    Oh Suzy, I'm so sorry.

    Luc, I hope the little boy gets better soon.

    Elfen, don't overdo it.

    LMC and Tenmah, it's a Vauxhall Insignia diesel. It's huuuuuge but it's got parking sensors so hopefully I'll be ok.

    Ooh you are brave, I hate parking big cars!

    Suzy - I saw something on the tv last week (or week before) with Dominic somebody or other about these deposit chutes! - They were investigating the loss of someones money. I paid attention cos I had just used one for the first time. After seeing that, I don't think I'll bother in future. Apparently the UK are behind other countries in their technology with these things. Hope you find the money.

    Suzy, did anyone see you put the money in the envelope? I'd suggest writing to the head office, cos i did wonder if this is waht they say, whether the bank person who handeled the envelope would pocket the cash.

    Thanks for your support everyone.

    Scaredy - no, unfortunately I was on my own. The same thought about the cash being pocketed occured to me too, but they say two people check and count the money. I think I'll go into the bank again tomorrow and try to speak to someone and ask to see the copy they've made of my deposit slip. I just can't believe I've lost £100......

    Did you speak to a manager, Suzy? I'd say still write a letter, after all, if you were trying to pull one, you would say you put in £530...

    I know Scaredy....I am just doubting myself over everything now. I know I didn't split the money up and took it all with me, but it's my word against the system.

    The managers aren't there until Monday, but I think I'll go in tomorrow in any case and see what my next step is. I was told I could raise a complaint, but I'm not sure what I'm compaining about.

    I wrote the paying in slip incorrectly and put the money in - noone else. I mean....what proof do I have that I put the money in? Anyway....my family is fit and well and happy. It's a lot of money, but at the end of the day if it teaches me to concentrate on what I'm doing it might save me a lot more in the long run.

    I just hate feeling so stupid.
