And there quite a few other financial queries/phone calls I need to make on Monday:
- open the dratted moneybookers account by phoning my dratted French bank.
- write a snotty letter to the managing agents of my apartment asking them why they're sending me snotty emails about a supplementary bill they've never told me about, when I paid the last bill only a month ago.
- phone my credit card, the one I pay off every month. I forgot, very unusually for me, and they've charged me an arrears charge. They may not make much profit from me, cos I pay it off, but I'm not having this, I'm already losing out cos its a charity card, profits to RSPB, rather than me getting the cashback. If they charge this, as well as the legitimate (but expensive) interest charge, then I'm off, I'm changing to Martin's best recommendation.

You go get 'em! Gosh you can be scary when you put your mind to it!

(which is a good thing! )

Quite right! Especially if you always pay them off, they should give you a bit of leeway (sp?).

You people with lists always make me feel so lazy

Hmm - sounds as though you are not having a good day financially - I hope this improves and soon!

Aww, squirrel, don't worry! :rotfl: Its just that I feel like I have a head like a sieve, and if I don't write it down, it won't get done - been doing it that way for 30 years now, and learnt it the hard way back in the day.:o

mizmir! Moi, scary? :rotfl: Well, actually, I can, its when I combine my working class Irish Liverpudlian history with my grammar school/university education... I call it middle class snotty :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: and its *very* effective, but more so in person, I have to say.

Takes me back. I'll never forget one time, I took a day off paid work to go to the pacifist organisation I was on the board for, and it was the day Thatcher let the Americans use their bases in Britain to bomb Libya - an adopted child of Gaddafi died in that bombing. Well, the three of us went to Grosvenor Square, to the American Embassy, and one of the workers told me not to get arrested because we had lots of paperwork on us that they could have confiscated. So I was very polite, but awfully, awfully persistent and one of the (British) police on the front line said to me eventually "I thought you were a nice girl!" Still makes me giggle :rotfl: :cool:

Dragon - yeah, its a lot of fussy detail, which is annoying, but it has to be done, I'm afraid [sigh....]

Wow.. if you can be tough in a situation like that then I'm sure credit card company will be no problem!

I agree lists are good, I just rarely have that much to do that I need to write one Pretty much all I have to do this weekend is tidy garden (done), go to evil Tesco (tomorrow) and finish a couple of job applications (tomorrow as my brain is suffering from being out last night :cool:)

Karmacat

Squirrel, I think on the whole its preferable to have been out last night! Sounds like you enjoyed yourself too! :cool: I'd like to adapt the "angry" smiley to a hangover, but I don't think it would quite come over! :rotfl:
