I've gone right off the idea of accounts you can access on the internet. I just want a good old-fashioned one with a passbook where I go into the bank or building society to get my money out. Does such an account still exist?

He had no contract as it is a delivery position, but he was there for three months, and when he asked his boss, he totally went off on one and started ranting and raving about conditions agreed at start (which he has a short memory about, as agreement was 5 day week, but BF is working 6 days now, and days are getting longer each week).

It seems to me that the Royal Mail is in a similar position to British Telecom in the early 1980s - in need of massive investment to modernize its outdated equipment, which is unlikely to be financed by the Government.

Why not privatize it so that it can modernize, become more efficient (and better able to withstand competition) and less prone to official and unofficial strike action (as nearly all strikes in the UK these day occur in the public sector)?

Just started a temping job as a medical secretary (private practice). Granted, yes, I'm only here for a week, but when I started here on Monday, the first thing I had to do was to take a tape and dictation machine for one of the doctors at another practice 3 streets away from here! I thought that was that, until the Dr rang this morning and asked me to collect the notes, tape and dictating machine from this other practice for me to type, plus all her post from over there. I don't feel this is right for me to be doing. What do you think? I know this is beside the point, but I'm full of cold too.

I applied to a payday loan company - was accepted in principle. Sent off required info excluding bank statements as I was waiting for them to arrive......now I have the statements and I cannot remember the name of the company.

They were in the uk and we called "cash" something or other - I have googled but there are so many - the website has an orange coloured front page.

Can anyone help??

We are looking for a new roommate in our house, and this is the first time any of us will be choosing a stranger to move in. Are there any questions that are considered illegal to ask someone? We are aware of the Fair Housing Act in regards to what you can post in an ad, but not sure how it applies to questions. My boyfriend is really worried that even the "usual" questions, like habits and likes/dislikes is off limits.

When leaving a rented property how many out there did not get there full deposit back even though you left it just as you found it?
Also has anyone taken the landlord to court because of this and won their deposit back (was it very easy?)

Would it raise red flags with the IRS if usually my husband and I file separately, and I claim our kids. This year I don't plan on working, and I want him to claim me and the kids as dependants, would this be okay being that when I get a job I want to go back to filing separate from him ?

The family unit in England is eroding as we once knew it. If we look at a simple process, is raking in tax the reason.
Everyone, quite rightly, was encouraged by Margaret Thatcher to become property owners.
There are now countless millions out there co-habiting,or "living over the broom" as my gran would say!
Inheritance tax kicks in when an estate is over £300,000.
The rise in property prices is excluded from inclusion in the advertised rates of inflation, and guess what, the In. Tax threshold tends to go up by about the rate of inflation.
Property only passes free of I.T. to a spouse.
So it appears to be to the benefit of the Government to get us all to "live over the broom"
Or am I just too cynical?

I am worried about my choices. I have many second thoughts and I explored them by every detail (average salary, average satisfaction, availability, benefits). I don't want to declare undecided because I am afraid that I will loose some potential scholarship money for a certain department.

I narrowed it down to 2.

Math - I have a overall B in there and the highest I have took is pre-cal/ trig. I know a lot of people who cant pass because its too hard. I taught myself Cal AB and I enjoyed math

Computer Science - I took programming classes outside of school. I have enjoyed fooling around with languages making mini-applications on my spare time. I consider it as a hobby, I often spend time with. I heard that CS majors are unemployed and have low job satisfaction

Careers I am interested in. (in order of likeness)

1. Secondary Teacher (math) - I am afraid that a CS degree will block my chances. Low salary but good benefits
2. Actuary
3. Programmer

Math - Carer
Computer Science - Hobby

OK I had a checking account at National City for a while but after a incident that got the account over drawn and it ended up getting closed. At first I didn't think it was big deal as I was able to open a new checking account at a credit union where I had a saving account but when I tried to set one up at Chase, they said they couldn't due to fact that National City needed to be dealt with. Now I've heard there are some places that will look past this (Wal-Mart supposedly has some guilt-free checking account) , but I dont't wanna go anyplace to shady or nothing.
