Grr, do you remember a while ago I kept getting calls from hsbc saying my card had been used fraudulently just cos I was depositing a tenner at a bookies? Well last night this happened again, it wouldn't let me deposit. I've just had a call from Coral to say my card has been copied again and they need to send me another one , so the current one can't be used and the new one will take 5 working day to arrive :mad: Think its time I looked for a new bank, am sick of this :mad: :mad:

Bah to the bank card thing - that is not much help when you want to make numerous deposits as we do!

I too have to do shred before I do anything else, otherwise I get sidetracked. So the laptop, and the kettle, have to wait until I have had my 20 mins of torture.....but it does get it out of the way for the day, and gives me 2 or 3 extra WW points instantly, which I can always make good use of

My CSA money takes 4 days to get to my account so don't give up just yet.

Hair is done, not that impressed with it; its not as blonde as I wanted, more mousey than blonde, and the top of it is still really heavy and long (my hair is really thick and heavy) so while its similar to the picture its more mumsy than chunky and funky Anyway, thats my birthday money gone now and I needed to put in £7 from my money too, and then I spied a cute Accessorise beaded/sequin bag in the charity shop window for 99p, at last a charity shop that doesn't charge ridiculous over the top prices :T

Back from mums, she called me and asked me to pop over as dad had lost his wallet He did this recently and she cancelled his cards and ordered new ones which turned up on monday ... only he's done it again. We searched everywhere for them, and I mean everywhere, including in the freezer, the pond etc. He hides things anywhere and everywhere. Normally she looks after it and only gives it to him if he's going out with me / my sister, as he doesnt need it when he's with her, but somehow hw remembers finding where she keeps it, taking it, but can't remember where he put it

After a couple of hours of searching and then cancelling them I sat and had a chat with him. They went to look at a care home this week forhim to go into for the odd week of respite care and also to give mum a proper break as she's exhausted from it 24/7 Not a nice conversation to have with your parents and not one i want to repeat anytime soon
