Good afternoon ...feeling very muggy here :(been on a little jaunt on the train today and popped into poundland....noticed they had a kilo of Gran sugar or Silver spoon icing sugar for the obvious £1...not sure if that is any use to the bakers ....popped into the Catholic church where Mum and Dad got married in 1944 and had a coffee and tasty sandwich ...for much less than the local coffee shops in the town ..also a very pleasant unhurried experience ..even had a nice chat with a handsome Irishman:T0

I think we are all checking our interest on savings today.
I registered all of mine in May 15 for paying gross interest.
The only one I couldn't was the Ns&I over 65 guaranteed growth.So I am owed £80.
They are now paying gross on these accounts from 6th April 16.0 -

I started off with the free version
but then because I am subscribed to numerous websites I went on to get the Roborm everywhere which has an annual payment - I have it on my phone and ipad for the odd time I am away but need to check something - these are passnumber protected so I only have one number to remember instead of dozens
Mainly I use it on the main computer and anything sensitive has an additional secure code“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, --will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, --or to diminish something of their pains.”0 -

so you still have the R85 forms on all of your savings - I've been dithering about this but I think I am going to do it with all of mine anyway.
Its the annual savers that you have to renew every year that are annoying - having to set up the new SO and a new R85“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, --will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, --or to diminish something of their pains.”0
