A T5B current account at 5% might offer more flexibility than a regular saver, the only stipulation is that you run £500/m through it (any external source). They offer a 5% regular saver as well in case you're doing well with the savings down the line and want both :beer:

Great minds, Eduardo, great minds! :beer:

Also, today's spends were £8.03, transferred straight away to the savings bank account (thank heavens for apps)! Most of it was for naughty study snacks but infuriatingly, I had to buy some new printer paper as my printer mysteriously started saying how there wasn't any in it, despite there being reams of the stuff, then after I had wasted copious amounts of time going to get some (and also cashing the cheque, since it was just next door), I came back to realise that part of the printer wasn't clicked into place correctly. Once I did that, it solved the problem, but I still have no ides why - the part and the action don't seem related at all! :mad:

At least printer paper is non-perishable. Printers are mysterious beasts...I don't know why pretty much all other technology has gotten so much better/easier to use over the last decade but printers are still such crap.

That's very true!

Only trouble is that since I got the paper I have done so much printing since I got it that now my black and blue printer cartridges are apparently running low. I think I have spares but I *really* don't want to have to buy new ones as they cost an absolute fortune for my printer! :eek:

Home printers might be a bit crap, but I'm always pleasantly surprised at how reliable the massive multi function devices we have in the office are. Built like a tank and cope with hundreds of users with only occasional minor issues. Then again, they do cost ££££ to run each year for a device.

Mine sends an 'error, can't print' message every time I print something - even while I can hear the printer happily printing :doh::doh::doh:.

I don't own a printer, you're all yuppies

Or self employed people older than you before the interweb and making my own pdf documents, I had to, you know, print stuff out and send it to prospective clients.

How times change, thank heavens

Mine's quite a big posh one that can do all of the above.

Don't judge: I had a lot of folders of paperwork that needed scanning so I could throw them away and it was the smallest I could find with a document feeder on it. The scanning still took days.

Yup. I got mine in case I went self-employed in the industry I trained in as well.

Says the man with the kitty profile pic! :rotfl:

So, yesterday's spends: £3.70 chippy tea (naughty and rare but it was blummin' late getting home and I had nada in); something else I can't remember. Grr!

*Looks at clock and squints slightly* Today's spends: £21.?? food shopping; £6.50 yoga (still totally worth it but missed the football ); £5 loan to a friend.

Take care y'all. See you at the other side of the voting!
