    F F F F Friday :T:T:T

    Nice surprise from Boots testing dept - did a questionnaire about face cream - 4 tubes of serum (over £20 a pop) turned up today :j.

    Finally signed up for FD banking thingy that shows all accounts from elsewhere. Am only 81k overdrawn :rotfl:. Should be 30k extra from one btl mortgage but that is in Mr GG's name doesn't show.

    Just about to cook nice tea but as I may be repeating it next week for someone on here I'm not saying what it is :rotfl:.

    Happy weekend everyone :D

  • Morning GG, glad to hear you've had lovely goodies from B@@ts :)

    Enjoy the weekend, not sure we'll be getting much sun - roll on Spain and Portugal. I think we'll have quite a few laughs when we're there.


    What's the FD banking thingy ?

    Bye Tilly x x

    Had a bottle of conditioner to test 2 weeks ago as well :T.

    Bring on the Mediterranean :j. Want to get some stones to tidy up the front so need to get a move on and get out at 8.30 :o.

    The FD banking thingy is a thingy (technical term :cool:) which lets you see the balances of all bank accounts, on line mortgages etc all on one page. Log in details are stored encrypted and you just log onto FD and can then click on any other account and it logs you in automatically. Great if you have multiple accounts :D.

    Stewed rhubarb for brekkie :T.
