Paying in a cheque via an app??? Whatever next! I thought it was the height of sophistication that I could pay it in at the post office! 😂😂
Just tried to check, but our app is down for maintenance anyway today 😂 and we're over at Mr Cheery's dad's anyway. Will send Mr Cheery to the bank in the week.11 -
You can also print out a paying-in slip and put them in the post. So no excuses Cheery9

😂😂 you lot 😂😂 the post box is at the post office so I might as well save a stamp if I'm doing it like that! But Mr Cheery will enjoy a little trip to the market town with the bank in anyway, so a nice excuse.14

Was just walking by and noticed your title, hope you don't mind me following to see how things progress. I've bookmarked your previous diary and will start working my way through it.

I’ve never paid in cheques other than at the branch over the counter or through the cashpoint either Cheery so you’re ahead of me even using the Post Office! Allowing for the first cheque going astray I’m pretty certain you will be keeping this one under lock and key until it physically leaves the house to go to the bank, whenever it suits you to be able to do that! 😁🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
