Hi Badger :hello:

Just read through your diary, loving the coffee and Herman talk! :rotfl:

I've yet to open a new b/a for any kind of incentive.. maybe I should? I'm a bit set in my ways with all my accounts with one company (no debts mind), where they are all neat and I can see them all at once online. Maybe it's time to shake things up?

Good afternoon

Oh rising you poor thing here have a cup and for you too Sista

Well SF lots of pretty things have been swimming around my head with little "buy me" tags on them... but I put my sensible hat on and I'm going to pay it off one of the CCs.

Hi Meow
I'm not one for switching usually either. I only changed from Santander because I was getting fed up of the OD charges which I knew was my own fault but it just seemed silly to me that the charge would be the same whether I was £1500 OD or £500 OD and I found their customer service pretty rubbish.
When I saw the Halifax offer I thought I'd give it ago even though it's not my main account, a free fiver a month for a couple of minutes on internet banking sounds good to me;) I had a LTSB account that I didn't use apart from for paypal so I switched a couple of DDs to that first then used that for the £100. Probably a little bit cheeky but hey ho

Hello Fae hope you're okay?

I've been a bit grumpy today, so I had a walk to Mr T and bought some coffee as I ran out the other day, while I was there I bought a very delicious but very expensive doughnut , since I've got home I've got a cuppa in me & eaten doughnut and now I'm feeling a bit chirpier

Apart from that and putting a load in the washer I've had a very very lazy day. Will do some housework after I've caught up on here.

Hello,
second night shift tonight
Got in last night and they'd used up all the coffee beans!! Shocking!! It's been filled up again today though.

After a few days of spends I've got a NSD today - number 6 so half way through my target.

Not a lot going on really, was a bit grumpy yesterday because I found a Panasonic breadmaker on the bay of E that ended last night and it was very cheap. Spoke to OH about it and said we haven't really got anywhere to keep it atm and the money would be spent on other things. Which is all true, so I didn't bid on it I know it's a good thing because it would've put me in my OD and it's just buying things like that that has put me in debt in the first place. I would really like one though so I'm going to save a little bit each month, then when we've got the extra worktop in the kitchen there will be somewhere for it to live.

I've just seen that the forum is being closed for maintenance at midnight what am I going to do:rotfl:

Anyway better get some work done

Why not make some bread by hand? I find it's good when you're stressed as you can take it out on the dough!

I have tried a couple of times (well sort of I use the dough hook on my Chef) but I can never get it to rise properly
When I was younger and still lived with DP our old house had an airing cupboard & a real fire to power the heating so I would put the dough in front of that and the bread was lovely.

Glad to hear they filled up the coffee beans

Really hard when you see a bargain, and can't go for it, hopefully there will be an even better bread machine with your name on it, just in time for the extra worktop.

Hope your night shift goes fast for you
