Banks!!!

We were expecting Jane to ring up at lunchtime about her appointment at the bank. Which she did and she was very upset that apparently her cheque hadn't cleared, the money was in her accounts but it wasn't cleared for taking out. No, I don't understand it either.. This meant that she would have a problem when she met the new landlord this evening. She has a deposit to pay and a first months rent etc which came to a fair bit. She said there was a block on her account for some reason which was being dealt with so we couldn't put money in for her either. Complicated lives there kids lead! Anyway, she rang up some time later to say that she had been in another branch of NatWest and got her money out without any trouble! So what on earth is that about? Poor Vin got a real earful..every little detail..but that's Jane Bless Her!
Vin has been in the garden all day today scratching away at the paving flags trying to deal with the moss. One of the troubles of having plants in pots is that they do get weeds round their bases, it is by no means maintenance free gardening as he has found out.
Dobbies has a sale tomorrow so we will probably go there to see if they have any wooden seats reduced.They might do..
Banging everywhere today..the neighbour who is always having something done is having something done to her chimney stack..the one the other side is is tiling his bathroom, very nice for the landlord..mind you he was complaining that his wife had bought cheap tiles and they were proving hard to cut..you get what you pay for obviously. And, the dentist two doors down, not to be outdone is having a brand new upstairs bay window fitted. What is it with all these alterations!!

Vin's little patch of Heaven..
