Milann’s mutterings through retirement

Sorry to hear of your injuries they sound horrendous. Well done to the NHS on treating you so promptly, I hope you manage to avoid surgery and recovery goes as smoothly as possible 🤗

it’s actually Tuesday not Monday I go back to the hospital….got myself mixed up. I have a phone appointment on Monday afternoon which has been arranged for a while. It’s with the pain clinic and several people are apparently in on the call. I have to go through a video link at 1 pm….not sure what to expect and don’t really fancy it.
It was my friends 40th birthday and we’d been invited to the party this afternoon. I popped over for a short time as I knew there would be people I wanted to see there. I was glad to get home though. Think we were only out for an hour.
i think the best investment I’ve made recently is a neck fan…..worth every penny for keeping me cool 😄 I ended up sleeping downstairs again last night as I don’t think I could get up from lying position in the bed with the heavy plaster on my arm, and instead of having it around my neck I had it over my legs pointing towards my tummy. I slept better than I have in a long time 😀
I haven’t spent any money over the last couple of days. I do want to get some cash out as I’m going to change my bank account and don’t want to get caught out if there’s any problems with the change over. My bank is being taken over and there isn’t a a branch where we’re moving to. The bank I’m going to is offering £175 for a switchover and there’s a branch on the high street so I think it’s a no brainer.

An absolute no brainer to swap banks ready for your move. Just make sure that if there is anything you need to do to get the £175 that you actually do them! I missed out when I swapped an account to First Direct as one of the conditions was to pay in £1,000 and I hadn't spotted that and only paid in £800!

Thanks Denise…..I’ll check the small print. As far as I can remember it just needs 2 direct debits. Ds went in to transfer an ISA last week and that’s when I decided to make the move after seeing the advert and we’d spoken to staff about it but I wanted to cancel some standing orders and check dates of cash entering and leaving the accounts before I committed.
