Had a couple of hours this morning looking at savings accounts and interest rates.
I can't believe that we are seriously considering a 5 year fixed deal with Clydesdale Bank at 2%:o
If you still have a mortgage, what about paying some of it off?:o:o:o

MY ISAs were/are both long term fixed rates ones which at the time I took them out it seemed like the height of madness to lock money away for 4 or 5 years.
But in hindsight it was a very shrewd move, I don t have to think about them for years - one paying 2.5% and one 2.15% so never going to set the world on fire but at least I don't have to thin k about ISAs again - it took me so long to get my head around the concept it was really too late by then
I really liked the old fashioned bond concept, lump sum in for a set number of years and you got an old fashioned passbook or a fancy certificate ...“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, --will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, --or to diminish something of their pains.”0 -

DS2 just informed me that on a Friday he needs 3 pack lunches, one for lunch, one before he goes to the gym, and then another between the gym and kayaking... then he will want a meal when he gets home!
I am going to try to get to the end of the month without telling them what I am doing!:D:D
Do you have a flask he can take soup for 1 of his pack up meals.0 -

Thanks, hopefully he remembers to ask! He gets embarrassed when I do MSE things like coupons or buy multiple president cheeses0 -

Just looking at MSE twitter and wondering if anyone had used their shiny new blue Co Op card yet and how does it work in practice
I found my original share account paperwork on Friday - you know when you paid £1 - one dated 2000 :eek:
Even worse the other is 1992 :eek::eek::eek:
and then by coincidence the new blue card arrived - actually glad about this as the original one I used when I went to see my dad and I used to pop into the Co op for his groceries so every time I saw it in my wallet it made me think back ..
So its time to move on and the old card has been condemned to the back of the fire ...“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.

I told him he could do this...... his face was:(:(
I might send him to your house:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
But at least he did not moan at the soup and bread that I have just given him!
Not sure if other people have been getting the Tosco, bacon bits but they are great value at 60p a pack... some have huge gammon pieces. I think this will be the basis of our meat consumption for the next month.
The plan tomorrow is Morribobs (soup), Waities (not sure why Waities is on the list by I have a £6 off £30 spend), another morribobs (soup), Tesco (£3 off £30... lots of Hipp and some staples), maybe A (soup... I cannot find the soreen) then home... blackberry and apple picking... and making crumbles for the freezer.
