I am gonna open a bank yeah , how long did it take ? do you receive anything in the post as i probably haven't got time now!
Thanks Kat and like apple muncher said can we have your blog name as you state others have posted comments but i have never seen itx
Hello hun - I did it online and had a call from a UK rep within a day or so. He gave me a customer number and a pin to set up online banking.
I transferred the money on the 26th, it showed up as "gone" on the 27th and I am hoping it will appear in the account in Oz by tomorrow. My bank is specific with this and very good, nationwide weren't as easy so I didn't use them. I was charged £28 in with my NI bank, Nationwide are £20.
I honestly can't remember anything coming in the post. It's not to late.

Hey NSK. Glad to see I made you smile. I didn't mean it in a negative way, I just felt I should be honest and it is what I thought.
Just finished reading the whole thing (well, what is there so far). It's brilliant and really easy to read.
The only thing is that I think you missed a word under one of the pictures (the second one in the beauty section). I am not sure what word but it kinda doesn't read right.
:undecided
The whole blog is well written and I was quite disappointed when I found I had read it all.
Good luck with your travels and I look forward to lurking on your blog.Mortgage: £0/£80,329.91

Thank you for spotting that! I left out a word! Muppet. I had written something and changed it last minute so missed out the vital word that made it make sense -
I appreciate your comments I really do. I am spending more time tonight on articles but with everything else that needs done it's not happening very fast!:o:o:o I just don't want to rush it either...
Thank you for reading everything though..:)“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Hi Kat
I'm a long time lurker too and am jealous of your travels. Mainly because I went away in February this year and have been travelling on and off since then. I have loved every single minute and you are going to have an absolute ball.
Best of luck along the way - remember not to rush places and take time to soak things up!0
