In case it is of use in the future...with first direct the way to see your available balance as opposed to just balance -
From the home screen of current account click on 'make payment' it should then show your balance and also available balance.
I use this all the time to check my actual balance.
I know you prob don't need that for the tilly tidies as any further change in balance just enables another tidy...but thought it might be of interest for the future!!

Woop woop woop
February menu plan complete and looks like we can continue to run the freezer down for the first three weeks in February, then it's back to normal shopping.
Freezer sorted and new inventory completed but I didn't defrost the freezer. I was late back from work and frankly too tired to do it.
I'm now sat on the sofa and Mr T is making a cuppa :T

Morning 40p a/c tidy OP
Weather is dreadful so Mr T is walking the dogs later. I thought we might lose fence panels in the night so going to peer out and see
Dinner this evening is HM pizza using some naan bread mix, which I bought from AF. Came with an awful gunky coriander sauce which I will throw away. I have quite a few bits to use up as toppings so should be fine.
I would say that our menu is not as interesting as normal but that's due to using up the @dds and s@ds from the freezer and larder.
No more updates, apart from this evening, we are planning our holidays for 2013 :T. Mr T and I are going to have a holiday on our own as well :j. I cannot believe our kids are now old enough to be left for a long weekend. Fortunately DD is extremely capable and organised so I don't have to worry about wild parties - famous last words, feel free to remind me of them in months to come
Friday tomorrow and the weekend starts again - boy these weeks are racing. Have I mentioned the house is empty without our lodger

Don't worry Tilly, we'll keep an eye on them. Or is that what you're worried about :whistle::whistle::whistle:. Yay to planning holidays :T.

Evening, two holidays to Portugal booked - fortunately being able to work from home can be a blessing at times - so some will be work, some holiday
Mr T is investigating long weekend breaks for the two of us - I quite fancy Marrakech.
We need a long weekend in Portugal early summer as well as we have a party to attend.
Lovely to have things to look forward to.
Now I need to do more lodger hunting and thank goodness for savings pots
