Thanks - paying in book has been requested. The envelopes are available in the Post Office according to what they told me.

Maybe. The last time I paid in a cheque was during the pandemic when the banks were closed but the post office was open.

I took the one last envelope they had for my bank. Now this situation might have been specific to covid.

I entered the incorrect details so could no longer use this envelope. I ended up contacting my bank who told me to send the cheque and a paying in slip to a processing centre in Northamptonshire.

The PO staff said words to the effect of, my bank don't always send out envelopes. But like I said this was during Covid, and things maybe different now. I have no idea. I suppose it depends on how convenient it is for you to get to the Post Office.
