Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Southend - Code 73 - Parked without payment of the parking charge

Received a PCN earlier today. I parked in Essex Street Car Park to collect some items from a shop that was about to close. We left the car with the intention of paying via RingGo but forgot. Returned back to the car about 20 mins later, found the PCN. It had been attached to the car 6 mins after we arrived. I immediately paid the £1.76 for the parking.
Only been driving about a year, and this is the first parking fine - I'm normally so on it. We have been dealing with some difficult personal stuff today and I think that led to distraction. Is there any point in trying to appeal asking for leniency?
