    Change of bank might be what you need Beanie and all the better if you get one giving a cash bonus for joining - best reason to leave if they are unreliable .

    I had one of those days yesterday, the most trivial, but still annoying thing was to cremate lemon curd onto my muffin tin, should have been lemon curd tarts:mad: At first thought it would have to be thrown away, but put a squirt of washing up liquid and a good shake of soda crystals into each hole and topped up with just boiled water, left for several hours, tipped the gungy water away and OH washed it up and all good to go. I have done this several times with burn pans:o, sometimes takes a couple of goes though. Good luck with your poorly pan.

    Starting our journey to your lovely country on Thursday, any chance you could drum up some nice warm weather please:D

    Sorry to hear about TSB fiasco... Paul Pester sounds contrite (as he should be!) - hopefully the IT folks are being kicked as this is catastrophic. Especially for a challenger bank. We have accounts now with NW and smile. My business account is elsewhere. So it helps spread the pain. I would certainly think about having two as people have suggested, especially if you get a bonus for moving

    Lots of love x

    aving a secondary access to your money is becoming more and more important - this current malaHrkey is horrendous :(

    Fifi boy - at the time, I thought it was a slight typo for Fife boy :)

    Beanie, your pan - if you bring it to the boil with the cola, have you got a silicon kitchen utensil to help the cleaning along?

    This is true.
    This is just dire:mad::mad:
    I also thought was it was a typo~ For Fifer:D
