Good morning all :-)

I think I will have the cheese and tomato pie today, just for a change, but with lots of lovely bacon on the side !! :-D

Delicious Sylvia - Thank you <3 <3 <3

Hope we are all well today ?

I see you got yet another '00' number Sylvs - you are getting lots of them recently ;-)

Dea x

Cheese and tom pie, is that like the old 'school' cheese pie? Loved that, have tried to make it but it never tastes the same :-(

Mornin all~~~~

Good morning.


Have been busy with housework and then got sidetracked with Eldrick.


Thank you Sylvs..........just porridge please as I am going out to lunch with a friend.



See you later.....~~

I think the trick with the 'school' pie Ginns is that you have to make it and then, instead of serving it fresh and crisp, you have to keep it sitting there on the warmer for hours which makes all the liquid from the cheese 'sog' into the pastry ;-)

:-D :-D :-D

Ooher.......just had my debit card refused 4 times at the Coop. Three times at two self service points and then again at a till :-S

Another woman also had her card turned down when she was on the next till. Rushed home thinking I had been 'cleared out' by some fraudster

......nope, checked ballance and its as it should be :-S :-0 :-S

That's funny Gins......that happened to me a couple of weeks ago and I too, rushed home in fear and trembling. I think it has something to do with the bank 'doing' something on it's system. Very annoying though.... :-|



Had a lovely lunch, came home and then went to get my hair done and yes, I did my Christmas cards whilst I was there - well, I signed them - need to address them now but at least its a start :-D :-D



The threatened rain has arrived - cor, it's miserable out there..........shiver....

hi all
xxx


it's the peace before the storm here ....................... next one is due in this evening :-(





s
xx

we're out this evening ......... hope we get home before the worst of the storm arrives.


It's Fall Graduation week, and we're going to the reception for the people getting honorary degrees.


should be OK for getting breakfast ................. but if I don't, you know where the supplies are :-D

Nasty 75 mph winds have (almost) gone away but the torrential rain has arrived !!!

WET WET WET here !!! :-(

Dea Xxx

Cyns...I had to use a credit card to pay :-0


Grrrrrrr :-|

You could always contact your bank and ask what happened I spose :-S


Off to bed soon.......hope you have a good evening Sylvs.........


I think it's stopped raining :-D :-D


See you tomorrow.......night all.......~~~~

My bank in.....


...whom cant understand, or dont have the autonomy?


You will remember my account, of my business account with NW :-(

time to change banks, methinks


I know people over here will not put up with that kind of thing!


Including me!


Remember ................

Banks are there to serve YOU, not you to serve them.




I'm fomenting revolution :-D :-D :-D :-D

Gins

Had that happen to me in Boots.

Transaction went through at the till....Given my receipt and was leaving the shop when the assistant chased me.

Was told the transaction had been declined and I had to pay again!

Now I am an ex Bank Manager so I know how these things work....It cannot be accepted, transaction completed and then declined!

I was treated like a criminal but chose not to make a fuss. Paid by credit card and checked with my bank as soon as I got home.

As I expected.....No reason for the transaction being declined, especially after being accepted.

My Bank had no idea why it had happened but could confirm the transaction hadn't even taken place as far as they were concerned.

Chris

Chris, glad it's not just me then!

It's a bit embarrassing stood in the middle of the shop, everyone listening to the fact your card has been declined :-(

I will check the statement to make sure the transactions 'didnt' go through. Ringing the HSBC is a nightmare.........Indian call centre, language barriers and they have no autonomy to do anything :-|

Sylvs......time to change banks, yes maybe youre right but the problem is, there is not much between any of them

Maybe I'll go to 'The Bank of Dave', but there is a waiting list for that one

Good morning all!!!

Is there anybody there??

Shall I do 'bacon butties' all round and some poached eggs for Ginns?? :-S

O.K. - I will do them anyway - I can always eat them myself :-D

Porridge bubbling for Cynths too...............

Dea Xxx

Im here at the moment Dea but orf to a coaching session soon.......can I have something to eat in the car please <3
