    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Guess that's the end of my 500 calorie day then :o

    Hm... that's not a great start to a fast. Remember, you can always have it tomorrow. That's on top of today, of course.:D

    This is completely childish, but possibly MSE, on another forum, we have been kept amused by this

    My advice to the kids is to do what they are:

    1. Interested in
    2. Can make a living at

    In the end they are going to want to enjoy work but also make money.

    I don't know... if I ever have any kids, I think what I'd tell them is [STRIKE]the important thing is not to get caught.[/STRIKE] no choice is final. It's a good idea to assume that whatever you're doing today isn't what you're going to be doing in ten years time.

    It's good to plan for that, even.

    I just want to buy that so I can write an Amazon Verified Purchaser review. That's my excuse.

    .

    I like that theory.

    I could have gone to uni, chose not to, never regretted it, left college and became a forklift driver. Money was never the main motivator for me and I'd still rather be doing what I am doing now, which brings me a reasonable salary but not huge, and enjoying it ( mostly).

    Faster payments are good. With a bit of research you can find out how much the limit for the particular bank/ building society to keep it sent as a FP.
    Already done (lloyds are 25k, tesco up to 100k via telephone...);)
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
