    I had to transfer some money from my savings account to my bank yesterday so I can pay the builder. They sent me a code by text to confirm it was me. I keyed in the code they sent and it said it was incorrect 😕 Took 3 attempts before it was accepted, so frustrating.

    I’ve never been on the PB site before and have never had any passwords previously….the site just kept saying they didn’t match as I typed them in, when they very clearly did…I didn’t get as far as registering - so no idea what was going on. Im with Beanie and I’m not sure what you mean either Badmemory - but thanks anyway 👍 I’ll give it another go tomorrow 🤞
    I have been looking at the info from the chancellor this afternoon and one report seemed to suggest ESA only qualified for the £400 that everyone gets then I read another link that seemed to suggest you would receive more. Will see what transpires……..

    SA I remember trying to pay our builder by bank transfer….my bank kept saying it wasn’t secure so we ended up getting cash each time for him. He was insisting it was a secure site that he used all the time….I wasn’t going to chance it.

    It turned out to be quite a spendy day. I went out with some friends from the job before last. I haven’t seen some of them for years….twas rather lovely. We went to a local small chain that specialises in carvery meals. On my way home I nipped into B&M to stock up on decaf t bags, washing tablets and softener and nipped into Lidle for some fruit and veg. So £50 over the day 😳 and I forgot what I’d actually gone into B&M for……I wanted some twine 😏 I haven’t been out of the house since last Sunday, I didn’t walk very far, just from the carpark to where I was heading and I can hardly put my foot on the floor again…..it’s nearly 2 weeks since my ankle started playing up big time 😡

    Painted a fence panel this morning…..plan on getting more done this afternoon with help from Dh 😁. I’ll be so pleased if I can get the back finished today and move to the sheds at the side next week 😁😁

    Hooray fences at the back are complete. 😁 in between Dh has been building some models he had bought him for his birthday and  Christmas……once they are out and painted it should begin to look as good as it used to do 😁I’ll bring some of the buildings and people in to paint and repair over the next few weeks. We should really have done it earlier but neither of us could motivate ourselves…..the sunshine puts a different slant on everything 😁
