Good morning all from a somewhat damp Glasgow. I'm not complaining, it's a vast improvement on yesterday's torrential rain.
Happy birthday Beechnut, I hope you have an enjoyable day.
I would like to thank everyone for their good wishes and kind PMs yesterday. It's now time to put the PM business to bed, methinks. Life is too short to dwell on the negatives in life.
I spent half of yesterday on an online chat with my credit card company, still trying to dispute the charges for the wedding.
When the wedding was cancelled, we started claims to retrieve the money we had paid, as the venue refused to refund, not being able to offer a new date.
I uploaded all the necessary paperwork and waited and waited and waited.
Yesterday DH received a letter with a completely different reference number, stating they were closing the dispute, as we hadn't furnished the necessary documents.??
It turns out someone had inadvertently marked the case as closed.
None of my security questions worked and I asked them to reset them. Four times I had to do it. Thank goodness I was used to this sort of thing in school, as the IT coordinator. At one point I had four windows open on my PC.
Are you still there? , the agent kept typing.
Of course I'm ** still here. It's taking so long for you to resolve this, I keep getting timed out and have to log in again,.
The end result was that despite all the discussion, I had to start the disputed charge process all over again.
After doing this I was another hour later, chatting online, trying to confirm with yet another agent that all the necessary documentation had been uploaded. You guessed, none of the security questions matched!?
It set me wondering. I had to scan receipts and invoices to do this. What if I wasn't IT literate? There was no other way to do this, apart scanning and uploading or faxing.
Own up you lovely grans how many have a fax machine just sitting at home waiting for a situation like this??? ? It's actually quite discriminatory, if people don't have access to technology.
I spent the rest of the day, unsuccessfully trying to print the wedding photos to put in frames. I'm a perfectionist and the tiny bit of border showing was really annoying me.
Today's task is to investigate my printer settings,. If all else fails, I shall try sending them to DHs printer. I'm still a geek at heart!?
If that doesn't work, I shall trim the white margins and rummage in my neglected crafting stash and mount them on card.
Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done
I'm awaiting a delivery of my dreaded injections today. It's all so different from the usual medication fiasco, as it's organised by the hospital. Every so often, I get a phone call, asking what I need.
Scentia, enjoy your time with your grandchildren.
I too am wondering about Bellasnanna and our other missing grans.?
Take care everyone and have the best day you can.
