    'Free' money anyone?

    Noticed it in this week's MSE newsletter.

    Apply for Pockit's pre-paid card (99p); load with £10 and get an extra £5 added to your account.

    No credit check.

    Total spend £10.99; total available on card £15.

    ;)

    Plus 6% cashback at M&S, 2% at RedSpottedHankey and 7% at New Look.

    http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/credit-cards/prepaid-cards#pockit

    I notice they're also on Quidco/TCB, but no reviews about them yet. I'll stick to the MSE deal.

    :)

    It's never really caused me any problems - I was angry that they hadn't trusted me enough to know that they were my 'proper' parents and nothing would ever change that but I never felt that it changed anything about my identity.

    It did explain a few things though - in my teens I was very interested in genetics (Mendel and his perishing peas!) and when I started asking about my parents blood groups (mines one of the less common ones) and checking eye colours etc. several of my genetics books suddenly went missing. I found out that my adoptive brother had got rid of them. Also , up until I was around 6 or 7, we used to go every month to Highgate Cemetary and put flowers on what I was told was my sisters grave. We stopped once I could read - they were afraid I would realise that I couldn't possibly have a sisters just a few months older than me.:)

    My 'handover' was done in Southend and all I know is that my original name was Anne Howard. The baby who died was Carole Wendy and I was given her middle name as my first name and Anne as my middle name.

    I'm sure that things like this were very common then and quite a few of us are not quite who we think we are. God knows how all the family kept a lid on it as everyone knew about it.

    Im very touched reading your story :A and you have an amazing attitude to what happened to you. I am sure you are so right though about a lot of people not being quite who they think they are.

    :)

    Yesterday we put up notices in work to state we would be observing the 2 minute silence.

    No customers at 11am & we stood by our desks in silence.

    11.01 in bustles a customer - starts reciting what she wants to me.

    I point to the notice :shhh:

    She then proceeded to tell me that the silence had finished as she had been to Cenotaph & she wanted serving :mad:

    I :shhh::shhh::shhh::shhh::shhh: again


    When 11.02 arrived I then served her :p
