Hi to everybody...went shopping this morning in what looked like a beautiful day...it was absolutely perishing outside...the bus was half an hour late and I was frozen by the time I got on it...decided to have a sandwich in Poole and a coffee because running so late with the wait at the bloody bus stop and went to a cafe that we knew was good...it has changed hands...I had a revolting bap full of god only knows what called chinese chicken...I think the fucking chicken flew from China because it was all perfect damned cubes, and I've never seen a chicken that's cubed...could only eat half otherwise I would have thrown up...coffee was okay and for the honour of buying that crap it cost us £9.30!! I nearly had bloody chickens when I heard the price...anyway, rushed round and caught the bus and came home and discovered I'd forgotten one of the main things I went in for and that was my mascara, because there's absolutely no where around here you can buy any make up and with the damn bus being late I forgot to check my list and have arrived home without it and am out nearly...damn, damn, damn....
Decided this afternoon to put something on the National as I ignored something once which was associated with me and the darned horse romped home first...so thought okay I'll take a risk and not let this pass...one and a half hours later and dozens of damned attempts to get various bookies to accept our switch card and total failure...they do the Verisign thing and it just won't accept either me or my hubby and we are absolutely bloody furious...so we go by phone and the same damn thing happens...finally my hubby has to prove who he is via birth date and name...and would you believe it...verisign apparently goes via the electoral list and there's nobody on it with my hubby's name or mine for that matter, even though we've filled our form in regularly every time they send it to us...only a misspelling of my hubby's name was found and the bet was finally put on...this is three different web sites selling things that use verisign and I've not been able to make a single purchase on any of them...I am so bloody MAD...it's all very well protecting us from fraud, but when it actually completely blocks us from making a purchase at all...how the hell does that protect us???
Now, I need to calm down again...I've come to the conclusion that this country is a total bloody shambles and nearing rapidly a third world status...after that disgusting bap and its filling which resembled somebody's dinner after too much booze...I want to go somewhere else to live and quickly...
Sorry for this rant, but this was supposed to be a restful day and it has been anything but...in fact it has been a frigging fraught one and now I have to calm down before I hurt my damned stomach again...big hugs to one and all and hope you're having a better day than we are....
