    As has been mentioned previously TSB drops their interest rate from 3% to 1.5% today and only up to £1500 from £2000.


    if any one has a empty Nationwide account like me, (I used it for a year for the 5% rate but then they dropped their rates to 1%) it may be worth transferring your excess £500 from TSB to NW.


    I've done this with both my TSB accounts this morning until I can set up another decent paying account...just an idea rather than have zero interest in the interim :)

    The interest rate today has dropped from 5% to 3% on balances up to £1500. You can have two individual accounts and one joint account as well. Not as good as Tesco which do not require certain pay ins each month

    Whoopsied Moroccan lamb joint, £1.55, cauliflower, tomatoes, parsley were all 10p collected over last week. And the bulgur wheat was reduced in health food shop couple months ago. :money:

    It was roasted spiced cauliflower bet the spices cost the most!

    Mums back home from hospital :T
    The ovarian cancer they suspected seems to have been changed to chronic constipation. She was unable to have MRI or CT Scan as they reckoned her kidneys are too weak. Had a plain xray which showed the lump as bowel obstruction, which they reckon has been removed by having several enemas.
    Hmmm who to believe. The oncologist (who suspects mum has ovarian cancer) or the breast cancer surgeon who thinks its constipation :o
    Someone told me to suggest them to try ultrasound as doesn't use dyes.
    Anyway, mum extremely pleased to be back in her reclining armchair with her TV remote at hand :D
    :T:T:T:T thats good news
    Good evening

    Nice haul Ts :)

    Back to work tomorrow :eek:

    Day 4 and milk and yoghurts purchased £4 spent £46 remains although the I have a feeling I will need more as £7/8 a week is spent on milk alone :cool:

    As I was in T earlier a worker told me I had picked the wrong day to come, I replied why have I missed it all and he said no tomorrow will be big reductions , I don't know how much truth is in that but that is what he said :)

    I knew I had something else to report, and have just remembered what it was.

    I can highly recommend these pj's for any little girls. I collected two pairs today for my dd's and they are excellent quality. Really soft fleece and a bargain at £6 reduced from £22. I've put them away for next Christmas!
