Be prepared to wait an age for money from Yorkshire - I started the paperwork mid November account was finally opened January, switch completed early Jan, funded with switch credit, now waiting for the incentive, it's a pain in comparison to the other accounts I hold....
I have 2 x Halifec accounts both paying £5
TSBE account 5% on 2k
TESCOW account 3% on upto 3k
123 account 2% on 2k
Clydes account 2% £150 incentive
Nation account 5% in 2.5k.
My only shame was I closed a MS account to get £150 the day after switxh I get letter saying l qualify for 6% regular saver as I have a current acc but I don't now as its closed, and I don't qualify for FD one as I don't get a current acc with them. Im looking for a new incentive as my OD has been pulled on my smile account and will now cost me £39 a month...
Sounds a lot but gain about £29 a month in interest not including any cashback from quid, or TCB, or 123/HFX rewards....
Once I get back to work after my operation things will get easier...
I've not had Yorkshires for a long time, fancy some now reading your post Lilty, hope Jelly wakes up better and its not too early start for you...I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Banking & Borrowing, and Reduce Debt & Boost Income boards.

Billie... & Lucky
love you guys. So do you!!
Forgot to mention I moved a gigantic cardboard box full to the brim with stuff I need to sell/declutter (yes that is right, I declutter into a box...) into a cupboard. Out of sight, out of mind but at one point I was actually balancing a seriously heavy box on my HEAD! Something slipped in the cupboard and I just could not get the box in! Cue Hulk style war cry and throwing half a tonne of stuff on the kitchen floor in a strop. Got it in though finally :rotfl:
Wonder if I can divert some of my free council tax money to an £18 mug? Hmm..

Hey Lilt
Sounds like a pretty productive time with the stocking up and the cleaning and the sorting !Sorry Jelly is still not fully herself , I guess she will sleep as much as she needs and the anti-Bs could be making her extra sleepy as the infection is being fought - along with the cheese incident - I presume she allergic to dairy?
You make epic dinners... poor Jels for missing out on that one! . We had pizza tonight and indeed the rest of it for our packed lunches tomorrow.. feeling so thrifty! Have a good day tomorrow. Love.. Levi ..x- on a mission to be debt-free by the end of 2017 - :cool:

Levi my lunch was leftover pizza from a hutlike place around the corner. And definitely not MSE :eek: at £27 for 2 pizzas and some side bits. However when you think it was 2 dinners and one lunch for 2 people that makes a difference... right?
Nope. Naughty step for Lilty. January saw at least 2 takeaways. I should make more epic dinners. :rotfl:
I think she is fighting a rather nasty ear infection and struggling with it badly, so hoping the anti-b's sort it a bit more by tomorrowyes she is very allergic to dairy. The slightest bit of any kind of dairy is enough to mess her tummy up for days. A bit more and we get todays incident. This nursery has been fat better than the last one though!
All of my days are productiveI am not really a sit still and do nothing kinda girl. Neither is Jelly :rotfl:
Have a lovely day tomorrow!!! x

Ohai lilt d lilt! Sorry to hear Jellys not well ;( hopefully she'll be better today. Did you sign up to the energy savers club on here? I did mine back in dec and just got my £30 cashback, plus e.on (who I switched to) give reward points monthly which are payable to Mr T points = £5 rewards turns into £10 during boost season. Guna get me a new oven tray
lmao.
Also, as a serious hoarder with a box full of books in her pressie box, perhaps you can through some suggestions of books for Jelly?! :P Then I shall bring some with me!
Much love

Haha hello lurkdiddylurk!!
I may need to send you a list of the ones I have bought & hope we don't clash!!mine are for now though!! All books are welcome. I'm just going down the rhyming route as there is only 1 book she will sit down for and it was free from nursery!
About energy, I switched to FU in October on a long deal saving myself £300 a year in costs and getting £52.50 cash backcan't switch til 2016! Really like where I am though and waiting for my credit to hit the account
In other news Jelly is still asleep!!!lol!

Haha, send away! I have far too much stuff anyway
Good news on the energy account, i knew you'd have some kind of deal. Apparently i owe £800 on my electric thanks to putting the wrong meter readings in
haha.
Glad she stayed asleep, Mia munchkin awoke every 2 hrs last night ;( I must be mad..0 -
wow lilt you and jelly have been busy, sorry she is still poorly. I often find that if you are poorly with one thing you are more likely to catch lots more! Hope this is the last for her though x
