    What I don't understand is why I had to generate a code to send a secure message - but not to transfer money out. So, someone manages to hack in to my account and they're more worried about rude messages than someone stealing the money. Fair enough I suppose, it is MY money :rotfl:.

    Oh dear, a lot of stuff going on right now (all good though, I think!). I need a spreadsheet to keep control of my spreadsheets :rotfl:.

    Hopefully a whole day at home today, unexpected, so that's great :T, no traipsing across London on foot :).

    Em, that's it. No Tilly Tidies, virtual or otherwise :(
