    Gocat....why not set up a s/o so you dont have to worry?...£1000 from A to B, £1000 from B to C, and £1000 from C to A. Them you wont miss any interest, and you wont even have to think about it hth

    I did that ... until with H4lifax I hadn't factored in their policy on weekends/bank holiday and it messed up the sequence and sent me overdrawn :o. I have done them manually since then until I can read through the details again.

    I've done this but I still have panics at the start of the month that all the shuffling back and to has not happened correctly

    What makes it worst is when there is a bank holiday at the start of the month as well :)

    I am not keeping up enough at the moment as busy in work and home to keep me distracted from shopping (:eek:), so maybe I keep missing posts, sorry. I am not sure why people on here keep falling out, keep switching to lurking or are reporting each other - life is far too short.

    I think it might be better to do the deposit in and withdrawal out mid month instead but then there is Easter which can occur anytime of the month ...

    Has anyone received cinema tickets? Did it take 14 days as it says ?
    We're just happy to have a home, a family and our health. Whatever else is just added and it fits. :)

    For those of you with the multiply bank accounts, you might find this calculator helpful. If you set it to how much you have to invest it will tell you how many dd's you need, and even shows how to meet the minimum pay in requirements.
    I used to do all mine manually each month, but it was time consuming, so have now set them up on s/o using the information on this website.

    Surely if you set the s/o's for the same day for every account, it wont matter if it is a bank holiday/weekend, would it? cos it would be the same for every bank/building society....well thats what I do, everything happens on the same day...and fingers crossed, so far so good.
