up your home and growing into this new stage of your relationship before you make tiny people. I think there is a fair few of us on here now who're a bit gooey when walking through the little people section in the supermarket, but waiting for various reasons so you're by no means alone.

As you may have guessed we have something of a pumpkin situation! So we're turning them into lots of food and gifts so they don't get wasted.

Only have a few hours as big family sunday lunch as usual, which means we leave at 4ish. Best get cracking.

Haha did seem a lot of pumpkin recipes! Hope you manage as much as poss.

Cinny - i agree with Dinah, enjoy living with your OH and getting all the house all done up nicely first. Can't blame you for feeling broody though ;-)

I went to a haloween party at OHs nieces yesterday afternoon, lots of mad kids running everywhere. Certainly let me see what I am in for! OH's Mum said she will get us something for baby so that was nice and think my mum is going to maybe get us travel system next year so saves us some money!

Aye!
Am I the only one not feeling broody - i'm 38 and the broody gene seems to have passed me by? I think I should have been a man! (Not sure hubby would agree though!:eek:)

Dinah what car did you get - see cars n pets i'm intersted in...babies scare me!!

We haven't got one yet - planning to get a Kia Sportage I think, but can't find THE one within a reasonable distance. Thought we had it on Saturday, but the dealer selling it wouldn't agree that if it didn't pass the council's test for roadworthyness (a criteria of the loan) that he would fix the issues or give us the money back. While it seemed like it would pass we walked away, too much hassle. AND he wouldn't let us take it for a test drive without putting down a deposit, which seems wierd to me.

Sounds very dodgy that Dinah! I wouldn't want to give him my money just for being awkward! Hope you manage to get all the pumpkin used up! I was going to make some scary cupcakes complete with fake blood but couldn't be bothered in the end and spent a fiver on penny sweets for the Halloweeners, and we got ... one little boy, from next door. Enough E numbers in the kitchen to probably power the house for a year, if only we culd harness the energy! Well off to pack for my jollies, setting off for the Lakes at 11. Have a good week everyone! x

We had LOADS of trick or treaters last night, OH start getting quite misserble in the end - kept disturbing him on his xbox :rotfl:
I went to bed early to watch Hocus Pocus, cant not watch it on Halloween
