    Morning :)

    Just managed to steal myself 10 minutes :)

    Emerald, I like to chop up banana in my porridge before cooking and it all sort of melts in, sometimes add cinnamon or a bit of peanut butter too. Creamed coconut is very nice in it too, if you believe that it's good for you ;)

    PS Has anyone had any success getting RTC prices from the big service centres (those ghost stores where we cannot check the prices)?

    Many thanks

    after a lengthy conversation with M&S this morning even they said I would be better with a different bank account - all because there is no-where near me to bank, they used to allow use of HSBC but even that has closed down and they don't use the post office to bank with so I have no way of putting any money into the account now. So I am looking for a current account to change to that uses the post office, and if I am lucky enough a decent cashback for switching - any recommendations? Thanks x

    This page shows which accounts allow Post Office pay in and other services:

    http://www.postoffice.co.uk/branch-banking-services

    Current Cashback offers for TSB £100, Yorkshire £150, various others. There is an article on the right/above from MSE with full details - it will require an account switch and closure of an existing account to get the Cashback.

    Each has there benefits - personally I have FD, NatW, NW x2, Hali x3, Yorkshire, TSB x2, M&S, Santander, Lloyds, and a few more, mostly as I chase the Cashback deals and interest - others will have even more :). fD is my main account though and rarely make any changes to that.

    I don't have a recommendation Sarah, but it would be convienient for me to pay cash in at local PO instead of my bank account as I pass it on way to work and it opens at 8.
    Only thing is last lady to own it just shut up shop unexpectedly and it was closed for months and no one knew what was happening. New people now but what protection would you have if you had banked a few hundred pounds and then the place shuts :eek:
    I keep wondering whether I could trust this method lol xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    Thank you so much for all the lovely replies and advice :)
    I've had some time by myself to think and then think some more :)
    I did the coin toss thing and realised I was hoping for heads (I was disappointed when it was tails).
    That's given me the answer I need, my heart seems to be right :)
    OMG I'm getting so nervous now I have to let one person down. I don't do confrontation very well :rotfl:
    Than you so much for listening to me waffle, the only other person I've been able to speak to is DH and I think he's sick to death of hearing about it all :rotfl:
