    Is anyone a Man United fan?
    Are you thinking about getting a monthly savings account?
    Can you save at least £100 a month?

    If so have a look at Virgin Money Matchday E-Saver issue 1 interest rate of 2.25% fixed rate- -it might be new. There is an online version but if you can get to a Virgin Money branch you open one there - or both even.

    No commitment to save every month but you can save up to £250, unlimited deposits and withdrawals.

    If you do save the max £3500 in your account after 14 months with interest you will have £3,549.22 - so not enough to change the world but if you are a man United fan then its worth doing for the monthly prize draws and refreshments - whatever they are.

    "each month you save £100 in your account we’ll treat you to your half time refreshments by sending you an Old Trafford concourse voucher for use on match day.

    You’ll also get access to United Rewards, giving you the chance to win exclusive Man Utd prizes each month

    Every month your account is open you'll earn 10 entries into our amazing United Rewards prize draw. And you can earn even more entries depending on how you use your account.

    You'll have a chance to win:
    •Matchday tickets for the Theatre of Dreams
    •Signed official Man Utd replica shirts
    •Hospitality tickets to enjoy the game in style

    Plus other exciting Man Utd prizes you won't want to miss

    2. Earn United Reward entries as you save
    •Get 10 entries for every month your account is open and one extra entry for every £50 in your account
    •Each entry puts your name in the hat for our monthly Man Utd prize draws to win matchday tickets, signed shirts and hospitality tickets
    •Plus, twice a year our Man Utd Mega Draws give you the chance to win even more unmissable prizes

    One of my fence panels was swaying badly this morning so OH can and strapped it up. My friend who put the fence just here to fix it.
    Delivery driver at work delivering pallets of tiles to business next door and the door of his lorry swung back and knocked him to the ground. I gave them our first aid kit and took down some baby wipes to clean up the blood. Ambulance came and when I left he was in his lorry waiting for a replacement driver. Cut lip, cut by his eye and he lost a couple of teeth!!
    OMG! hope the poor chap is ok

    Good afternoon Peeps!

    We are at the SnowDome today. DS2 learning to Snowboard in a day. Not MSE, but he persuaded me by pointing out it would be more expensive when he is over 16! He knows me too well! :o

    Doris has arrived. I have ventured out to the car a couple of times and nearly blown away! DD just rang to say she was nearly blown off her bike :eek:

    Shall be glad to get home and sit by the fire tonight!

    Thought I could work on my laptop while watching DS, but can't concentrate! Too many people having loud half term fun!!!!!:rotfl:

    No.I don't think it is.
    The shop was done on the 21st.They were probably £4 then but have probably gone back up to £7.19 now.Just a really good comparison for anyone looking to recycle apgs or anyone who uses these.I have not checked in store.

    We have a pop up tent in the garden. Not sure who it belongs to but it flew down the road and landed at us.
