Today is going to be one of those days

I have this sense of panic about what I have done today but I bet it will be one of those days when everything is done this evening I will feel very relaxed and happy.

Yesterday much to my amazement and joy I had a phone call from NZ! Okay it was only the bank calling to make sure I'd got all the details but it was NZ calling. Of course I know feel the need the transfer my money over to it today (it will make things easier when I land) so that means another trip into town today.

hmm maybe I'll get some badges today then. I've got a plain canvas bag I'm taking for evenings so I'm dressing it up so far I found I have:

Miaka and Tamahome
The Hobbits
Scissor Sister badge
Harry Potter 7th book badge

Yeah the day has so far been bad....

Some weirdo has hold of my mobile number. Don't know how they got it and were being seriously creepy down the phone. The number was with held which makes me nervous. The sensible thing would be to ignore with held numbers but I can't. The damn visa people have a with held number and they will still be phoning me. This really was the last thing I needed today.

and just got my number changed so private message me if you need/want it

To top it off, in a long series of bank mistakes, the Co-operative has put the icing on the cake. My card was faded and due to go out of date before I come back so I requested a new one in July after I was home and had done my home address change. No problem right? The card doesn't appear. I drop in yesterday to find out what the delay is. They can't work it out. So cue me checking if my card would still work since they wanted to do a reissue. Fine they assure me. Today? My card isn't working. Don't know if the new one will be here before I go.

I ran around to the Ulster Bank and they were helpful. So I am using their account again. But Dad is mad because he set up a standing order to the Co-operative which is fine because I can do transfers and things but he doesn't understand that.

Did get new badges though ^^ :

Carboot Sale Preparations

The whole of downstairs is getting covered with my stuff. I figure I'm not going to see it for a year so it really is a what will I want when I get back scenario.

There seems to be a truckload of dvds and books, shoes and knick knacks, Eeyores (I have a collection) and a Super Girl outfit. Last time I did one of these, people really went for the dvd so hopefully this will all be very profitable plus a whole pile of fun.

I'm also boxing up the last of my games consoles and taking them with me. I'm going to advertise them there with a lovely homemade sign for people to ring me about them but I never know some people might buy then and there.
