Ah, the problem is getting the plain bank account in the first place never mind the savings. They won't let me open one as I don't have enough income, even though I have thousands of pounds in the bank:( (namely elsewhere). So sometimes it seems you need to have money in the first place to get money:( - and, even if you have money, it needs to be income coming in. The advice given by this site, to get First Direct and then get their savings account, unfortunately, only goes so far. Need to pass First Direct's checks which it appears are more stringent than anywhere first, and I never do so.0 -
No we are alone tonight bubbs for an Indian. Lads out so darnt have a drink unless they are both staying local. Youngest gona text when he knows if he is and then I could have a few Bailey's. I know I'm daft but if anything happened I would like to be able to drive. xx
Good evening, cjj I have always been the same ever since they were born I always wanted one of us fit to drive just in case, well this Christmas Day is the first one in over thirty years that we have not had to drive somewhere and as ds was coming to us we opened a bottle of perisecco a weak wine mix drink, very nice but still alcohol, so ds's car decided to have a broken fan so no demister and my dh had to strip the dash board to fix it as neither of us could drive him home, lesson learnt just stick to coke😂, hope everyone has a fantastic 2017🍾🍾The person who never makes a mistake never learns anything.0 -

Get ready for one second past midnight! The digital TV does not run live even though it says it does and my accurate clock does not change to the second straightaway, as we have a leap second. Happy New Year!0
