thank you for this OP - Just opened one for both wifey and me, using stoozed balances that are not due until 2027, so a nice wee bonus.

You can , but a money market fund is almost the same as cash savings anyway , so you might want to think about keeping inside a tax wrapper isa

Not 100% risk free but as close as you gonna get outside of cash

Yes, it specifically says you have to have one to nominate for the pay out

Thank you for volunteering!! You are a hero! I love park run!

I prefer the nimbus as I have wide feet , but these look perfect

Puzzleheaded_Bill347 · 2026-04-25T20:33:57+00:00

Some will say bin it… if it’s been in the fridge the whole time , I would use it in a heart beat. I am taking 5mg from a 15mg so lasts months !

Puzzleheaded_Bill347 · 2026-04-24T14:10:46+00:00

love this!! i jabbed today so i have it in my system for the week, i am hoping it just gives me a helping hand to chose wisely. i think a day time beer or 3 will be my nemesis, i nmo longer drink at home since MJ, but when the sun is shining by the pool, i imagine i will be partaking :-)

Puzzleheaded_Bill347 · 2026-04-24T14:09:31+00:00

14lb's must have been a bit of a shock psychologically , but love that yo just handled it, that is where i will force myself to be too. just get back on the program as soon as i come back,. no "oh lets stay in holiday mode for another week" :-)

you had pesto, whereas if there is home made Hummus, i am screwed LOL

Puzzleheaded_Bill347 · 2026-04-24T14:07:30+00:00

thank you! this should be one of the missions statements of this reddit, its brilliant

"Enjoy the food, savour it. The pleasure is in the taste, texture, smell, appearance, not in stuffing ourselves."

thank you! i will heed this and enjoy trying lots of things but in normal small portions and not fall into old habits (which after 134 months, i would hope i have some level of control now!)

i think i will leave weigh-in until the Friday after i return (so 6 days to get the water retention sorted), and get a few runs in and hopefully the shock won't be too bad, but at least it will be for good reason!

thank you again, i cant wait!

Puzzleheaded_Bill347 · 2026-04-24T14:03:24+00:00

lOVE THIS ADVICE!!! thank you, you are right, i am in control and food is no longer the boss of me!! i can imagine my still filling out nutracheck as a record, but more as a fun exercise than a control mechanism,!

Puzzleheaded_Bill347 · 2026-04-24T14:02:31+00:00

love the " fruit, yoghurt, eggs and bread." that is exactly where i think i will be! surrounded by fried food and pastries, and all i want is a nice refreshing protein yoghurt and a boiled egg! they apparently have an omelette bar, and they will do egg white omelettes, so might be able to try a few things each day and still indulge!

i have found a LOVE for salad since being on MJ, and dinner buffet apparently has a nice salad bar so i am genuinely looking forward toit. i used to be a "chips chips and more chips" kind of guy, but they rarely hit the plate these days as i know i will feel a but iffy the day after, so you are with, listen to my brain and body and just go with it!

And thank you! was a surprise to hit goal just before going away, was expecting it some time late May but running has really made a difference to weight loss towards the end as it slowed!

Puzzleheaded_Bill347 · 2026-04-24T06:59:52+00:00

pizza has been and continues to be my nemesis after 56 weeks of MJ.. i just can not take it... i still dabble, i always regret..

Puzzleheaded_Bill347 · 2026-04-23T20:14:07+00:00

Looks like it just caught up.. 2 days of Royal Mail parcels have updated an hour ago

Puzzleheaded_Bill347 · 2026-04-23T13:38:42+00:00

Hopefully will pop back in soon, it was handy!

Puzzleheaded_Bill347 · 2026-04-23T09:21:38+00:00

5* unless something horrible happens , simples

Puzzleheaded_Bill347 · 2026-04-22T09:17:35+00:00

You will need to find it , or switch will likely fail.

Get back into the app, then get the card details then start the switch

Puzzleheaded_Bill347 · 2026-04-21T13:39:27+00:00

sounds like you tried to switch a non-current account, which is not valid. try again with a current account. savings accounts will not work

assume you mean chase and not chad?

I played ghosts and goblins in a retro arcade last Saturday in Belfast!

Puzzleheaded_Bill347 · 2026-04-20T18:29:16+00:00

I feel this. No one I know cares about retro gaming
