Sort of flying related...

Just double checking our accounts for the end of the month and I have a question. I have a direct debit that goes out on the 29th of the month, when will it go out this month? I was getting ready to move some money over to make sure I could cover it but don't know if it goes on the 28th or the 1st.

I think it could go either date, they could call for it early so if you think it would make you overdrawn it would be safer to move the money over.

Thanks LW, just checked my online banking but it doesn't show all my outgoings. I get paid on 28th anyway so will be ok but am going to transfer some over just in case.

usually the terms of a DD agreement say on or after (date); this covers the DDs which may fall due on a weekend as Saturdays and Sundays (and Bank Holidays) are NOT banking days.

It depends on the terms in the specific agreement

OMG Rhys has me tortured, he's been in the coal bag, brought half of all toys up, got a bag of crisps open and throw round the livingroom floor, romote throw across the livingroom and now minus batteries. He's now very happily putting toys into every kitchen cupboard.......it must be bedtime......other kids killing eachother and hubby is away..........I give up for now....:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Wm on again as well as td. Dw just finished and i'm doing nothing until there all in bed.

vanilla deep breath & (((hugs))).. make them tidy up their own mess as much as possible, get them into bed as soon as possible, and then sit down with wine/cuppa/gin - whatever is a treat. You deserve it. Do NOTHING this evening apart from spoil yourself. That's an order!!

xx_Jo_xx lovely pictures of Asbo-Dog; I was worried that he was no longer with us, but I see he's brightening up your Mum's life, so that's wonderful. They sure do make it worth getting out of bed in the mornings – I find it much easier when I've got a canine house-guest.:) Ooh, and re moving in with OH – based on my own experience – GO FOR IT!! Best thing I ever did was moving in with Mr LW.;)

It sounds like Mr LW is really good to you - im glad hes looking after you Re Asbo, and Grateful's documentary that she mentioned - i totally believe that he does her the world of good. Not just for the companionship, which is fab for her, but she has to go out for a walk etc...

Congrats Jo what a big step it is tho, you're braver than me lol

About 5 years ago, I decided to move from scotland to wales....two weeks later I was in a van with all my stuff

Its different now that little one is older and at school now, he hadnt started school back then, and now I want to distrupt him as little as possible! But I know it can be done :cool:


I have noticed I can only quote so many at a time so i need to go back again.... too much for my little brain to remember in one go!

You are allowed to put them to bed early then.

Thanks for joining me, LW. After about 40 minutes (and DS2's help) the LR looks a bit better. Most of te floor is clear (just a few corners left) and has been hoovered. Sofa and one chair is clear, but I need to move the mountain of washing from the other chair. Lots of hotspots left, but maybe I'll have the motivation to carry on.

No sign of small cat yet, so the vet visit will probably have to wait until tomorrow.

ETA (((hugs))) vanilla. It might sound funny, but it definitely won't be for you. Take a deep breath, have a cuppa and stick them in bed. x
