    Fab news mhoc :T

    Love the quilt Emma.

    Karlie I only have £2k total that I could play around with. Can I open the TSB account with £1500 and earn the interest on that, sending the other £500 back and forth each month, or do I have to keep the full £2k in the account all the time to get the interest? Sorry if a dim question, I just can't quite get my head round it. TIA

    I think all three of mine enjoy a dangerous lifestyle.

    In order of worry

    1 Eldest daughter works in central London - random stabbings in the next street to where she works, no control over these things
    2 Youngest son - climbs mountains for a living but at least he is well trained and competent
    3 Eldest son - army but at least he has a concrete bunker to go to

    All my kids have extreme hobbies, kayaking and climbing being the most nail biting for me! DS1 lives in the middle east, we (OH and me) also put together an escape plan .... just in case! DS1 thinks we are loony, I think he was right when we sent him a sea kayak when he was in Qatar! The reason being was the US had lined up their war ships about 2.5 years ago!

    DS3's job is with explosives. I have to admit I only worry about DS1, as it is beyond my/his control!

    Afternoon all :wave:

    mhoc that's great news :T

    My nephew did his 1st 6month tour with the Welsh Guards a week after his 18th birthday :eek: My brother and SIL were on edge the whole time. And he had to do a 2nd tour a couple of years later. Such a relief for him to get home
    OMG you must be so relieved Today is the 2nd anniversary of my BIL death whilst serving in Afghanistan. I'm banning DS from joining. My sister has barely survived his loss.

    Your poor sis :(:A

    Yes that's ok.

    But why not leave the £2k in the account all the time? You can then transfer the £500 out to another current account and send it back to the TSB account on the same day; within the same minute.

    ;)

    That way you're earning 5% AER interest on £2k for the full calendar month; and you still have access to your money for when you need it.

    :D

    Afternoon:)and what a lovely one it is ,the sun is shining the birds are singing and everything in the garden is peeping through:TI just wish I could muster up enough energy to cut the lawn and get rid of all those daisies.
    Went to T's with DDLala and used a fare few moc's from the April mag.60p off plenty which has an extra roll in it =3rolls for£1-26 using moc, plus Velvet t rolls 4pack=60pmoc and they are £3 for 2packs using 2moc's=£1-80for 2packs
    Hope this makes sense:eek:if not I will blame it on the medication;)
