    Have heard back from the Cov so they’re sorting it out now. 

    Also changed bank details in Payp@l app.

    Finally cashed out £25 from Opinium, I was 35p away and managed to grab a 50p survey. So that’s swelled the coffers for October survey totals. Another place where I had to change bank details! 

    I will be dreaming about banks tonight!

    Reminds me of a course I went on where we had to tell the group 3 things about ourselves. I had my 3 ready until the guy next to me said his 3 
    My name is …..
    I am 42 Years old
    I am still sexually active

    my 3 suddenly seemed very basic !!

    One of the advantages of being retired - No more iice breakers. I always found them a waste of time and more info was swapped during coffee breaks. Of course wfh and zoom calls etc  has change that.
