    Sake!  It never rains but it pours for you 😢
    I bank with Bank of Scotland but the app is the same as Halifax.  I agree with SA, so easy! 
    Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
    Mortgage today = £161,690.76
    300 271 payments to go.
    House buyout fund £21,000/£40,000

    Sorry to hear of your banking woes. The ring sounds lovely :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 800/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100

    Rubbish about the falls and banking agro. I use Halifax on line (I won’t have any banking app on my phone as it scares me in case I loose it) and it’s a really easy website with sensible security procedures I can actually remember……👍

    Hi Beanie!  Good to hear you had your flu jab - I've not heard anything yet - I'll check on the GP website next week.  And heavens, your car fiasco got sorted!  Very good news, and I love the idea of the silver ring, hand made locally, thats really gorgeous.

    Hope you’re feeling better after your rest. I’ve got my flu jab this week, need to check if it’s Tuesday or Wednesday.
    The ring sounds lovely. Glad you got something for yourself. It’s so easy to let birthday gifts go into the household pot.

    I can’t remember the last time I had money for my birthday, probably when my mum was still alive 21 years ago. I buy my own present from Mr SA, bottle of wine from DS and bottle of gin from DD. 
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
