Im with Alliance and Leicester so thats all free. I find online payments time consuming to track especially if you have a few. Don't get me wrong both methods work as long as I get paid I'm happy.

I find online payments easy to track all have there own customer id.

I would not trust free banking for my business use i'm a little funny like that

I have only been with A & L for a little while and I have had no problems yet. I was with Lloyds before for about 20 years but I got fed up paying £5-600 a year for nothing. They are too expensive to borrow from and their business managers are spotty kids and the call centers are in India. You may as well have free banking at that point IMO  ;)

I find this time of the year is quite difficult for me anyway. When I was doing the taxi work up in London it was awful, I really found it hard going. The light starts failing earlier and earlier and that gloomy grey weather sends me into a decline.
Your bed gets more comfortable in the mornings and the chair in front of the telly looks more inviting. I think its a sign I'm getting old.
