    Been reading more in the savings board, it seems there are mixed messages about getting the money on more than one n@tionwide account ... Maybe best just one account and play it safe just now ?

    I thought they had all been paid interest on multiple accounts?
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Happy April, everyone - here's hoping its a fabulously successful MSE month for us all!!:T:T:T

    Well, the next few days are going to be manic! And some!!
    Me and OH are flying to Rome on Thursday morning at some ungodly hour and are back next Tuesday mid afternoon. Trying desperately to get everything done and sorted by the end of today as I have a 3 hour meeting tomorrow morning at 9am, 35 miles from home and then straight after, I'm setting up my Group for our 3 sessions. I'll get home about 10:45pm and then I'll have all my admin to send off before I can go to bed, only to be up at 4am to set off for the airport. :eek:Looking forward to it but Strewth, it's going to be full on!!!:cool:

    Costwise, Rome has been paid for for ages, so won't impact upon my current position finances wise. Phew!! Looking forward to it as we SO need a break.:cool:;):cool:

    Thanks Tilly, we fully intend to.
    We're spending two nights in Rome, then taking train to Assisi on Saturday, where we'll spend two nights also. Then back to Rome for Monday night and back home Tuesday.

    I've never been but my three companions have so they'll be able to show me all the good stuff!

    We've got tickets for the St Peter's Tomb too!!:cool:

    In true MSE style, we're staying at a Best Western hotel (sister works for them and we got 15% off the total bill for two doubles 3 nights).:T:T

    I'm so excited!!!:j:j
