I look upon this blog as therapy at times. Sharing your thoughts and ups and downs is very therapeutic.
I have had one of those days today. The minute I opened my eyes I thought ...shit!!
Blocked nose, sore throat, aching body. up I get cause mummies have no sick days and Lily was on top form.
Then I check my credit card statement to find I have spent a large fortune and the bank are charging me willy nilly for things I don't understand. At this point the sensible thing to do is to forget about it until I feel better. But no... not me!!
So I get on the phone to customer services in India. they have these standard phrases that they have to read out. I cannot even begin to tell you my frustration.
I say how can my interest on £19 be £8.90 ( if any of you have an answer please tell me)
she says we work out you interest o a daily blah blah and from your balance blah blah so its 22%
I say but £ 8.90 is not 22 % of £19 so she repeats it again so I start crying. yes people crying to the Indian bank lady. I then gather myself and tell her she has been no help at all to me.
Kristian and I have a small disagreement about said balance and he goes off to work.
The final nail in the coffin and by far the worst news was that our beautiful doggie, honey, was put down today after a long and lovely life.
she was the happiest , most lovely dog. always smiling and tail wagging.
we are all so sad and will miss her so much
If you got to this point of my post, congratulations and sorry for depressing you. Things can only get better and already my nose feels clearer

Aah Wendy shame what a day, these call centres they drive me nuts here too so you are not alone, so sorry to hear about Honey she was a lovely dog with a lovely nature.
Love Nicci x
Look at it this way - things can only look up now that you've had such a bad day! I am so sad about Honey - I loved that girl! Your mum and I are now going for breakfast so I am sure we will be shedding a tear or twenty! Love you lots and lots babes xxxx
what a great way to think - things can only get better. It's the only good thing about having a bad day, it can't last forever. So sorry to hear about Honey, she was a sweet dog.
Big hugs, hope you're feeling a bit better XXX
It is so annoying isn't it - I had a problem with my bank and called them on Monday, only to reach India and be given the wrong information over the phone too. It is just such a stupid setup really. Can't understand how they can charge you so much interest on £19, it is insane.
Sorry about your doggy too :(

This must have been the wierdest week ever. I am so sorry about your card, hope you get it sorted out. Perhaps you should go into the bank, it seems to work better than over the phone for some reason. I have been overwhelmed with grief over Honey this week and am really struggling. Connie too, everytime we do something that involved her and I have only just realised how much that is I dissolve into tears. I hope this passes quickly. Take care of yourselves and I hope this finds you feeling better today. Love you and miss you lots and lots and lots - Mum xxxx
HI Wendy
Hope you are feeling a alot better now. Credit cards never make you feel good unless you are spending blindly.
Sorry to hear about Honey. I think she had a good innings - did she not? Still hurts though I know.
Hope all is well generally though nad think only 25 days to Christmas.
Love Nicola, Dylan and bump
