Back home on Monday, I discovered some scum had tried to forge another of my cheques for nearly £3000, (see the end of this when it happened earlier in the year) but the bank fortunately managed to stop it going through, alerted by the fact that the cheque's serial number was some 400 cheques into the future from the last cheque I signed last week! I spent all day sorting it out and was all stressed out again.
Today my mother is going for an 8-week check on her knee. At the six week check they said it had still not healed, so wanted to give it another 2 weeks before deciding whether they need to operate and wire it together. A bit of a worry considering she is 91 years old. Fingers crossed it won't come to that. I'm taking her to the hospital by car as the minibus ambulance transport to every appointment has not been without its problems. We used it because mum needed to be carried down my stairs while she was staying with me and couldn't bend her leg to get into a car. However for the last hospital appointment the minibus ambulance driver who collected her bent her knee without warning to make it easier for him to carry her, despite knowing she shouldn't bend it, and at the end of our appointment we had to wait FIVE HOURS in the hospital lobby for an ambulance to take us back home again, as they were all out on journeys. Never again, declared my mother, so we are attempting the journey in my car today. Wish me luck!

Oh lordy, Addy, you are having a rough time of it. I do hope life eases for you very soon. Glad you were spoilt by Kay though - good for her!

Happy (belated) birthday Addy and good luck at the hospital today. I like how you ended with that funny cartoon! :-)
Addy - change your bank account. Even if you stay with the same bank just get a brand new account with a new number that'll stop your issue hopefully.
I've never had it with cheques, although I did "lose" a cheque book once many many years ago in London. I remember a guy bumping into me at Victoria tube station so think that was when it was lifted. I never did have any sort of come back on it however. But Credit Cards have been cloned - often after I've paid for something in one of the following... Pub... Restaurant... Petrol Station. All places with low paid itinerant workers where it is easy to replace the machine with one that has s/w to scrape off all the numbers and your pin.
