Saturday test -.-

YAY

I went to Barclays today and finally ordered the ATM card for the savings account. I also handed in the tax exemption form. Hmmm the card should arrive on Wednesday. ISA Saver Issue 1 has a tax-free interest of 2.02% (not bad, but you can only deposit  £5,340 per tax year---which is going to end soon)


The monthly savings has a higher interest rate of 3.25% ---nice,but  no more than 12 monthly deposits (including the initial deposit), each of at least £20 but not more than £250, up to a maximum of £3,000 in the first year. Very good if you hardly/never touch your money. If you withdraw anything=lower interest :|


































It's not funny when your calculator gets FROZEN during a statistics test -.-  Seriously, SHARP calculators have a big problem. The first SHARP I had didn't work--- ALSO DURING A MATHS EXAM IN SEC 3 ******** Fortunately I had a CASIO. Now, it freaking froze on me. It worked after a while, but who would take a chance next time? Nooo the Maths was messed up. 


At least, it was fine during Chemistry. 
Definitely have more than 1 calculator next time.

Yeah, finally went to Barclays Bank in Castle Street Shrewsbury. I deposited some money and enquired about the PIN. The banker reordered the PIN. Hopefully, it will come this time. Wow I like that PIN Sentry card reader. Looks so cool when I saw it at the counter. Hopefully, that will be in the mail too.

I get to go upstairs, sit down and talk to a Personal Banker, Paula Donnelly

Appointment next week to apply for ATM card for savings.
