    You excel at plodding Beanie and should get a plodding award :T. I hope an early night helps you to be less tired.

    The only way I know to make money is surveys, I wish I could think of more ways :(. Robbing banks seems tempting sometimes but I would definitely get caught, so I'd better stick to the surveys :rotfl:.

    Hope you manage to come up with a get rich quick plan. I quite like SA lottery win idea.

    Hospital was indeed sad- it’s totally scandalous folk having to wade through water in a hospital. We passed the new hospital a few months ago - it would be amazing if it was finished. The things they did for the little boy shows all that is good with the NHS though :T
    January spends - £587.58

    Hi Beanie
    Have you thought about switching your bank account to earn some extra cash. The Halifax are quick payers and there isn't any monthly pay in requirement to get the first £50 switching bonus.

    First Direct pay £125 but you have to pay in £1000 within the first 3 months and if you stay 6 months you will be charged £10 a month if you haven't paid in an average of £1000 a month.

    All the details are on the MSE website just check the terms and conditions carefully.

    I can't fault the treatment Mr SA had from the NHS to be honest. Mine too a couple of years ago ankle wise. I'm not surprised Carrillion went under, they did work on the building I work in - very shoddy.

    Though I think the Halifax may be connected to my main account.
