    Absolutely shattered this evening. Had a whole day of an external resource acting as an internal auditor across six different audits, plus a run through of our compliance with EN 1090 - my brain is overflowing! It’s been a productive day though and it was interesting to me to understand how much I have learned about the business already 😊

    Two lots of NW £100 turned up today. I have shuffled one off to savings to keep for a meal out for Mr KK and myself and the other has become an OP with a further 7p TT.

    Mr KK is turning the house upside down like a happy whirlwind, as he is packing for his 10 day trip to France with his best mate 😉

    Do you have separate accounts with NW? We have a joint account and one linked savings and have only received one x £100, although we both got separate texts.

    We've got a joint account and received 2 x £100 like we have all the other times. Maybe there was a mistake? (Hopefully the mistake is on your account, not in giving us two lots!!)

    Thank you, we got 2 x £50 earlier this year so I thought we would both get it.

    @CCW007, that’s exactly what we have. I have no idea why we would and you wouldn’t …? 🤷‍♀️

    Thanks @LadyWithAPlan 😊

    Mystery solved, OH has another NW account and the £100 has been paid into that. Thank you both for confirming!

    She’s not too bad. 😊 She’s eaten her dinner and had a good go at her tea. She’s just coming in and out a lot more than before, which leads me to think she is looking for him. She is currently asleep on Mr KK’s bed 😊

    It’s getting busier in work now - I have reached saturation and told various people that I need no more new projects until we have knocked some over! Good though, I am enjoying it 😊

    Came home at lunchtime yesterday but it was too hot to do very much (did do three weeks worth 😳🙄😂 of financial transactions updates!), so I had a really chilled afternoon reading and crocheting, which meant I felt like I had been on a weekend by the evening yesterday, which was lovely. 

    I have washing and food delivery to wrangle this morning. Going to pop out for a bit this morning and then hide out in the cool this afternoon. 😊
