Mon 301120 Missed Brixton Halfords 3PM appointment/Went Streatham/Norwood GPO

2 PM ALEXA ALARM WENT OFF/IGNORED IT/MISSED BRIXTON HALFORDS APPOINTMENT

I had set an alarm using my Alexa device to go off at 2 PM...reminding me to go to Brixton Halfords to get my bike looked at/fixed; unfortunately, I ignored the alarm...and, then, went straight back to sleep.

When I did awake the time was was past 3 PM; and, going on 4 PM. So, I knew I had missed my Brixton Halfords appointment which was for 3. 

That just means I will have to arrange making another appointment for a next time/day.

4:00 PM WENT TO VISIT STREATHAM NAT WEST/CLOSED


It was very important that I pay a bill of £25.00; only my current a/c. had insufficient money. 

So, although, I had the money cash...; I hadn't yet gone and deposited it. When I went to to Streatham Nat West, I discover the bank was closed; which made me think about going over to Brixton branch, instead; however, I thought I'd never get there in time...?!

My next thoughts were -(don't know why I didn't think of it before?)- go and visit West Norwood Post Office; and, I can make the deposit there; they usually close around 5:30 PM.

5:00 PM VISITED WEST NORWOOD POST OFFICE/OPEN

I arrived at West Norwood post office at around 5 PM; and, was really surprised to see a very long queue...; there must have been 15 or so people in front...and, due to Choronavirus 'social distancing'...the quite extended outside of the post office doors...and, onto the street pavements. 

I think, it must have been somewhere around 5:15 PM when I was, eventually, able to make my Nat West deposit...I paid in to my current a/c. using my debit card the sum of £30.00 (3 x £10.00 notes cash). Hopefully, that should cover the DDR-Direct Debit that's due on the 1st for £25.00 to Loqbox.
