    I wonder if this applies to mine as i smother them in oil and chilli!!!

    I don't like the heavy taste of olive oil and the extra light stuff I hear is refined to such a degree as to make it useless when it comes to being healthy. I saw this and this is what I smother my shrooms with. Any thoughts, comments or suggestions?

    Haven't they got that sorted yet :mad: makes me wonder can we trusts banks at all. Have to be like my grandfather did and kept a tin in the outside lavvy apparently :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Seriously though, this business is real bad news for those that rely on weekly money coming in for their bills and food :mad::mad:

    Nope still not sorted *could* be by friday. Luckily we had some cash under the bed a habit left over from when on benefits (so used to benefits being suspended without warning.) I really feel for those who live week to week and need food, etc... and dont stock pile like the 11+
    Although most big companys are being understanding about direct debits bouncing so thats a weight off.

    Good job you have some cash put by, I wouldn't want to work for the bank just now, the flak they must be taking from angry customers must be immense.

    Oh well, I think I have to admit defeat and head off to bed. I just might set my alarm and get on here early and surprise a few of the early risers :D
    Night all see you tomorow

    Susan and Alan, I hope things are ok for you just now. I see someone posted about getting a hospital bed in, that may make it easier for Alan and for you too.
    Please Susan make sure you eat well and get rest too as you are going to have to be the strong one now. Catch you later sweetie x

    Missed loads today, been pre occupied with this Natwest fiasco! Has anyone else been effected?? :( My account seemed back to normal this morning, only for it to go into minus figures during the afternoon and my cards declined at tesco, no money out the ATM. Hope its sorted soon.

    I was supposed to have money go in to my account (RBS) in the early hours of Friday morning but needless to say it didn't. Between checking my balance for a final time at 9am and calling them at 9:02am the lady I spoke to said it had gone in. I checked my balance and sure enough it had. I'd forgot all about it until I went to check my balance on Monday evening to see that the money was now no longer there. I called them again and was informed that all payments that did appear to get credited to people account for some reason got wiped/took back. I was informed that an overnight re-boot of the system should sort it, but I'm not holding out much hope.:(

    A quick roundup before i rest my weary eyes.....
    Well done Frequent on your new job :beer:
    Bubbs, it is unbelievable the car accident will not be followed up by the police?? I can understand why you are so angry. I hope your whiplash pain eases soon.
    Michjay, I couldnt for the life of me remember the name of the Motor Insurers Bureau and it was really starting to bug me, hopefully they will be able to give Bubbs advise on claiming against an unknown driver.
    bensonsmum, well done for weaning your self off of the cigarettes:T I wish i had your willpower.
    I have been thinking of Auntylala throughout the day.
    Ruxpin, hopefully a good night sleep will help and you will feel better tomorrow.
    Hugs to everyone else that needs them. Goodnight all x

    Neither can I :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    I meant celebrate lol.

    Wheres fudge_cake? I don't think she has started one and has been a great contributor recently and been very supportive. In the absence of 3dogs....FQ....or celebrate, then I reckon cupcake would be an excellent choice.

    Failing that I'll give the Pope a ring :rotfl:

    Yes sir, present Sir :hello::D

    Was catching up.....1000 posts, extremely slow reader, long story :p:o:o:o:o:o:o:o BUT;
