I don’t normally watch ML but for obvious reasons I did tonight. How complicated is all that ISA LISA business? I’m glad we’re too old to qualify, I couldn’t make head nor tail of it.

Passport price hike

As from March 27 UK passport prices are set to rise considerably for those applying by post. The current £72.50 charge for an adult passport will increase by 17% to £85 but by applying online it will only increase by £3, to £75.50.

For fast-track service it will go from £103 to £142 and the premium service will have a premium price attached – rising from £128 to £177! Similarly, a children’s passport will also increase to £58.50 for under 16’s – a huge 27% increase but an online application will be £49.


This means that a family of four – two adults and two children under 16 will have to pay £287 for a postal application. If your passport is due to expire within the next 9 months then the time left on your existing passport will be added to the new one – so you may save yourself the proposed price increase by applying earlier. However, you will still receive the same burgundy cover as the new blue ones will not be issued until October 2019

I've had one £2.50 bonus declined so I've emailed them to see why - the date is odd December 17th ...

I've had loads declined...it means you opted in to the offer but didn't take it up...no great shakes

did you have a bored wet afternoon?
I did a mass delete just after Christmas - got it down to under 200 emails in total and all else deleted. But its like holding back the tide, another 150 come in each moring and another 100 during the day so its back to square one again.
At the end of the day I delete all FB, last weeks Ebay emails and last weeks groupon/livingsocial emails but it does not help much
There must be 35 thousand deleted emails in the deleted box ...

No, in fairness it didn't take that long, most of it was promotional stuff, so I did about 50 at a time. What got me was that a lot of it was neatly filed away, only for it to be no longer relevant several months on...

I've also deleted the deleted box contents.

I was just in the mood. Having disposed of several large bulky items to the charity shop, plus a little flurry of shredding, I was ready to continue decluttering.

And it passed the time waiting for IT to set me up with project 3.
