I used tesco accounts - you can set dad's up yourself rather than having the recipient do it. One or two are to my own other accounts !

Just go to tesco banking and open an account - put in a little cash (£50or so) and then set up dds yourself straight from there. You don't need to use the account , just make sure you keep enough in it for the dds.

So you could say put in £26 into t savings, set up your 2 DDs and then a calender reminder for a week before the 12 months is up to top up the accounts

I've had £1 mag subscriptions before but they are fiddly, having to remember to cancel them - and I had issues with one mag taking subs 9 days early

So I will have a go at setting this up this morning.

I had a nationwide account that paid 5% interest but only for one year. I've also got a fully flexible ISA which only pays 1.3% :mad: so I transferred money into this 5% account which was paying me about £10 a month gross. The year was up a few weeks ago so I transferred most of the balance back to the fully flex ISA and this spare current account might be switched to halifax - just need to sort out the DDs first

Trying to think now but I seem to think you had to leave a one year gap and then you could set up a 5% nationwide again - is that still so?

Officially envious now - Southampton, cruise ships to watch from the carpark and the ikea cafe ...

Huge sigh of relief Errant son is now on his second train :j

He had to go across from Euston to St Pancreas International with just 20 minutes gap - I remembered to give him helpful hints about all sorts of things but I forgot to tell him to hit the ground running at Euston and just go for it which he has done anyway

In theory it's an easy 10 min walk but in reality getting across the forecourt in Euston is daunting,the pavements get very busy and congested and you have to cross side roads. And then there is finding your platform at St Ps

His interview practical session was put forward a day but the start time is 9.30 so we found a route which meant he could go down today and not have to stay over with his big sister last night.

So that's him sorted now for most of the day.

You just KNOW it will wait until you get your cuppa, then it will bucket it down for precisely long enough to soak your washing in the moment you turn away :eek:
