    Hi all,

    firstly...AnWsMum...thinking of you all. xxx

    Right, I've done some flying, we went to Ikea the other night to get some drawers for our bedroom, we have those thick chunky pine one, very solid but not big enough so we've bought some different ones.

    Also an excuse for clothes sorting.

    So far, sluiced path outside.

    WM x 2

    TD X2

    DW x1

    Waffles made and scoffed.

    2 binbags filled and various small bags filled.

    Old food ditched.

    Partial worktop wiped.

    kitchen floor swept.

    Eggs collected, silkie still hopping, poor thing.

    Need to hoover front room, hubby not feeling too good but he's hoping to satrt assembling the furniture.

    We have some major ebaying to do also.

    we are going to swimming lessons soon and then to the panto with Nan.

    GTG byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee xxxx

    What she said.

    seconded!

    Can anyone give advice please?

    DD1 has tried to sort out her own phone contract with 3 ( other one runs in my name/through my account)

    she chose her new phone and input all her details.

    To set up a DD it required her bank details ( fair enough) and her debit card details!

    Why does it require her debit card number for a DD? She has pulled the plug and emptied her basket and is looking very glum indeed.

    Surely there is no need for her to give her card details? There is no charge for the phone -we checked and confirmed but it would not let her continue without inputting these details...


    In view of the amount of hacking happening atm (eg Lush) she is insistent that as few people have her card details as is strictly necessary.........

    Ironing continuing ....anyone for a HHI 1.40 - 2.10?

    Cycling.. they use it as part of the verification process/credit check as Id same as a normal transaction with money coming out of the account.. We had to do the same with Orange and O2..It is quite normal.. they don't normally store the details on their system unless you have to ring to make payments.
