Just been notified our current bank account is closing. So annoying as I actually really like it and the app is good. Sigh!
Just applied for a bank account switch anyway as no point delaying the inevitable. No chance of a switching bonus as I think I must have had every account out there!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

8.83 cleared on prolific and cashed out. Money earned up to a respectable £47.40 for March.Weather is looking cold but dry for today so plan is pottering on the garden. I’ve got some more compost to dig through and another flowerbed to weed so will get the kids out with me. Need to order another packet of seeds. My seedlings have all but died on the windowsill and I’m currently watering dead plants in the hope of miracle.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
