Well tomorrow is payday, the first ive looked forward to in years as we have spoken and made the decision not to pay creditors as we are going for the IVA and stock our cupboards up as there is nothing in them lol.
My joy was short lived as we bank with Think Banking and they are still not up and running after all the chaos with RBS, oh well ive waited this long i can wait a bit longer.
Hope you are all well. xxxx

It shouldn't be too long now before the banks are all back in action. Then you can enjoy your shopping! x

Hope you got your money and were able to go shopping - I love bargain hunting and the supermarkets are really putting the prices down at certain times - so long as you can put stuff in the freezer it is worth it - I bought a very large joint of pork last week - bought it home and cut it into three ....now I have 3 pork joints for £8 that will feed at least 6 at a time....2 chickens for £5 in Tesco last night and they were large chickens at that......

TBH I wouldn't be happy with an apology. Sorry doesn't fill the car up or stock the kitchen cupboards. They should be subbing people so that you and others aren't left with a few pennies jangling in your pockets!

I'm with Thinkbanking too and my wage hasn't gone in either. It took me ages to get through to them on the new free phone number theyve set up especially for this mess, but when I did they have transferred some money to my card account so I can get some food in at least. Hang in there and keep trying

Surely if Natwest can arrange for customers to have access to money then Think Banking should as well.
I hope you get sorted out soon.

Thinkbanking have just changed their login message and have now received all the missing transactions from RBS and are processing them. Mine are starting to look ok.

Holly if you go into the Ulster Bank with a copy of your husbands wage slip they can give you the money. My friend had to do it on Tuesday and they asked her how much she wanted without question[:)]
