PBs have been our instant
PBs have been our instant access home whenever interest rates have been very low. In the days when one had to constantly move money, run numerous accounts to make a few ££££ it was a better option. Most years we made 1.5 - 2%. Only worked on instant access.
This is basically our emergency cash, the rest is invested. I'll be looking around for a decent instant access or 30 day account.
Thank you.

1. Yes - well beard trim
2. When I start to look scruffy which is about 7-8 weeks. The rest of the time I look after myself with trimmers and tweezers! After a while it begins to show.
Sounds daft but I really dislike having bushy eyebrows, hairy ears and nose hair. It's about my personal self-esteem, very important to me. Without restarting the discussion it's why I iron.
What???
You iron your hairy ears and nose!!!
Joking aside I agree with you (apart from ironing).

Salut. I bought a blue two piece suit in Matalan this morning for £79. That will do me for years to come. I saw one in a proper man's shop for £219. OK it did look nicer but I am not paying that sort of money for something I only wear very rarely.

I had a phone call from my doctor's surgery earlier offering me the shingle vaccin. I have had shingles in 1988 but apparently it doesn't make you immune to it. Anyway, I declined for now but will be offered it again next year I was told.

Our GP does it at 70 so 3 years time for me.
Found this out at my recent pneumonia jab (another one-off) and the nurse said shingles is really nasty for older folk.
How many have you got?
