Morning all. The heatwave is due today but at the moment we have a navy blue sky which looks ominous.

Google weather says we should built to 23 degrees but not until 5 o'clock tonight - what use is that

Regarding the new Greggs freebie - free Coke - there was another freebie for some sort of savoury bake which was expiring today - so possibly 2 freebies ...

What are the changes please? I don't think I've seen anything about it.

We were all notified a few months ago - the key change to T Bank savings that spoils the game for all the other accounts is:

Please note: From 22 April 2018, you will no longer be able to make deposits into your account by Direct Debit.

Reminder that the DD rules on T Bank savings accounts change this weekend which will mess up the two linked accounts rule for many of the other current accounts - I am not prepared as I haven't found time to sort mine .

I also notice LL and BoS are dropping their rates to 1.5% from July :mad:. It may be worth consolidating some accounts to minimise DDs/fees (for example, moving some balances to San123 if you have capacity there - though remember the LL Club Rewards has benefits such as 6 free cinema tickets per year)

As interest rates have gone up, this is disappointing alongside the increased hassle with finding DDs .

I thought I'd moved and shuffled what I needed to before Christmas but I did another assessment yesterday and needed to do more DD moving about - things change over the course of six months.
I set up a park account to get love2shop vouchers which literally only took a minute so that plugged a gap.

Its a pity about LL dropping its interest rates. It was my next account to organise, I'd even written myself a step by step list of the stages I needed to do and set up but 1.5% interest rate for savings is not worth the effort.
It was bad enough having to concede with the ISAs when they matured. I had to accept the miserable 1.4% from Nationwide.

3 of my regular savers matured later in the later but the building societies don't have replacements for them or they have lower rate accounts - maybe things will improve.

Although its all going to be academic musings if we get our tame builder in and he does everything that is on the list that needs doing. He is supposed to be coming today for an assessment and I am supposed to have a list ready - not even started yet. He is supposed to be starting next week - he was here nearly 3 years ago doing the upstairs bathroom which turned into a nightmare job taking 3 weekends and 2 full weeks. The bill for that paid for his las Vegas trip

Was just thinking the same - sunshine between 6pm and 8pm here
