Can I join please, not being paid this week from work and having no spare money to see me through until next when when I receive double wages has given me a light bulb moment! (something about two bank holidays in one week and happens every Christmas apparently)I have an 'empty' savings account, which I have renamed EF and it has £3.54 already in it so starting at £3.54
