I am on hold (26 mins at time of posting) for the HSBC Business Internet Banking Helpdesk.
Very concerned that, on logging in to download my September statements, I was greeted with 'your account has been locked due to too many unsuccessful login attempts'. I was then forced to provide all new details and sign a form that they need to review before allowing me access to my accounts again.
I was able to check my accounts around 9 am on their mobile app so something seems to have happened since then.

Lunch: scrambled egg and poached tomato on Morrisons wholemeal sunflower and spelt toast, red pippy corner yog, bramble jelly on wholemeal, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
Now waiting for the WM to disgorge the cottons so they can meet the TD.
Sun came out briefly and the rain has stopped from the deluge.
The chap who's supposed to give a quote for the roof hasn't turned up.
