Haha thanks. I've actually just been trying to avoid to forums for past few days. The whole Iceland situation is just bringing out trouble in this board. Some of the idiot users are just making me angry haha.

Hi,

I have savings with various people including KE. But my cc 0% ends december and I'm wondering whether i should just pay it off now. Cos getting bit concerned with lots of banks being a bit wobbly.

I know I would get savings back but not sure if I would in time to pay the cc?? Am I overreacting?? Am happy to keep savings in KE long term but as I need them fairly soon - little nervous These cc are about £15,000. :eek:

I spent most of yesterday in tears. I've got savings with Icesave and have an ISA in transit from Lloyds to them, which hasn't turned up and is "floating around". I spoke to both Lloyds and Icesave but there's nothing they can do until it's all settled. I've adjusted my savings total to reflect this "lost" money and will re-add it when it turns up (fingers crossed).

It is a worrying time for everyone.

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear about the mess with the banks. :grouphug:

They will sort it I'm sure-just hope it doesn't take too long.
Keep us all updated.

Hi Wanno

May I join in please? This month I have 5,600 in savings and I intend to go on and on and on and on saving... My point for saving is possibly to get back on the housing ladder and buy a property of my own, to go an exotic holiday (say, to India), to afford a few nice presents for my close friends and to save the rest as a nest egg for I when I feel it warrants using it.

Well done on your saving so far - I think you said your goal was 16,000 pounds. Mine was originally 100,000 pounds but I think that it is way too high now :rotfl: (saying to myself right now, 'get a grip girl', lol). However, if I retrain to be a solicitor having done a 'taster' one-year law course already, that may be a possibility - may take a long time though. Perhaps I should aim for about 20,000 pounds for now and see where that leads me...

Best regards
