    Now that you've, hopefully, smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)

    Blessed are the cracked: for it is they who let in the light.

  • I had to go shopping tonight to get an outfit for my great uncles funeral (he's my dads uncle so i think thats wwhat relation he is to me)
    My mum brought a black dress for me and I brought a lacy thin long sleeve shrug type thingy to wear. I brought 2 nice smart tops as well incase i had any other unexpected events.

    I hope to pot at least £1 from my shopping trip.
    Also I have a normal bank account and a savings account.
    Is it worth me opening an account to put my emergency savings in as I can't keep affording to pay for dental bills or buying clothes for funreals and i'll have no money if i get fired from my job.

    Is three accounts allowed ? and should i?

    Actually enjoyed the challenge! It's not very mse though, I've had to buy new clothes :rotfl:

    That's not a real hardship though is it, rosy? Winter is on it's way so you needed some anyway :D I bet you look extra lovely now too :)

    Oh sparky! you brought tears of laughter to my eyes tonight although the one about the chainsaw brought tears to my eyes for quite a different reason though :eek::eek: What are you like....:rotfl::rotfl:

    I actually popped in to say I potted a nice shiny 50p which was change from my night out yesterday. All I spent was £2.50 for a nice warming brandy in the interval.
