    Sorry but if i was a mum wouldnt allow it, we all had to sit at the table and me and dh always sit at the table:D apart from a sat when we have picky tea.
    Probably old fashioned :o:rotfl:
    Same here. I think it's necessary and instills manners, as well as the art of conversation and social skills. We all sit at the breakfast bar if it's just us four, but at the large table if there are other guests (kitchen diner so only 3 feet away :p). I've even been making tigercub say "please may I leave the table" and she isn't even two. DS just does it and calls it "family dinner". And do you know, I really enjoy it.

    Thanks everyone for the recommendations for anti virus stuff. Ive ran a few and I'm sure as I can be that his computer is as clean as a whistle now. Those programmes did detect quite a few nasties, so he's been clicking on all sorts I think.

    He's feeling very sheepish. So he should be, it might make him think in future. He said he was scared to tell me when he noticed money coming out :o Now I might be scary? But I'm not as scary as someone stealing nearly a grand out of a bank account.......am I? :cool::eek:

    I'm sorry to laugh but FC, I don't think you are scary :o Sometimes things are worse when you let thoughts run away with you, so i assume that's what happened with your OH.. oooops, a very stern lesson he's learned today.

    The good thing about Halifax is their Reward Current Account (as you say).

    And the ease at which you can open Current Accounts. Their application process is simple and Online Banking is pretty good too.



    On the subject of Halifax, I just noticed that there are cashback rewards - but you have to activate the feature within online banking.


    Current offer (until end of month) - 10% cashback on Morrisons shop when you use your Halifax debit card.


    Just done a test out. Spent £61 (£50 of that was 3V) Used £8 WYS £60 MOC. Will be great if I get another £6 cashback. Most of the food I bought will be free anyway (CheckOutSmart Burgers / Volvic / Jammy Dodgers / Ben & Jerry's).
