    Good luck with the wedding planning, Calfuray.

    What is it that you are supplying to the IVA customer for £85pm, and why does it make any difference whether it's paid by DD or invoice???

    Thanks :)

    I work in a call centre for a certain satellite television company shall we say. He was mumbling on about not being able to have money going out of bank account as it would be traceable, but invoice he pays in cash, and therefore IVA people won't see it on bank statements...

    I didn't really know what to say! Just mumbled back that I would send out an invoice slip! If I opened my mouth to say anything else I'd prob be fired :/

    Also, can I make a request Lois, which you can take into consideration? :D:o

    Ummm, of course. Request away. I guess I can promise to consider without that committing me to saying yes before I know what it is. ;)

    I think you should change family loans back to orangey/yellow because it looks nicer and because they aren't as bad as mortgage debt (and because it bugs my OCD)

    I agree. Should not be the same as mortgage debt :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Thanks both of you. I've changed it.

    What I didn't like before was that the ISA and EF were orange (which looked too much like debt) and the family loans were blue, which ought to have been a positive, savings-related, in-the-black kind of thing. So now I've got the family loans in orange, so the colour is related to the mortgage debt colour, but a lesser version.

    Does that make everyone's OCD feel OK? I am feeling happy and relieved that I hadn't done anything to offend anybody, and nobody wants to ask me to do anything v time consuming or difficult or illegal or immoral or anything. Instead I got a lovely suggestion that's improved my sig. :)

    Thanks Calfuray. You are so encouraging. :T

    Notice too that ISA and EF are both blue, and equity (also a positive, but different) is green. I put quite a bit of thought into it. Perhaps it would be better if I put less effort into redesigning my sig and more into getting myself and my kids ready for school tomorrow. :(

    Bah, it's only 7.30. Plenty of time.

    I love how much thought you put in, and your reasonings are very good. Think I may have to change mine now :o
