Fantastic news.

How does $$$ go missing anyway and I'm guessing they tried to blame you for it going missing?

I hope they issue an apology to you as it sounded like you weren't going through a nice time if you're also considering joining a union for protection.

I think you should treat yourself to something delicious tonight.

Old person hides cash away
they forget where they left it and search other places
they decide it was the carer who stole it
they find it later and call back to say it was found

Old people do be forgetting things lol

That gets me so angry.

It seems as a society we have forgotten that naming and blaming people can have serious consequences so you better be bloody sure. It used to be a sin to defame.

Exactly what StudSpud said, though in this case it was a little older and with health issues. And it did look like I was at least under suspicion.
Anyway apology has been extended and an Uber eats voucher has been sent, so that's something.
I was going out for dumplings tonight, so now I can go and enjoy myself rather than try and distract myself!
