    My house has earned more this year than I ever could!


    Beautiful..where is it from?

    Pearl anniversary later in the year, but I don't feel old enough to wear pearls.

    Did you hear that even small houses are suppose to increase by £40,000 in the next 5 years... it is fab for owners, but :eek: for people who want to buy x

    I also love the silver figures... but have to admit pearls can be lovely (get both!!)

    I have to agree with you UP. I had always made sure that any house we lived in was in my sole man..... and any money.... whilst he can have the debts!!

    :D:D:D:D:D:D





    juju, I really do need to get my head around this and go for it.

    I have the Santander 123, I think the easiest way ahead for me would be the TSB Classic Plus - one for me and one for the OH - if I put in £2,000 - and each month did a DD into the account for £500 and another one taking this back out... (shout at me if I am not doing it properly!).

    :D:D:D:D:D


    You don't need a DD, a straightforwards standing order is OK. Also, as well as one each you can also have one joint account. And you only need one £500 - SO into your account, out again into DH's account, out again into joint account and then back into your main'normal account.

    Tenth Anniversary
    Silvercar it was our pearl anniversary last year and my aunt bought me pearl earrings, I love them, it's the second pair I have ever had and she bought the last pair too, and I am very young 😂😂😜
    Just to add my dh probably wouldn't even of been able to tell you how long we have been married so forget him knowing which item would be attached to it :rotfl:

    My Up and Go drinks all paid out fully on COS even though they are reduced to 35p:)

    Watch out for the Red BBQ rubs they have started reducing them in A too. Now down to 75p so not quite cheap enough:)

    Yes, 75p in my store too. Seem to remember someone saying they'd dropped to 50p in theirs :cool:

    The Pizza Express salad dressings are RTC too. The House dressing is 75p and COS are also giving 50p CB on these, so 25p after CB. The Sicilian dressing is 75p

    omg.. it is like trying to learn the APG again... but I got there in the end!!

    I also need to know the difference between a DD and SO... so I have a long way to go! I am guessing a DD is to a company, and a SO is something you can set up as an individual to move between accounts
