Hello. In the words of Take That...'I want you back for good'. I've been thinking of late how much I used to enjoy writing this blog and then all of a sudden it fell of a cliff in a soap opera kind of way, probably during a Christmas special. So I thought what the hell lets re-visit and write about stuff that happens. So here goes...
Well now I'm 32 and guess what? I'll still single. I think you would have seen on the news last week that I am indeed the most single person in the world. I shouldn't be proud of that but I kind of am although I'm sure my Mum isn't, she is literally desperate to see me married off not just to see have the wedding day etc but because over night she would become a millionaire. I have two bank accounts in my life and the one I use the most is the Bank of Mum. My account is always full and I never get charged interest, mostly because I'm not interested and I never seem to go into my overdraft. All in all I'm really happy with the level of service I receive.
In an ideal world I would have this bank account and another at the Bank of Husband, however these accounts are rare and you are often on a long waiting list (I've been on 32 years with ZERO sign of moving to the top anytime soon). Some seem to sign up/show interest and then get straight to the top of the list and have opened an account before you can say sort code. I mean how and why and when? I go from bank to bank trying to sign up but with no avail. I've even tried building societies but with no luck (they seem to be a bit too exclusive for me). I even tried foreign banks but the change of currency somewhat confuses the situation. Off shore accounts are the same, currency differences and I always feel these accounts are a bit dodgy.
The main obstacle I face always comes down to interest rates, they are either too high for me to sign up or the too low that the bank just doesn't meet my needs. What usually happens is that I go into the bank with the amount of money I want to put into a new account but the bank manager tells me it's not enough so I normally get the line 'I'm just not looking for any new customers right now' so with that I'm back out on the street again looking through my bank apps to find another one who will take my money. So as the wheel keeps turning I'm told by all who no me/meet me the following...'you'll find the right bank account when you least expect it' and 'the right one is just around the corner'.Well I've been round every single corner you can imagine and not found as much a post office account. So I guess I'll just have to remain patient and wait until I get to the top of the waiting list. Whatever will I do in my spare time....
