    Wow KC that must have been some isa if you've lost 2k of interest in 6 months! Any hints on where that one is. I've a 1 and 2 year fix coming off in April plus this years plus next still find homes for. It all gets very confusing some days.

    :o:o sorry, the interest *on* £2k, over 6 months, which is about £20 ... I'm not going bankrupt over this one ... :rotfl:

    Hi Lou,

    Sorry it was pants. We didn't sit down to lunch til well after 2pm. And the rain was bouncing...not an outside day.

    Boo to M&S...maybe a stiffly worded email?

    And I thought you'd found the Holy ISA Grail there or had squillions cashed. It's so not worth it at the moment but I keep thinking if the rates do rise in the future at least that money will attract the benefit.

    One days we shall all be rich...we will, we will, we will :j

    I have been stupid tired all day today. Fell asleep on couch and was sent to bed by SB. That's bad :o

    I've made a pot of soup (spoon stands up in middle so proper soup) and filled the slow cooker with huge amount of chilli. Also taken some chicken out of freezer and will make chicken pie while working from home tomorrow.

    Hope is between pie, soup and chilli we'll have enough dinner to do til Tuesday / Wednesday which makes night school easier to plan to.

    Also have packet of sausage in fridge which tbh as pretty yeugh. Bought 2 (well known brand) and cooked first one in oven, there was a centimeter of fat in the dish...yuck and double yuck. So I'll grill these to drain all the fat off and make sausage sarnies. No way I can put that into a casserole. I'd be as well munching lard. (Feeling well sick now...shut up me...:()

    I've a call with my boss first thing but haven't progressed project far as have actually been busy last couple of days. So early start and I'll do some catch up first thing.

    Sausage sounds dire.

    Not good Beanie...and very popular brand. I was trying to be MSE and I usually buy the nice one's with leek or chilli or whatever. These are bog (and I now know bog) standard.

    Gave most of last lot to the hound so see if I can grill them decent tomorrow, if not, happy puppy day!!
