I'm in the waiting room. It's all very scary. There are lots of horrible words like cancer and radiology around. I don't like this at all.

Hope it goes well.
No-one likes those words. I guess I'd be trying to remind myself that they've not just put those words there especially for me.

Quite often there is a screen.. It unhelpfully for the worried tells you all the other symotoms of life to watch out for....do you cough? Warnings about high cholesterol etc, make sure you pay for your parking.

Oh generali.

You poor thing. This has to mess with your mind.

Right, well. Mild is good. 'Probably', can you get that confirmed into a date?

I think the 'probablys' and 'possibly's are the worst parts of sh1tty health. I want dates, figures and where things are going right and wrong, those I can deal with . Waiting and possibility and maybe suck.

You wouldn't believe how hard I am finding it to get at my money. It's in the NWide....
Some weeks ago I went to a branch to try to get further forward - she gave me a card reader.
I tried to log on last week, spent some time on telephone support and it ended up they didn't think I had registered for online banking. They sent me a letter with a passnumber on it.
Sat down this morning to go through that. I needed the passnumber and the card reader and my debit card and my debit PIN number. As I don't use this account I didn't have my PIN number except I'd scribbled on a scrap of paper what the PIN number was.
So, you'd think that was it.

Tried to log on:
Customer number, OK, it's on the letter
Passnumber, OK, it's on the letter
Cardreader, OK, I've got it
Debit card, OK, I've got it
Put card in card reader, press button, type in the PIN, OK, I've got it.

Result .... "We seem to be experiencing some technical problems."

Dashed again..... they've got the biggest chunk of my housey money.

Gen, I don't know if it feels like it right now, but this all could have been so much worse.

It's crappy, but this is definitely on the better side of the spectrum. I'm not expecting you to feel relieved or even okay about it, but you can do this, you have slight superpowers. You'll have more after this.

NWide still same issues, link to service issues says no issues. I guess I'll have to get on the phone to them (again).

08:53 - on phone to bank. Same result, tried a 2nd browser and same result. He's checking it with his technical people .... listening to cr4p music.

09:10 - just off the phone. He made me register for Internet banking again ... and now I have to wait 3-5 business days (and it's Easter this weekend) to receive another letter that is identical to the one I received 2 days ago that says "Welcome to Internet Banking". He has no idea why I couldn't log on and registering again was their only solution.
