Successful adventures in banking!
Today we got bank accounts! This morning, before we left to walk to the local Job Centre Plus office to get an appointment for the N1 number, (like our SIN numbers), we got the mail and our first bill.It was the water one - and since water's a utility we thought we'd go back to the banks again and try for accounts. First we went to Barclays and after they gave us the runaround, "yes you can do it" "no you can't do it", we basically were told to come back when we have jobs and that both of our names are on the same line in the bill. Because HD's name being below the address isn't good enough.
Anyway, we went down the street and went to HSBC where we both successfully opened bank accounts with no jobs! The guy who helped me out was super nice and he set me up with a savings and chequing account - with a whopping balance of £0.00 - both basic so there are no monthly fees. I'm glad that's over and done with - another thing struck off the 'to do' list!
On a side note - it's been a beautiful week here. The weather has been sunny and hot almost every day and the nights nice and cool. I think we're supposed to get rain but that's cool with me.

Another successful event completed in your adventure, great work guys! Don't worry about the rain it's been raining for the past couple of days here in Canada and they say it will rain for the next 7 days. They predict that we are going to have a nice, warm, long summer. Can't wait! Good news ... I've been doing my homework ... looking at prices for my trip to Cuba as I have decided to go to cuba instead of London this year. ha ha just kidding!
