    I see it now... I don't even get to know which horse it is till later. I'm bound to pick the right one, but not to have played a bet on it, and therefore win nothing. I feel like predicting the winner - but it's sods law and bound to come in unless I go down the bookies and bet on it. If I do go and put a bet on, it's bound then not to win.

    I'm rambling and going round in circles, but I will of course be watching the National later and setting aside something for charity.
    Well just tell me it, and I will win on it ;)

    lol, you somehow managed to delete your own horse there FC, so I will add it back for you because I am too kind!

    Okay, sweepstake on the national..
    There are 40 horses at the moment, all of these horses have been numbered randomly by myself, and the list sent to another forum member to scrutinise.
    What happens is you pledge a pound (or more) and the 'owner' of the winning horse chooses a charity for the donations to be paid too. You then pay your 'stake' to that charity through the just giving website, I will give the link after the race, for the charity has been chosen. If this all goes tits up, please dont blame me, it is late
    If you want to pledge, copy and paste the list, and add your name and these instructions please.

    I will take any horses left at a pound each. We hope to release the list of the horses you have chosen just before the race, to get you more excited!

    Boo:mad:, a line of red on the Sada side of the comparison. Hang on a minute, I don't even remember getting any Beef Broth Soup!! Another non-perfect shop. The only price not in red is the price on the Sada side for the Cream of Chicken soup. At least W were cheaper or same price on every item, I suppose...

    Why £4.66?

    natwest isa was shut already.

    Faster payments take longer with first payments, estimated delivery is 8 april. So can't send from my bank.


    Existing isas all consolidated to one provider who hasn't got any on offer at the moment.

    Offset mortgage with someone who has a good rate for 2013-14, but nothing for today.

    :j after 107 minutes on hold, finally got through. Payment made. :j

    staff must be on overtime.

    Yeah but she hangs out in Tosco with the boys so they would know if she had posted a photo of another persons legs;)
    No we recognised her legs. We stood in the entrance checking out every single womans legs as they walked in and that was for quite a while we did a thorough job :D and recognised them ;)
