    I know but the bank was in the opposite direction to the Post Office so I just headed home. It's warm and sunny down my side, so we are going to celebrate with a day out (probably a trip to the zoo) and bank the cheque on the way.
    ETA - posting on here is helping to keep me calm, while OH gets the boys ready.

    don't spend it - invest it.
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    Fabulous :D Can't imagine anyone not being anything but pleased for you!

    Difficult whether to think it's money you didn't have so spend it ;) Or whether to put towards education, wages (to enable a part time role if you're working, or to at least let you stay home for longer if not), car, holiday...

    Oh God, I wish I had that dilemma LOL.

    ENJOY :beer:
