Lloyds TSB sent me my monthly 'we've approved your loan' letter again today. "A reality cheque for your dreams" it says on the outside of the envelope. Inside there's a fake cheque made out to me for £1000 (down from the £3000 of recent months). All I have to do is 'activate my priority loan today' and the money's in my account. Have these morons learnt nothing about reckless lending? I think this practice should be outlawed. It's my own fault really. Bought a sofa at DFS last year and the compulsary interest free credit is managed by Llyods. Should have done what decent people do and gone to John Lewis. Right, grumble over and on with some work.

The permanent sale people? I don't trust them because of that alone. I once bought a small rug from CarpetRight and they asked for my name and address. I asked why and he said for the card payment, and I said well I don't give Tesco that information when I buy food so you don't need it either. He then wrote slowly and deliberately "Customer refused to give address" across the (large) receipt. I've never been back.

That was such a funny movie, I am glad that I wasn't the only adult that watched it.

Um the weather in the UK is a good indicator as to why we obsess over clothes shopping and houses - I wouldn't want to be out in the depths of, ooh, June in just a piece of white cloth. In the UK it wouldn't be a a worry-free life - just a short one. Remember a mans wealth is measured in experience not in money - although it is easier to have nice holidays with money.

I had one of them once. So I called up and said "Sure!". I was a student at the time so had 0 credit rating but the thing said I was pre-approved. So I'm on the phone to the poor sales drone instructing him to bring the money in unmarked bills and he says that I just need to answer a few questions to get approved. "But you said I was pre-approved" "Yes, absolutely. Pre-approved to apply for this line of credit". *click*

Sounds entirely believable. A friend was sent an application form for a credit card only to spend 30 minutes filling it in, returning it (own stamp required) to be told he wasn't suitable. I guess it's cheaper for the bank to get you to waste your time rather than pre-checking the people they send their mailshots to. Oh well. :|

Ah, yes, "all applications will be accepted". Accepted, yes; approved, no.
