Just went onto online banking to see if last load of lambs had been paid yesterday. Nearly s..t myself. OD was at a respectable level. Closer inspection reveals scotgov has paid out BPS loans overnight. Anyone else had same fright. ? Well done for getting it out early, but almost too early?

Lambs haven’t been paid🤬🤬

Post man got it ?

Aye he’s maybe ran off with it! Emailed last week and they said they’re still sending out loan offers yet and were hoping to have them all out by end of August but obviously not happened. Thankfully not as desperate for it this year as I have been in the past!

Yeah a bit annoying seeing others with money in the bank before I’ve even had the offer but could be worse off. I’ve always been quite quick to be paid up til now so maybe my turn to be at the bottom of the list [emoji28]
