Had a quick look at banking balances, and since I get paid this week, decided to o/p another £100.00.

My OP's from all the various accounts will get done tomorrow too.
AFK - hope that you get the Tesco current accounts opened. I didn't have a problem with them. It was very easy, but I think that having a Tesco ClubCard credit card also helped.

Agree with you there, I'm always imagining making an o/p and its my last to clear off the mortgage shangaijimmy wrote: »Your shaming me into it now, since I get paid tomorrow!
Glad to be of service Good to read on your diary too, your also shuffling your bank accounts :beer:ScotinLondon wrote: »My OP's from all the various accounts will get tomorrow too.
Well done, keep it up :T

I opened 1 for now, wanted to start paying in straight away, but they have to confirm before letting me withdraw, so have to be patient for now
I'm still not sure if theres a limit to how many bank accounts you can open/switch in a short period of time. I'm so impatient at times.
And update on my £100 o/p
seems when transferring the o/p I had to supply a ref no as well as sort code and account no, which I didn't do, so money "lost" for 10 days before it is returned to me :mad: then have to start again. :mad: will just o/p the £100 tomorrow night, then wait for the other £100 to be returned to my account:o
This week was a full working week, so not a lot of time for posting on diary. How did you cope, Bexster ?
Have two days off next week :j so time to get the bags to the CS and see if I can add more to it before they go.
Items listed on the bay are down to a minimum as no offers for listing the whole month of Feb but still managing to sell maybe 1 a day.
Will be working out all the transfers and accounts as this is the first month they will all be working together, hope I get it right, fingers crossed.
Decided I was only going to buy a lottery ticket for the last Friday in the month (which was yesterday - no kidding :rotfl:) and guess what - I forgot :rotfl: but cant stop myself checking the numbers after posting on my diary :eek::eek: know I shouldn't - so maybe I will decide, from now on - only on last Friday of month and a Lucky Dip, that way if I "forget" again, I'll not know what my numbers would have been :beer:
Lovely sunny frosty morning here, so time to get on with the usual list of housework, shopping etc
Have a lovely weekend everyone. Will catch up on diaries soon.
Update - on lottery I would have only got one "star" number, so £2.00 going into o/p pot Always have 00.00 at the end of your mortgage and one day it will all be 0's :dance:MF[STRIKE] March 2030[/STRIKE] Yes that does say 2030 :eek: Mortgage Free 21.12.18 _party_Now a Part Timer from 27.10.190 -
Good morning.
Well, I'm still posting so that's good news!:D
Week wasnt improved by some @£&!@£&!£?& ( fill in your own choice of word) rear ending my car on weds night. :mad:
Thank God it couldn't have caused less damage as we were in queuing traffic. Cheeky bi@&h tried to say it was my fault! Am going to sort the minor damage today.
Work was work, so not much to say there. I am hopeful I can reveal my news though in the next couple of weeks so that's exciting.
Sounds like all goes well with you AFK, have a great weekend
