    Just popping back to wish you well for this morning. 

    Trying to get cash out is a nightmare. I needed to draw out £10 to pay the window cleaner the other day and every cash point I went to was out of order! I like to have a bit of cash on me as quite a few local independent shops/cafes prefer cash as they're charged when you use a card.

    kayannie - thanks. I've been told we can't withdraw money from the local PO but I will investigate, because if I can that would be a good help and it would help keep that open, it's only a small one that at one time was just a PO but now it's a small food shop with a booth for the PO part, but at least we still have one. 🙂

    I use my bank debit card to withdraw cash from several different post offices, including one which is part of a small food shop - the PO part is separate from the shop tills. As you say, it helps to keep the PO's open.

    I hope all went well with your op. Put your feet up now & plan your flower garden. KA

    I’m glad it’s done and sounds like it will be worth it in the end despite not being straightforward. Also glad your family are looking after you well. You deserve it as you are very good to them ☺️
