Exactly my thoughts. Problem is, said friend has anxiety problems (extreme in some cases) "What if the bank goes bust?" etc. However when I explained how much interest they could be making (and the FSCS) the next question was "Do they pay it monthly?"! so I'm making progress. Took months to get them a water meter - saved £50 a month! But talt80 said:@RobM99 should be a no brainer if the money is just sat there.
that's a digression.Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!3 -
Hi all, hope you are all doing well. Haven't checked in for a while as just trundling along on my own. Haven't had a drink since August!

Wobbled a bit yesterday at 5pm ish (my usual cooking dinner trigger time) but decided I was hangry instead - a couple of biscuits sorted me out 👍Books read 2023 - 49/754
