@short_bird they've had a few of those outages in the past few months, hope they sort them out!short_bird said:I didn't ask them to be honest: with the Internet outages and the rest, I figured all sorts of oddities might be happening and I could wander in, read the last few pages and not post till I had opportunity to sort a new password.1 -
Hi @cathybird I have a question for you, I need cash for a craft fair on Saturday 1st, once I take the cash out can I count it as spendy day then, or do I have to wait until it is spent on the Saturday, I was hoping for a no spend day on Saturday to kick off November but I can understand that it won't be classed as spent until it is!? Thank you.
