    Evening all

    I haven't posted in a little while and the potting has been slow. Managed to stay within my weekly budget by a whisker after food shopping yesterday - providing I don't spend anything else before Friday. I have a grand total of 23p to last until Friday so I may as well pot it now!

    Getting pretty nervous now about my op on Monday, I keep thinking 'Maybe I will get better if I wait a bit longer...'! I keep being told not to worry and I wish I could stop myself being scared but don't know how :(


    Hi LJANEYR

    Wish I could come up with some wise words that would help but not that clever so here are some (((HUGS))) and we all will be thinking of you

  • I've had a look. I'm currently with barclays (who never appear in the mse e-mail but i have been with them since i was 16 and i feel safe with them lol). I'll just have to see what they say i guess.

    Thank you so much for your help though :)

    Unfortunately banks are not loyal to their existing customers. If your bank cannot match what is on offer elsewhere, move. New year, new bank, more money :D

  • £3.15 to add to the pot! It's building up nicely! I think it's gotten full so quick because most of the coins are coppers lol.

    I think when the tin gets full I will put the amount into a savings account and buy the bigger tine next time. I will add the total to my signature though.
