I think I'll withdraw it and pay that off the BC, that'll leave me with £12.12 to pay off.
ETA - Have checked the BC and the transfer has gone out from there. Balance is showing a nice £40
I received a cheque from the DVLA for my old car for £6.66, I'll bank that at the weekend and that too can come off the BC. That will leave me with £5.46 remaining of the £12.12 0 -
Well done purple, everything looking to be going the right way.
That's really early to meet ds' teachers, not enough time to get a decent understanding of him/how his year is going? Still at least you know who they are.
