    Ohhh I have also found the lost cheque/cash point card. Still no bus tickets but I think those are lost forever. However I have factored in the tickets on this soa and I am learning from my mistake and only carrying around one with me at any one time :D Dont know if to phone the bus company to see if a driver found them on his bus?

    That's something at least, PaP. :T

    And, yes, I think I would ring the bus company - there are still some honest people about.

    PaP is, indeed very organised with her money - unfortunately this can not be said for all of us - in my case it was a distinct lack of being organised with money that brought me to these boards in the first place.
    But I am learning. :rolleyes:

    Hey PaP,

    Do you have a receipt or a statement from your card (if you paid by debit card) for your bus tickets?

    My colleague at work lost hers the other day, week long ticket and she had a mini statement from cash machine (she bought her ticket at the sales office not on the bus) and it had the exact amount of the weekly ticket on it, and she went in and asked if there was anything they could do, and they re-issued her with a ticket because she could proove she paid them for a weekly ticket...

    Just an idea, its always worth asking. If you dont ask you dont get etc

    Ohhh no idea gem, I think I will just sell it seeing as its going to cost be about £50 for a graphics card (due to the 'old' slot I have in my pc). Also I have it on my ds now so its pointless having it on two machines :D

    Thanks for your help and suggestins though :A
