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?

My arms can't drum no more op

AnneShirleysNewDress · 20/08/2021 16:11

Are you lighting a fire to boil the kettle?

Bakethecakeeatthecake · 20/08/2021 16:11

The drum roll was a step too far

Ironmanrocks · 20/08/2021 16:11

Seriously. My battery is on 7%. HURRY UP!

ladymuck111 · 20/08/2021 16:12

Due to the longest drum roll in MN history I'm guessing 0.01p

The total amount was £130.57.

I do believe the closest guess was by @RobinPenguins congratulations!! Name the chocolate bar of your choice and I will post this luxury prize to you.

For those who are interested, I decided to buy school shoes out of money already allocated and blow my new found wealth on treats instead.

So far £35 on a much coveted hype hoodie for DS2.

I might go a luxurious bath oil.

That still leaves about £70. What shall I spend it on???? I have no idea!

The Caribbean will have to wait. I still have that stubborn 1/2 stone to lose after lockdown so maybe it wasn't meant to be. Just yet anyway.

Will celebrate tonight with a 🍷

Long may my luck continue and I hope you all have good luck too. Cheers to that.

Well a cuppa and not champers speaks volumes :)

SunshineCake · 20/08/2021 16:15

A good thread is easily spoilt when the OP enjoys some perceived power too much..

Also, not the longest drum roll in history. One mumsnetter had four threads for hers.

CrazylazyJane · 20/08/2021 16:15

I'm guessing £74.45

Just sorting out my late father's estate. My sister and I got excited when NS&I said that he held previously unknown premium bonds. The letter today has informed me that he held £5 worth, which has been deposited into my bank account and informing that the amount is not liable for capital gains tax Grin

OldTinHat · 20/08/2021 16:16

I've been watching this all day!! Hurry up OP, my phone is nearly flat! Are you taking us all to the Caribbean with you, fully inclusive? Or sharing a Marsbar between about 300 of us?! 😁

Lemondrcps · 20/08/2021 16:16

I would buy a lottery ticket in case your on a lucky streak

Benjispruce5 · 20/08/2021 16:16

Ah still a nice amount op. Enjoy!

WorraLiberty · 20/08/2021 16:16

Get yourself a hobby?

Better than a smack in the eye

Lets hope you have another long forgotten account next week
