    Interest is not due on these accounts yet.

    It's paid during the overnight run after the end of the first business day of the month.
    Oh thanks. :)
    Better alter the dates on the DDs then. :o

    Afternoon all :wave:

    Anyone got their BOS interest paid today yet. :eek:
    They've taken DD's .
    Also the Halifax reward not paid yet. :eek:

    I've got a computer-hogger today who won't even allow me near the main computer to check the accounts to see if everything has been paid ...

    I haven't read back, so I presume you are aware of the Travelodge discount offer at the moment through Quidco?
    I booked 3 rooms but have had no confirmation email :(
    But did print the booking at time :T
    Not bad 3 rooms near Manchester Airport for £71.40 all in :)

    no didn't realise this - trying to think now of what exciting place I could go to now
    not even checked the Accor website yet today

    Totally agree, I would move house if it meant I could keep Rebecca. They are part of the family!


    I will have to hunt that out, thank you. Feel that I need a miniture VT so that I have 'something special' if you know what I mean.



    Did you check S/land?

    VT'S are not all that size. some larger, some smaller.
    N has 2. One was a birthday gift in pastel which is smallest I have done, the other my Sunflowers.
    Is it a Random VT you would like or something special?

    Need to get my groove back. These last 2 years it has been somewhat neglected but be back to it in September.

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)

    on the plus side errant son has discovered ancient box of assorted crisps behind the sofa, mostly from the fabulous walkers promo last year and he found a bag of Doritos which were still edible so my desk now has a fine layer of Doritos dust

    on the minus side the ancient box of hotel chocs were not edible so they had to get binned :(

    I was wondering if you do commission. I would love a poppy one for my sister. Her boyfriend died in Afghanistan, so I knows its something she would love and appreciate.

    And maybe a cow/sheep one for my OH as I love them :D
    I have dyslexia, so get used to my spelling and grammar :)
