OT YAY!!!
After hydrotherapy today - which went better than last week, I decided my
car, Mr F, was not parked quite as I like him to be, on my drive. Like June left him. It's difficult to get into my drive as there is not a drop kerb in front so I have to go up my neighbour's one and do a skilful reverse turn. He was what my grandfather called "skew-whiff" - not straight. So, fresh from my hydro and my physio not talking about her holidays, I got into him, and drove him 50 yards down the road, turned him round and reversed him back into my drive. It did hurt me a lot and I could not have gone further, tbh, but it gives me real hope now. The bad news is that the bank machine ate my card. I have heard of it happening before, but it never happened to me. Their machine said the transanction is completed and no money came out. I was reluctant to remove my card as no money came out and I thought if I put it in again it would think I took twice the amount. No money came out and the machine swallowed my card for ever. I went into the shop to explain and ask them to get it out. Apparently they can't so I have no access to my money. I am just so lucky irony No sooner does something go right than something goes wrong. My sister in law lent me a tenner.. How embarrassing is that? Tweed |

Those machines will eat your card unless you remove it very quickly. I don't know if the process is similar in the UK as the policy in the US, but my sister found that she could not get a replacement card from the location where it was "eaten" because that is a branch bank. Instead, she had to go to the central bank ("headquarters") and fill out an explanation and request for a new card. She received a replacement in about two weeks. MaryL |

That must be a bank policy, rather than a national one. Whenever I've needed to replace my card (and I did quite recently, when my computer got a malicious virus), I've been able to walk into any branch to do it.

I would guess it means "belt and suspenders" indicating someone who is very
cautious and doesn't rely on just one means of support/help/aid/etc. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.com/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net "Lucys Mom" wrote in message ...
