Well today my bad news is mainly that I got banned from my local Wilkins Honestly, some staff just don't know how to take a joke :rolleyes:

I'll be back in a week and doubtless they won't recognise me anyway with my chameleon like qualities

Oh it's a long story but I kinda threw one of those old woman shoppers off a shelf in a strop

Then I kinda threw a football across the store to my mate

I almost got thrown out of Wilkinsons last month. My daughter had filled out the forms for a new passport and had got photos but we needed to cut them and we were in town. So we went into Wilkinsons to find some scissors that we could use. I didnt want to buy them and most of them were tied up with plastic but I found some in a boxed set so I squeezed open the box and manouvred the scissors out. I bent the box a little. A woman assistant was kind of watching me so I scuttled out of sight of her to cut the photos and my dd said I looked really suspicious, like I was shoplifting and i was right under a camera. Well, I put them back in the box without any damage but I half expected to be stopped when we left the store but we werent and we posted off the passport application.

My bad news is that we've been paying these incredibly expensive school fees and i got a call from the school to say that my ds has been taking loads of time off; he should have gone in yesterday and today and he didnt, thats just for a starter. Anyway, i spoke to his tutor about him being addicted to computer games and sitting up all night and he said take the computer away from him and I said, kind of weakly, I suppose that is an option and he got really annoyed and replied its the only option, hes going to totally screw his life up if you dont. So anyway I told OH and I was on the other computer looking at this site (the one my son uses) and OH came over and stamped on the keyboard and totally wrecked it and ripped the wires out of the back of it. So now we have only this laptop that we share between the 3 of us and I know i'll be last in the pecking order.

But thats the least of my problems.

And now OH & DS have had a cosy little chat and have decided that they are going to go fishing together and have been looking up fishing rods on ebay. They have found a good deal £120 for 2. SOB All my ebay profits gone in one foul swoop.

Take whats left of his computer away and sell it all piece by pice.

If he wants a new one, he can get a part time job and pay for it himself.

Time to get tough BIG TIME!!!!!!

Im in a harsh mood today, and it will do him the world of good.

Grrr! I am sooo fed up today (putting it nicely!).
Last month I logged on to my online bank account and found that I had managed to go 53p over my overdraft limit, It had been overdrawn for a week, but due to various reasons, I had not checked the account.
Today when I checked it I found out that they have charged me £30:eek: for going over my limit by a whole 53p:mad: This in turn has now taken my account over my limit ensuring that next month I will again face charges I have brought my account back into credit again but know that I will now have to get an extra £30 into it to cover the charges, this means that because I went over my limit by a measly 53p, I will have had to pay £60 in charges plus the higher interest rate:eek:

I would dearly love to claim back my charges from them, but as I also have a CC and loan with them, I am too scared to in case they close my accounts and demand all of the money (just short of £10000). There is no way on earth that I could afford to pay it all at once, so looks like they have me over a barrell:(

Sorry, needed to rant
