Oh I have checked, repeatedly, via several people, and they all have come back saying umm, ahh, the 24th, but that’s what they said about the annual leave last month and then they didn’t pay me. The whole process of leaving has been a complete disaster from start to finish and not just me but seemingly for lots of people who left through the same Voluntary Leavers Scheme. No matter what they say, the trust in them actually doing what they say has totally gone. I just have to sit and wait it out now.

If you are able to get a cheque book, there was an old trick (I was an impoverished student in the 1980s) where you pay by cheque, timing it to arrive on the right date but it will take a couple of days to clear, by which time funds have arrived in your account. I don't know if this would still work now that cheques don't have to be physically handed over.
What a lovely Pets at Home lady. 😇
I'm sorry you're in such pain and I hope it eases soon. This windy weather can't help.
I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
