The chatty painter finishes today. As Mrs Nick fled the house this morning she said " Can you pay him before he leaves?"

I asked him how much.

I honestly don't know where I could find that amount of cash at short notice. Don't the banks only allow you to withdraw £200 a day. I know when I needed to do more than that I had to jump through a silly amount of hoops.

Fortunately, and for reasons I cannot explain, I have three current accounts and therefore three debit cards.

This does not make me any happier!

Yes... must be at least a grand...  whistle:

I expect he carries a few grand in Krugerrands around with him too – for when he really farks up!  point:

Sorry but mine allows me up to £300 and the other one lets me withdraw £250 from the hole in the wall but £500 if I go in and stand in a queue. You need to get your affairs sorted my dear, jumping through hoops indeed ...... you could raise more than £200 on the town hall steps.

True but Wenchy's bank has probably taken her Tat and Wispa addiction into consideration and thats why her withdrawal limit is lower than your...  whistle:

To be fair generally it isn't a problem. I don't tend to deal in large amounts of cash. It was only because the bloody funeral home/crematorium wanted paying in cash.  evil:
