with thanx to Chris for this lovely graphic...
This morning was a complete nightmare which was my fault entirely. To begin with, yesterday "?" asked me to lend him some money so i did and i could collect his money today.
So, this morning i went along to the hole in the wall and put the card in the machine and guess what! i put the wrong PIN in 3 times and the machine swollowed up the card. "?" lent me the money back out of what i had given him the day before so i could get my weekly shop. I have put up with a right old ear bashing today i tell you.
When we got home from the shop at 8:30am. "?" rang the bank at 9am when they opened and he was put through to head office and they are sending him out a new card and PIN. This afternoon i went into the bank to dip into my savings so i could get over to next week and give "?" his extra money that he should have had coming to him today. It has been a right old mix up day today. When "?" gets his new card arrives in about a week, he will give me my money back...I do hope i don't do that again, i'm never going to live this down!
We went to pick "ST" up at 10:30am, on the way over there the traffic was quite heavy over Becontree station hill the workmen have got the road blocked on one side. With both roads blocked on Becontree and Heathway stations it is a right pain to get too and from each side of the railway.
We took "ST" home at 5pm. "L" was'nt in so, i phoned her. She said she was on her way back from Asdas, so we waited outside the flat. While we were waiting 2 police officers were walking towards us and asked why are we waiting there, so i told the officers we were waiting for "ST" mum to come back. I don't know what they were thinking i'm sure!
"ST" took all his money home with him that he had saved over the weeks and the money we gave him for his birthday as he wants to go and buy a couple of things that he wants, it will be his birthday tomorrow he will be 14 this year. Then later in the evening he is going round to his other granparents as they have got presents coming for him there too, then Thursday, "L" is taking him to Lakeside to buy what he wants.
After my eventful day i feel quite tired out. "?" has felt stressed out over his card and money all day...trust me to cause an uproar! Well, thats all my eventful news for one day. Best wishes to one and all.

What bad luck!! I'm sorry the machine ate your card. Look at the bright side. The bank was looking after you not knowing if you were a thief or not. Enjoy the rest of your week.
