RosesandLilac - I believe the bank will give you cash in that situation if you go in to the branch with ID.

Rosesandlilac! What a nightmare. I assume you will be reimbursed.
Morning from West Oxfordshire.
I am off to be London to meet daughter, elder son and granddaughter. We are going to an Open Day at the Transport Museum in Acton. Lunch first at a Persian Restaurant.
Have a good day.

Good morning from south Gloucestershire, it’s another chilly start but dry here.
Yesterday was horrible. Apparently my bank card has been cloned and the bank has put a stop on it just as I go away for 5 days 😢, new card will take 5-10 days to arrive. Thousands have been taken from my account at 12.59.
I have some cash in my purse but nowhere enough and absolutely no means of getting access to more. DH is away, I don’t have any other cards, my only neighbour I could possibly ask for a loan from is in the USA.
I ended up with a migraine and the only option I can see is to cancel the painting holiday.
Very stressed and anxious.
Sorry to moan, x

Good morning from Rugeley Travelodge where it’s dry but still dark.

Thanks for asking, Susan56, but we had an horrendous journey yesterday! It took us 7.5 hours from Torquay to here! The M5 was so congested we abandoned it in favour of A roads then M42 until near Lichfield. We had to cancel our restaurant booking with friends so we’re calling on them this morning for coffee instead. Later we shall see my son and his new girlfriend.
Our weekend can only get better!

Have a good one, if you can! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from Bristol. Not looked out, but it promises to be dry.
My bathroom saga rumbles on… the surveyor now wants plans of the bathroom and the area where a stud Wallis to be removed; then wants the plasterboard to bed tested when the work has begun! How long do those tests take to be done? I have a feeling I shall be without a bathroom for months. Added to this my lovely plumber has had enough of those shenanigans and is threatening to pull out completely. Oh dear.
I had a nice walk downhill to my good Spanish class. Was rather dreading the return, but one of the students took me home.
Quiet afternoon - tea with neighbour, DD called briefly to return some cake tins, I made some ginger nuts and a Dorset apple cake to take to church this morning. We are having an autumn clean.
May today E kindto you all especially those in any sort of distress. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning to you all from a caravan in Heacham, weather should be good today so great walks along the beach, we have the grandchildren with us so great fun this weekend.

Enjoy your weekend

Good morning from Shropshire.A sunny day forecast.

A busy day today looking after the children and later helping DD prepare for H’s 4th birthday party tomorrow.His party is normally a garden party but the weather forecast isn’t great so we will be moving furniture and getting the house party ready.
He was star of the week at school yesterday.DGD was very proud, all her friends cheered when he got his award but poor H was a bit overwhelmed.

Everyone is still asleep so I am wondering if I can go downstairs and make a cuppa without waking anyone😂

Hope you get some volunteers baubles.Not many shifts left now.

Ash I hope the journey to Stafford wasn’t too uncomfortable and Mary that your foot is feeling better🤞🏻

Have the best day you can everyone🌺🦩

Good morning from South Lanarkshire. Dark outside but I think it’s dry.

It’s a holiday weekend here but I’m working today and Monday, I just hope I have some volunteers.

DD is going to see a litter of puppies this morning, she’s hoping that one of them will be coming home with her in a few weeks.

Wishing everyone the best day possible especially all those with troubles.
