A few years ago, during an extended-family holiday in Cumbria, we decided to get a takeaway from the little local Chinese takeaway (in Millom). It was a Monday evening. Me and BiL went to get it, gave them our order (for twelve people) - this was about 7 o'clock. They told us the order would be ready at 8 o'clock ... on Wednesday:eek:
They obviously weren't used to dealing with large orders:rotfl:

Thats funny:rotfl::rotfl:

Remember, reject everything they promote towards you and go for something else and you'll be quids in:money:.

Such as avoiding that 'special offer' Salmon and going for the other one (if doing the right comp.;)).

I ignored the £1.57 Crunchy Nut and other offers in my Sains store tonight. Svs A done, now off to A for my Sains. shopping!:rotfl::rotfl:

Good luck to one and all! See you soon!:):)

Is anyone in Sada at the minute?

Not yet. And to be fair I probably won't get there in time to be back and post tonight. Is there anything you want me to look for?:) Maybe for tomorrow, if I go to A at all tonight - just pondering - might just go tomorrow.:)

Yes indeed. ISA rates are so poor at the moment, that some current accounts even after the tax (if you aren't exempt from that) can be better interest rate. ISA could be used as 'back-stop', to mop up any money left after you've reached the maximum amount you can get interest on in these current accounts. Nationwide Flex Direct is £2,500 - beyond which no interest is paid:(. Need to follow certain terms, deposit certain amount each money (which can then be moved). 5% rate only applies for first year. I'm coming near to the end of my year on that, so I've moved some (above £2500) into Yorkshire Bank (4% interest rate - taking a dip on that:( after the Nationwide rate goes right down but still probably better than most ISAs). No £100 bonus money for switching though. The rest will go after the Nationwide rate drops. May depend where you are in the country - I had to go into a [Yorkshire Bank] branch even after applying online.

Nationwide have written to me - my 5% rate is ending soon but 'will still be one of the best rates around'. About 1% I think. I think not...:(:( Money will go from the account as soon as it can. That said, I also have a Flex only ISA (think that is/was (must check again!:D:D) a 'good' rate compared to what else is available) - don't know(:o:o) if they've tied me in to keeping a Flex Direct open - but you can bet I'll have left in there whatever the absolute minimum I can get away with is if so.

Ive got a santander 123 account which my direct debits go out of.They give me discounts of 3% on phone bills,2% on gas and electric and 1% on council tax and water.I keep this topped up to£20000 to get 3% interest on the balance.

You got the wrong panther wafers, you need the CHOCOLATE PANTHER WAFERS as the trigger.

hth

Aren't they McVities ones (Choc Pink Panther Wafers) as well, not Rivington's ones? Not that I know too much on this trigger - only lucky I picked right one. It's the Chocolate Pink Panther Wafers needed - not the plain Pink Wafers ones but the Pink Wafers Chocolate something?

The thing was, we did go back on the Wednesday to collect it:)
(We made other arrangements on the Monday to eat, obviously.)
It was delicious, too - well worth waiting for.
I often find that the best Chinese food is from these little out-of-the-way places, where they are the only Chinese takeaway for miles around. You'd think it would be the opposite, really - the best food being in big cities where there is lots of competition.
