I would like everyone who reads this to devote a few seconds to thinking how lovely the lady in the liaison office is.


This is for the simple reason that she is lovely. And is forwarding my application with a cover letter on my behalf noting the lack of cheque and its progress. And has not laughed at me, or my incompetence.

Also had a nice chat with my mother this morning in which we vowed to hex all banks everywhere until they let us keep our cash in a shoe-box under our bed. Oh yes, and a plague on all their houses. Well, it counts as a nice chat to us... :)
