that's ok Sally - I didn't do very well overall!!

No, she wasn't there - too many 'commoners' there really for her. She'd probably rather be seen at a polo match etc.......(similarities between her and horses were obviously far from my mind....:rotfl: )

ha ha BB!!

My little ratbag of a daughter has just come in all sheepishly...you know they have done something wrong don't you. Bloody red glitter all over the table and now its everywhere so we will all be sparkling away red glitter grrrrr

Burlesque_Babe

!!!!!!............just done an online purchase and then somewhere else and the second one was declined for no reason. Am on phone to bank and apparently a 'corrector' has been put on and a stop on my card for possibly an 'internet transaction that might not have gone as well as it could'...........she is trying to get the department - who might have 'gone home'...........

Burlesque_Babe

sorted................apparently the system had (for some unknown reason) thought there may be fraudulent activity and put a stop on my card. They could see the repeated tries I'd made (at Pets at Home) but there was nothing wrong other than for a random 'it might have been fraudulent' and apparently it wasn't anything I was doing wrong.

I asked if it was because I'd used it in quick succession and she said not. Sorted now, bit of a pain, it would be embarrassing if it happened in a shop!!

That online card block has happened to me too the bank rang me straight away though (within the hour) they monitor the usual activity on your account and put a stop on anything they see as unusual.

Surely they must realise that people are Christmas shopping now though:rolleyes:

Ihave to confess..........the first purchase was 2 of those tubs of Mayflower sauce to try......... :whistle:........

Tut, I might have to order some now :rolleyes:

Burlesque_Babe

I found some that was excellent in the chinese supermarket we have here, it will be interesting to try a different brand.
