Late last night my friend contacted me and told me that she was not feeling well so her housewarming get together will have to be cancelled. She was hoping to do it on Sunday instead. Then this morning she text again saying that she was feeling better and that the party was on again today. We decided to have a sleep in this morning so when I got her text at 9:30 this morning we were still in bed. She lives over an hour away no way we could make it for lunch.
After breakfast, as we planned we went to our bank. Well, unfortunately they don’t open on Saturday anymore. We went to another branch the same story. So now I will have to go to the city during the week to deposit my cheque, DH can get his one done on Monday there is one just across his office. I will go when the weather gets a bit better. In the last two days we’ve had what we call ‘typical’ Melbourne weather, which is having four seasons in one day. Actually today it was more like four seasons in an hour. The sun would shine and it would be nice and warm but then all of the sudden it would start raining and be icy cold.

7 Sept: 10,032 steps (had to do a bit of pacing up and down to get to 10K lastnight)
I’m already over 10,000 today have been walking a bit. When we went to the second branch we decided to also go to the Asian shop across the road too to get some groceries. Instead of parking close by, where it is crazy especially on Saturdays, we decided to park 2 blocks away and just walk the rest. We also went to Costco this afternoon and did a bit of walking around then too.
Near Costco there is a store called Royal Doulton, they were having a sale up to 80% off. I got this for $2.95, down from $10.
Well since I bought this I guess I don't have enough now...
I'm having tea with it right now 
Change of plans

...don't you have ATM machines there?

I guess you are suggesting to deposit the cheques through the ATM. To be honest I've never done that, I don't know how to (but could probably figure it out) and don't really trust that. There has been a lot of ATM robberies around here that I just don't want to risk it. I would rather wait I guess.

I suggest taking a photo of the cheque for your personal comfort and trying the ATM deposit system for it's simplicity.

We've actually tried getting DH to deposit my cheque before but they wouldn't accept it eventhough the account is joint one with both our names on it.
Oh well, I will just see it as another opportunity to have another lunch date with DH. I need to get out of the house once in a while anyway. I will probably go either tomorrow or Wednesday.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys and I will asked the bank about these options when I go.
