    If I say they're better than a well known brand of quilted ones that features a baby and trees in their ads would that mean anything?

    Can't actually remember what they're bloomin well called!

    I miss our HomeB's and FarmF's since we moved. We have them but they are quite a bit further away now so we'll have to 'make a day of it' unlike before when they were both under a mile away..

    sadly no tilly up's to be done today :( ... not to worry they will happen soon enough,

    have transferred my current account into a new type of account that will bring us interest :)

    have also started the process of opening a halifax account (or3) they cant accept mine currently as i have multiple profiles so i have to go to the local BOS with proof of who i am and get them to merge the profiles firstly, they also stated that we get £100 for transferring our banking to them ( we will see if this happens though)

    i have to find a couple of savings accounts that i can get some direct debits ordered for so that i can have the minimum required to open the halifax accounts but will take my time with these

    thats about all i have to do just now but will get on top of the rest just shortly

    Hi there, thought I'd pop by. You are doing really well. Obviously haven't read whole thing, but am I right in understanding you want to do a charity run walk this year too?

    I'm determined to do one this year, even if I have to crawl!

    hi 365 thanks for popping by :)

    i do plan in doing a walk/run this year most deff... not sure if i want to do it for a charity though , nothing agaisnt charity and i know it is important that they get all the help they can get... but i want to do this for me ...i want to be selfish in a few things in life...

    i do alot for charity , i work for a charity i donate alot to charity ... just for once i want to do something purely for me ... for the pleasure of pleasing myself ... this obviously may change though lol

    who would you like to run for ?

    and would you care to join in preparing for doing it ?
