I'm off to town today to check a dormant account.

I've had a letter from Santander to say I have q dormant Instant Saver account so I am heading into town to find out how much is in there.

Anyone want to help guess?

For background, I opened the account over 15 years ago and at that time was earning about £28k.

I drove a new car and saved up enough to travel the world, but what is left in this forgotten account.

Did I stash a cheeky grand. Or £100 to open it. Or is it empty or maybe containing £4.36.

I'm quite excited.

What do you all think?

This is going to be another Victorian Safe thread, isn’t it?

I’m guessing £187.31 but hoping for ten times that for you.

OK. I'm back.

Just putting the kettle on and will update very soon!

Ohhhhhh I'm hoping you've had good news

It's cup of tea news then. Not champagne news.

Oh COME ON

Hmm dragging it out takes the fun out a bit! Would have taken the same amount of time to post it.

3p from me……..

My thoughts too... Though I'm wondering what the "champagne threshold" would actually be. Where's the tipping point between popping the kettle on , and popping a cork. £300? £500? More?

I won an art competition at college but the art teacher was a complete a*hole and never told me, other students got to go to an exhibition of our work in central London and a presentation of prize winners. Teacher ‘forgot’ to tell me. A month or so later I received my prize through the post, lots of art materials and an abbey national savings account with £25 in it!

Yeah yeah

Well????

Ooh you tease

I propose this scale.
Prosecco news £50
Champagne news £100
Vintage champagne news £500.

I think £232.13

This is some kind of bet isn't it?

How many posts can i get on my thread?

Not a helpful update.....

I'm guessing £780.

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats
I agree Prosecco for £50 but champagne is probs at least £200. Say £20 a bottle and that’s 20% of your £200 gone?

£76.52

I'm here just to be nosey on the update

@FelicityBeedle
Compromise on £150?

@Itwasgoodwhileitlasted

Oh come onnnnn! That's a bit mean!

Shes been shoe shopping with children - deserves a cuppa.
