Your Day (apart from gardening) - what took place?

Glad that they sorted it out @ARMANDII it's very worrying when things happen like that. They take frauds very seriously.

We've had a few things happen, the first and second things were credit cards, we had to have new numbers. The third was somebody ordered a tv and hubby was called from Lloyds bank checking if we bought one, that was sorted. Hubby's mobile phone contract is with what used to be called Orange, somebody from there said that we ordered a phone but we didn't, he was told that it was somebody in the company trying to get a phone for themselves.

 

Hi,

Many thanks shiney; yes such stores are wonderful for me but unfortunately they are increasingly rare; DIY stores now have a few small items in plastic bags on pegs costing a small fortune; it's highly HRH will be buying a hammer and nails and he'd need more than four candles.



Anything at all to do with money needs taking seriously ARMANDII; you did the right thing to check the letter out before doing anything else; had it not been a letter but an email I'd have just added it straight to my blacklist.

A couple of years ago we suffered two unauthorized withdrawals on the same day from our account amounting to almost £1,000; I've very keen and check our online accounts at least once each day so I quickly reported the problem whilst the withdrawals were still "Pending". It caused me lots of hassle with the bank going through many security checks and I hope the criminals were traced. We didn't lose any money.

Kind regards, Colin.

 

We buy a lot of our supplies for a hobby business from a company called …… 4candles

@ARMANDII We had a similar thing happen with our business account some time ago where I had a call from the bank asking if we'd tried to buy something from Dunelm. As we shop there sometimes I checked with my wife and no, she hadn't shopped there recently. Card cancelled and a new one issued. I think my details were captured as part of the hack into Tesco as I had filled up with that card recently.

 

@Retired that was too funny! I hadn't seen much of the two Ronnies as I believe they only reran part of the series over here. Thanks for the laugh!

I've just finished my errands for this end of town. Later I pick up some other supplies on my way to the pub for a quick one and to drop off some seeds for a friend there.

Also I'm making another attempt to get my bell bottom pants and pattern to the correct dimensions. For heavens sake, the bell done up according to the pattern was huge. I just wanted a regular bell, not Big Ben!

 

Haven't worn bell bottoms since ... was it the late 70s. I think they are coming back in fashion again (as all things do) but here it is skinny jeans/jeggings/leggings which I prefer.

Apart from gardening, we met a friend for a light lunch and sat outside in the sunshine (the rain had passed).

 

@CanadianLori you'll be telling us next that you've never watched the chuckle brothers.

disclaimer: if you haven't, its not worth the effort of googling

 

No, I haven't heard of the Chuckle Brothers @andrews and thanks for saving the time with not looking them up.

I set the bells aside and am now gluing more pdf patterns together. I don't remember the glue tasting this bad back in kindergarten!

 

And fellows or women with skinny legs do look like helium balloons on sticks... fitted looks so much better.

I haven't worn shorts in public in years. I stopped that when I turned 60. I don't have purply veins or all that, I just feel I'm too old

There's lots of worse abominations out there masquerading as fashion

 

@Fat Controller so sorry to hear about your dog, my thoughts are with you.
Hope that he gets better soon.

 

Hi,

What a sad story Fat Controller about your little dog. It's truly heartbreaking to watch a pet be ill; good luck to the little un.

I'm pleased you liked The Two Ronnies Four Candles Lori; it's a true classic. If you like a laugh you might like this;



Kind regards, Colin.

 

Very nice @Retired ,I remember when Ken Dodd did Knotty ash on TV.


Sadly missed
