10 miles  

10 miles short of home my car stopped.

*sigh*

I had to phone my sister to come rescue me, she's decidedly pissed off and not talking to me. What a shame. (Can I just say how fantastic it is that she had to come help me out for a change rather than the other way around? (yeah... I have serious issues here!))

Got to the bank and actually spoke to a bank teller to get money out - and she remembered my name from last time I was in depositing all the coppers and 5p pieces what... two weeks ago. I actually think I miss customer service like this - it was good to speak to her and have her remember me and genuinely seem to hope I was doing well. (As did the wee woman in the first petrol station I got too.)

So anyway - busy catching up with season two of Life on Mars (John Simm rocks my socks)  and hoping to get graphics done for some of the things I owe folks (plus posting new challenge at [livejournal.com profile] spn_provenance - go vote for round three if you haven't yet!). And I changed my default email account for LJ because up until now I've been spam free on that account and now all of a sudden I'm getting spam through LJ. Joy. It's not one I can check during the day so if you know my gmail account please use it. (If you don't and tend to use my moments-lost one or mara_sho @ livejournal  one then I won't get it straight away but will answer as soon as I possibly can).

Wow, that almost took on a work related tone. Huh. I hope this information has been of use, but if there's anything further we can do to be of assistance please don't hesitate to get in touch...

I don't want to spoil Life on Mars for you, but just so you know...

He's the Master. :)

Hee! [livejournal.com profile] aditu_az knows why I'm bouncing right now... But yay! John Simm rocks.

*nods*

Someone, somewhere, must have written that fanfic, right?
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on July 2nd, 2007 06:03 pm (UTC)
Without a doubt they must have.

(And if not... I could be tempted...)

Let me get this straight: Your sister owes you a king's ransom yet balks at giving you a ride? HUH???

No doubt I'll find out the reasons why before too much longer, but she was definitely pissed off about something.

I'd like to tell her to go s*** in her hat!

Ah the joys of calling for help and playing reserve roulette. Last time with me was when my cam belt went about 9 months ago.

Nice to hear about the bank service ,I' a Woolwich customer and our accounts all just moved to Barclays resulting in my local branch closing so hope I get as good a service.

*fingers crossed* that Barclays are good to you.

RBS have been great with me since I switched to them (used to be with Halifax).

WTF! all that you've done for her and she's pissed off?

Well at least you got back and got out some money. Will mail you about BOTB, polls, wildcards and reviews tomorrow

*smiles sweetly at worn out Sho*

Yup. I think it might be because she missed whatever it was she said she might be going to go to, but it was a 'might' and if she'd gone I'd have found another way. (She's also pissed off that I wouldn't ask anyone at work for a loan).

Excellent - I'm working on the reviews right now, and the polls shouldn't be a problem at all. The wildcards are intriguing me...

I'm chuffed you got your sister to come and help you out (although it may have made her grumpy) and nice about the bank lady :).

Felt kinda good to actually act like the younger sibling and needing to be helped out yesterday. Hasn't happened for a very long time!
