    You can have as many bank accounts as you want.

    Or you could shut the one with Barclays?

    I actually have 2 savings accounts with Barclays, just checked and i have an e-saver and a normal savings account, whoops! I don't use either as i use my ISA to pay money into.

    I had 3 savings accounts with HSBC i never used (one i opened via quidco). I rang and shut them all down as were empty anyway.

    As soon as i am debt free i am going to open an ISA.

    Hi Sugarpants, I couldn't believe it was £7.50 either, but it lasts me months, and its the only one around i've seen that warms when you put it on your face, love it. I don't smoke, or drink lots, so i don't feel bad LOL.

    Maria - I missed shopping so much, so it was fab having the day with my mum and sister to just go crazy and buy whatever i wanted, well within reason, obviously the amazing TV i saw in the Sony shop didn't get bought lol. The only shopping i do at home with my mates is window shop, they buy, i watch and get depressed.
