Sorry if I’m a bit late this morning, I had to go to the bank at 7.40.
You know how it is… You sit down to start the day by typing random thoughts off the top of your head, and then something catches your eye, and you think, ‘I must check if I have recorded my pension income from last year because the accountant will need it in May,’ and off you go on a side quest.
This was, I suspect, triggered by an email from the accountant replying to one I’d sent yesterday. I asked if they could send over my papers to KEP to ensure that I remain insured under Neil’s AMKA for another year, and they replied this morning to let me know it had been done and we’re both insured through to February next year. That’s a relief, and a great service.
Meanwhile, I decided to take screenshots of my income so far through this tax year, because, if you leave it too long, the online bank system won’t let you go back that far. So, I start to log in only to receive the dreadful news that my password needs changing. Neil had to do this the other day, and for one reason or another, had to go to the bank to sort it out. You need your current password, and in Neil’s case, the system wouldn’t accept it, even though it was correct. I had the same thing, and although I knew I was right, I had to go down the ‘Forgot your password’ route, which always feels like you’re taking the walk of shame while insisting ‘No, I haven’t, it’s right there, malaka, but you’re not accepting it…’ Luckily for me, it messaged me a code, then an email (neither of which it would send when Neil tried the other day), and I could get into the system that way, not that I like to look at my bank account these days. With the rent taking up over 62% of my pension, there’s never anything to play with in there.
Still, the side quest was achieved, but not what you want early in the morning, and so, I can set about the day. Well, set about making another cup of tea before I start work.
It looks like it’s going to be another pleasant one out there, although it looks like it might be a wet weekend.
