    Thanks @cherryfudge

    I am pleased to report that Child Benefit issue has been solved without even a phone call! 😁 After a bit of searching on the website I came across a link to a HMRC app - I didn’t even know this existed! I logged in and within a few clicks I saw that they have just split the payment and I can expect the top up in a couple of days. I can also see the end dates for both children and all looks good, so I am guessing it was just a short delay in processing the extension and now all resolved. 👍

    Time for a much needed break and cuddle with big dog (he insists!), then on to looking for something I can most usefully do to help future me stay on track (I have finished work early for the day since I have to go in on Friday which should be my day off).
