    Only last week I took about 10 packs of Finish Quantumatic (bought free with coupons 2 years back) to the charity shop. May be I should have offered them here.

    Banking done. No-one has paid vast sums into my accounts overnight :(. Almost as bad, no-one has taken money out, so no pennies for a Tilly Tidy :eek:.

    Happy Monday everyone. Am off for a meeting with a Lord in one of his London clubs, what's your day got in store :rotfl:.

    Bad things today:
    Thought I had holidays booked for SW but has none left so had to fork out £15 :(.
    Tried and failed to log onto overseas bank account at weekend (when I rescued passport from Room of Doom). No-one available on phone when I rang at weekend. Got through today and got logged on
    to discover had gone OD today and small DD rejected. Have sent money over but no idea what will happen. Oops :(.
