    My overdraft is only on my account because years ago I got a letter from The Abbey now Santander saying I had gone overdrawn on my account by pence and was being charged think it was £25 for letter and something else for being overdrawn by pence :eek: no wonder folk get into debt. Well me being me I panicked.

    Was in The Abbey after I had finished work asking why I had overdrawn. No online banking then. Turned out a DD was due out and bank had taken it out my pay had not gone into my bank account but should have cant remember why now. Bank was so kind put charges back in and said I could have an overdraft.

    I told them I didn't want an overdraft so lady cashier explained it would just sit there and if I was unlucky and went into it by pence again I would have no charges on my account. She wanted to put a large overdraft on but I said no so its £100.

    tweets just watch with the santander overdraft. I got one for £100 when it was the abbey, I went into it overnight about a year ago because my rent had been taken out early for some reason. I thought nothing of it because I'd a free overdraft, or so I thought, until it noticed on my next months statement a £2 overdraft fee. I queried it with my local branch and got told this was the normal daily charge for using the overdraft and should have got the info from when it was taken over. They refunded but it wasn't the point, it should have been made clearer.

  • The beast is now living with a lovely lady who worked in the kennels we'd managed to get him into when I'd gone into hospital. He wasn't coping well with kennel life :(, she felt sorry for him and offered to look after him at home with her boxer to ease his anxiety. Both dogs got on well and are now inseparable, lady knew I'd been looking a new home for him (my mum had told them) and asked could she keep him. I miss him like crazy eventhough he was hard work but I'm happy in the knowledge that he's having a blast and getting everything he needs, everything I couldn't.

    That's good he has a new home and a friend too. I often think of your shattered door pictures and wondered if you were still coping with him. Hubby fell in love with him but there's no way we could cope with a dog that size.

    Just be glad for him & your doors!:o:D

    It's really nice to see you posting again.

    Been meaning to tell this story every time I see the lovely Phyllis.

    I had one just like her. She had lived on an allotment all her life when I got her at 7 year old. I was quite worried about having to keep her in the house for a month so that she wouldn't wander back to where she came from as I thought having never been in a house she would be climbing the walls. Any way after a nervous few days she adapted to her new surroundings and when the month was up I opened the back door and she was so enjoying the central heating lol that she just rolled over and went back to sleep :rotfl:. What a great pet she made.
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.
