I am back, no not skiving, fully finished for the day and suitably all done in

On the good news front - I was just checking the calendar as a big bill was due shortly in March as I though but in May - OK, it still needs paying and its not going to earn much extra interest in 2 months but at least the excel graph wont take a dive just yet.

I also did a bank switch last month, it was an old Nationwide account I had for a year with an associated Flexclusive 5% saver account but once that matured there was no reason to keep it. I'd set up a couple of the Mr !!!!!! saver accounts in readiness and put in £24 to cover a years DDs. Then in the weekly MSE newsletter it announced that TSB had again started their switch incentive so I was all ready to go, very easy to do online.
It went through at the start of February and the DDs worked as normal. I then realised that the new TSB classic plus needed to be a joint account but this cant be done online. Our local TSB only has one person who can do the paperwork to change accounts to joint accounts and they dont work full days. It took 10 days to get an appointment late enough in the day for OH - just after lunch on a Friday.
So then once that had been done and we both had cards and pins I could set up a new monthly saver, make the account paperless, set up standing orders going in and out. A bit of a faff and quite a long process but at least it was done and we get 5% on contactless purchases up to £100 up until I think July (have to check this)
Just checked now and the switch incentive of £125 has been added already :T - various wedding related expenses this month so it will be useful.

Even better I got 9 old moult on Saturday for q clicksnappy which didn't track so I re uploaded and sent them a message on Sunday.
I didn't hold out much hope so these have been sat in a bag ready to be returned but finally I got a reply today and £13.50 is tracking :T - not doing the happy dance until I can finally withdraw though

I do so love reading your posts
I bought 3 ciders but didn't like to question it when it came back with 'no qualifying items' it worked for me once ..about a month ago, but I had 3 heiniken (shopmum)also on the receipt, this time I had flour and a few other things, I was rewarded for the flour but never followed the cider up...

Never again will I eat a subway, I had the worse food poisoning ever after veg sub, doc told me it's quite common as often the salad is left on display too long,
Never again!!!

That's the trouble with salad, it can happen anywhere can't it. I'm always cautious about having salad from a buffet for those reasons and you don't know if a person has just used their fingers to pick out a boiled egg or lettuce, yuk xx
