    Nah, I'm having fun with Ebay, Tradeit and Gumtree. Need to sell a load of doggie biscuits at the mo. Had a load delivered to friends and they've all bought it round to my house. 56 bags of Purina aint bad!! :D

    Hey, no wonder my bag hasn't arrived :p :rotfl:

    Good luck getting rid of a load of those, I would think you'd have storage problems :rotfl:


    Been watching Strictly and XFactor, doing a catchup here then might go read my book.

    Hope you've all had a great day xx
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    as awful as the interest rates are its still better than nothing.
    if you saw £31.13 lying about in the street you would collect it up and dance with joy :D so on the annual anniversary of your monthly savings when £31.13 goes into your account its a dance with joy day

    planning what to do with your £31.13 is part of the fun - you can find some nice meals out on groupon or livingsocial, if you go through the travelogue website you can find odd nights away for £35, you can treat yourself to something in the sales ...

    mhoc....yes i agree with what you are saying....however, for me, personally...I like to make my money work as hard as I can, and therefore, I would rather put £300 per month in a regular saver at 6%, and earn £115.96

    Is it wrong to stalk C4rling buyers in little A :D.? I saw one making his way to the tills, paced myself loitering near the bakery until he paid then followed him onto that till. Of course he left his receipt ... £5 claimed on 1pint :cool:.

    i have a few more £5 on 12/15 pack vouchers that expire next week, still looking for wombles if anyone knows where to look ;) as I don't need to buy more.

    So would I, but once those options have been exhausted, this is still a good option in the current and near foreseeable climate with a large number of regular savers dropping their rates to below this within the next few weeks.
    I opened this one yesterday, 14 RS on the go right now ranging from 6% to 2%, but with drip feeding some of those 2% are actually higher in reality.
