    Decided to do both!;)

    On the phone (on hold) for Singapore Airlines. When I went to print off our tickets it says the card I used to pay for the flights hasn't been validated!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: It asks me to take the card I used to pay with me when I check in - the card expired in May and I destroyed it!!!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Please let this be sorted out easily:o.

    Have updated a couple of listings on Gumtree, and responded to a query asking for measurements on my sofa! Please don't buy it before the weekend, or me and my guests will be sitting on the floor.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Just had an email from a buyer interested in a mirror I've advertised only half an hour ago - sounds like they want to come and collect it.:j:j

    I am SO glad I phoned Singapore Airlines!

    Turns out because the card is no longer in date, I have to print off my bank statement showing the transaction to Singapore Airlines and take it with me for check in. Can you imagine if I hadn't bothered checking.:eek::eek::eek:

    What if we couldn't have boarded our flight?!:eek::eek::eek:

    Carpet cleaners coming tomorrow - will sort out the rest of the house today after some running around. Also have some letters to post and a couple of ebay parcels. Busy busy me:D.
