Woes Woes Woes

I’ve had a bad few days. Pretty much everything has gone wrong.

Thursday night I realised I had a few missed calls on my phone and a voicemail, it was my credit card company. Checked on-line and there was a pending amount of about £2k. I haven’t had a job since May and so was 100% sure I hadn’t bought anything. So, phoned them, they asked if I’d purchased some AEIS GiftCheques… err… no, what are they? (I have looked them up since and so know what they are). Also, had I spent £2k at dabs… No. Shit, not again. I had my card in front of me and only ever use it on-line so this must have been from the silly little bits of software I’d bought for my phone. Last time this happened it was from buying software for my Mac. Anyway, got my card cancelled, those charges denied and the police called.

Then the whole GH:III farce. Play said they dispatched mine about a day before my friends ones. Yet all theirs turned up Friday. Mine didn’t. It was sent via ParcelFarce so there’s not even any decent tracking (it generally only updates when you’ve signed for it). So I phoned ParcelFarce… and spent ages on the phone repeating the tracking reference over and over before giving up and having to speak to a real person. Looks like it vanished into the ether. So, much angry crying later, I was given the option to borrow a friends one. You see, I couldn’t even tell Play not to send me another and to refund my card because – YES! My credit card was cancelled so nothing could be refunded to it. Grrrr…

Anyhoo, I don’t know happened but now I have another copy winging its way to me. Yay!
