Thank you. Do they add 'interest' onto this do you know please?

I don't think there is.
Just looking at one OH has and its £1.81 for 10 months and then a final £1.90 for a £20 love2shop which will arrive in November. so there is no fee or interest or set up payment

They seem like a good company. When I changed the direct debit bank I went through live chat for help and you can see your payments online and exactly where you have got up to and you can increase your payments if need be.

Thanks. I wonder if you buy and set up one gift card payment, could you buy a separate one and set up a separate DD?

When I was setting up the new one the system recognized my address and asked if I wanted to continue with the account I already had but I didn't.
I used a different email this time to set up a brand new account - all other details as normal. That way I could tell which amount was going towards which love2shop order.

Don't think park funds are fSCS protected (nor luv2shop) so think about how much of your money they have.

I notice as well as the ltsb interest rate cut nationwide reg saver is down from 500pm to 250. I can park a bit in some ltsb/hfax kids savers at 2% but even these are no longer available to new customers for 20k, only 5k

Could you not set up one account for yourself, then one for better half, but have the money come out of the same account making 2 DD's?

Totally blue sky! I hope this is not our summer.

Not sure if this is the right thread to post this.

Has anyone heard of or used 'cheaptheatretickets.com' ?

I found them whilst doing a search for discounted theatre tickets today and they have really cheap London theatre tickets..... £10 instead of £60 for Ruthless among others... but Martin always says that if something sounds too good to be true then it probably is. This sounds very cheap but, if legitimate, it would be great.

Update ...... I did more searching and found info on an old Tripadvisor review linking cheaptheatretickets.com to Encore Tickets based in London. Phoned Encore and they do the seats on the Encore website for as little as £10 as well.

Has anyone used Encore?

Thank you

Park Funds - yes that's why I've just gone for small amounts - saving towards £20 and £10 love2shop incase the worst happens - even very long established firms vanish overnight ...

Yes its a pity about Nationwide dropping down to £250 a month - it was useful when it was £500.
Even better when it was £1000 a month a few years back - mind you £1000 might have gone in at the start of the month but most of it was withdrawn through the month ...

Hmm, well, err, no. I haven't picked up a camera since last April Though I did manage to put together a 2018 calendar for friends and family

Ah, ok, calendar sounds good.

Reason I asked was because I just read 'Little Fires Everywhere' by Celeste Ng, and in the novel there are some very interesting descriptions of how Mia, one of the main characters, approaches the composition of her photographs. I was fascinated.

Well it says 19 degrees according to the car.

But we have a coastal 'breeze' ie high winds...
