Anyone after a cheap laugh at my expense?

[UnctuousUnicorns]

My parents sent us a cheque in the post, just arrived today.
DH said, "I can't pay this in via the banking app; it's too big."
I said, "But it's just a normal sized cheque, surely?"
DH: "No, the amount of money it's for is too high - you cant pay that much in online!"

D'oh! 🤦‍♀️😳 😅😅

Thanks for the cheap laugh! 🤣 👍

What was your second thought after not reading the OPs subsequent posts?

You can only pay 1000 in most banks on the app. A family member gave me a cheque for 1100 for a holiday balance which I had booked and I had to go to branch.

Yes, my thought was not "they are boasting about how much money they have" but more "the limit isn't that high, it's a bit of a pain especially if someone is paying you back for something you've paid for".

I wish the cheque were to pay for a holiday! I've mentioned before on this thread that it's for a platform and ramp outside our door, which will enable me to leave the house much more easily in my wheelchair. Anyway, we've already booked and paid for our summer hol - 10 nights in a Travelodge in sunny I hope Scarborough in July. Go me and my jet setting lifestyle! 😎 ☀️ 🛩️ 😅

Thanks, I have a sock buddy to enable me to get sock, and leg of pants and leggings onto my bad leg. Balancing on my good leg while holding on to something with my right hand to stop myself toppling over, while simultaneously yanking up pants and leggings with my left hand, is the bind, I'm sure you'll know what I mean.

After I once slipped down the gap between car seat and wheelchair and had to be hauled back up by DH, I bought another transfer board (I already had one in the house), which I use to slide along from seat to chair and vice versa - much easier and safer. We've also fitted wrist straps to the grab handle above the door and the headrest stem to make it easier for me to pull myself up. We've a Sportage, which has a built in handle on the passenger side in the central bit (where the gear stick and handbrake are), which is also very useful to hold onto.

A lot of finding what works for me has been trial and error, but we're getting there. 🙂
