They're tiny little spiderlings at present with no colours, so they're pretty boring.

Popped to my local BP and my debit card was swallowed whole! It was trying to be returned to me but the bloody thing got stuck by those litte covers and after a few times it didn't return.

The message popped up
'transaction cancelled please contact your bank'

I personally went to my branch and they said £80 was taken out!

I tried to take that money but it wasn't handed to me.

Bloody machines

Spent around an hour and half at the bank trying to sort this mess out so now waiting 48hours to find out more now!

The machine should register that the case was not removed. I had this last year, it took 24 hours but I got a refund.

I've got a file audit today.

I've decided honesty is the best policy and left the files in their present state. No point trying to lie about these things*



*I can't be arsed going through the file to make sure everything is in date order and nice and tidy.

Baby steps mate. Youll get there but there's no rush.

My wife and I keep looking at other properties but at the moment I like having spare cash tuck away for bikes and bike bits :)

Plus I'm not convinced property prices will stay as high as they are, but I've said that in the past and been wrong. We've got £200k of equity in the house so we're not in any rush to move.

I had to chuckle the other day. I did a few online applications to see how much I can borrow - Halifax said £26k.
