    The frog is still croaking. In my defence it's a wet weather frog, and today turned out quite nice so I went out with the dogs instead.

    [QUOTE=LameWolf

    Narc0 I hope you're able to recoup your losses re the phishing. A friend of ours had his cards scanned by a crook while they were in his wallet; total taken, over several cards, was over £4K, but thankfully he got it all back. He's now bought one of those wallets that resist scans *checks for proper name * - RFID blocking wallet. Mr LW has also bought one, and I got a little RFID card holder for my cards, so that it can't happen to us. I was wondering if that's what happened to you maybe?[/QUOTE]

    Thanks, the lady I spoke to agreed all 4 transactions seemed fraud and today when I checked the account 3 have gone and the other is showing in red. Yes Mr ionafan showed me his RFID card yesterday although when I researched them, views were very mixed. Apparently Equifax was hacked a while back, I don't have any debts or loans but have opened a couple of new accounts in the last year or so, it may be that triggered a credit check? Who knows.

    Just got a text from B*card to say the last amount I reported has been refunded, so that's good.

    Hang all wet washing up (will have to be inside due to the wet stuff falling from the sky. [/STRIKE] the weather was much better yesterday than it looked like it was going to be, so most got hung outside and dried beautifully.
    Pack for weekend away at friend's
    [STRIKE]Tidy our bedroom[/STRIKE]
    Pickle's bedroom
    [STRIKE]Bathroom[/STRIKE]
    Hall/stairs/landing
    [STRIKE]Living room[/STRIKE]
    Dining room i did some of this, but Hubby's work equipment has returned and is cluttering everywhere up.
    [STRIKE]Kitchen[/STRIKE]
    (Some rooms aren't too bad)
    [STRIKE]Slice & ice my birthday cake.[/STRIKE] This looked and tasted amazing (even if I do say so myself)
    Stuff to cellar
    Stuff to loft office.
    [STRIKE]Buy Pickle a potty! [/STRIKE] Ald! Baby event ftw!

    Not bad, today's list to follow.

    Pack general stuff for going away
    Tidy through house
    Empty bins (nappy, kitchen & food)
    Sort cat feeder out

    Check windows are shut

    Hmmm think that's all for now

    Morning

    Cake did some one say cake yum yum
    Kitchen is done
    WM is on, it is sunny here so it may dry today on the line, it rained most of yesterday so I didn't bother.

    Cat is not very well, seems to have something wrong with his back near his tail so he is off to the vets for a check up and what ever is needed, just don't tell him or he is likely to vanish...........
