    Hi guys :wave:

    I've just got in :eek: finished work, then OH visit to sort out his boiler, then picked littley up from Wednesday club at school went straight to Asda for a few bits and some cash, then the machine didn't give me it but it's come off my balance :mad: so, went back to OH's who gave me some cash so I could get some gas and will have to sort it at the bank in between the 3 jobs I've got tomorrow.

    Don't you feel some days like just giving up! *sigh* !!!!!!! :rotfl:I'm laughing or I'll cwy *pouts*

    Will the bank pay me back, I can hardly prove it didn't give me the cash can I? and do I go to my bank or the machine's bank? (Lloyds)

    On the flying front not been in to do my bathroom yet, got to go to the shop still for gas AND prep all the veg for tea.... may just stuff a brush up me @ss and sweep the floor whilst I'm at it lol

    Gonna catch up with the thread now and be humbled by all the important worries in peoples lives.

    Well, it may last me HH - drinking the cuppa I mean... :D
    Still not sure what's happening tomorrow yet, should know later tonight as they have lost the paint!!! typical, they've been moaning at me for ages to paint it...
    So as soon as I know tonight whether I'm going up there, I will let you know what time we can meet up tomorrow, is that OK?

    OK, can put it off no longer, on with the HHI now... :(:rolleyes:

    query the missed payout with your bank but give them as much info as poss ie date/time and amount of transaction - assuming it was a Link anyway. Forget it - read ladybirds post down there *points down thread*

    Hi girlies *waves* I'm home!

    looks like Tuesday and Wednesday for me and I have to open a paypal account I think so that my buyer can pay me (Australia). One item sold so better than nothing...

    Line of BONE dry washing outside which I will bring in and iron shortly. Just assisiting DD who has redisciovered reading and is reading Twilight and is finding some words challenging - am being asked for about a word a page - both pronunciation and definition.
    Spuds went well. Had two left over (uncooked) which I have mislaid...

    off to nag a couple of DFW flyers...ssee you later.

    Thank you Honey Bear
  • emm - I've had that happen to me before. I had to fill out a form from the bank who owned the cash machine, rather than my own bank iirc, and the money re-appeared in my account.

    Big hugs Lady-L.

    Rosepink - I think sewing is a good substitute. Re the lunch - how about a home made leek and potato soup instead of sarnies? Or a home made quiche using the cheese and ham with a little bit of salad? And hugs about the FiL paypal thing - and the cooker!

    Greenbee - you OK? How did your meeting go yesterday?

    Well, 'tis definite. No renewal after this 20 days (which means my last day, taking into account I'm off on Friday and the bank holiday will be, I think, 8th May). Hey ho - just over two years in one place on a contract basis is not bad. I need to concentrate big time on Plan B. So lots of vibes please ladies, either a peach of a contract turns up which is on my doorstep or I make Plan B a success...

    Off to fly

    Ok, checked my online account and looking at it I may have forgotten to take into account my ebay purchases when looking at the available balance on the mini statement I got, that together with my debit card purchase at asda adds up right. Will see what it says tomorrow morning and may actually still pop into the bank just to ask and make sure. Phew! thanks guys *mwah*

    I'm a big fat Doh head! :o:o

    Teenies just brought my washing in that I'd forgotten about lol nice and dry :j off to peel the veg for tea now cause I'm starving.

    LL sorry you aren't well, it's just the pits when you feel sick, hope you're feeling a tad better now ((((hugs)))

    and a ((((((hug))))) for Toots I luffs ya x
    and a (((((hug)))))) for Rosepink you've been doing so great recently, don't give up and DO NOT let that 'friend' of yours say anything about your house, what she should have for lunch is a knuckle sandwhich if you ask me, bloomin cheek.

    Be humbled, but don't think your worries are any less because of it - they worry you and are still important (not that you should worry about your worries IYKWIM :rolleyes:), but am glad to see you think you have it sorted. If not and it did take the cash without paying you, I would still contact your own bank and let them know as they can chase up the other company, or speak to both so you're covered. Hope it's the Ebay stuff ;)
