    Unhappy Thursday fail

    Just copped for bank charges by going overdrawn, through a completely avoidable & stupid oversight.

    If I'd waited a fortnight, new rates come in and I'd have avoided £12 worth of fees..

    Anyone else had a self-inflicted fail this week..?

    Re: Thursday fail

    I got headbutted full force in my mouth by my daughter on dinner when she wanted a cuddle.

    Now my front tooth feels like its actual 2 teeth, is numb and then hurts and goes numb again.

    I bet it falls out and I'll end up looking like bubbah from the deep south

    Re: Thursday fail

    I went to my lecture, finished the work on different number systems, but didn't know i had to fill in my attendance online by entering a password and then answering a true or false question about being in the lecture.

    It's a good job someone text me to ask me if i'd done it, so i had to swiftly get home and fill it in with a couple of minutes remaining :-/

    It would be alright but the lecturer was showing us his lightsaber and at no point did he tell us about the online registration, he just said we could go seeing as though we'd finished the bin/hex/oct/roman counting to 31...

    On the bright side, if it does you'll have it to hold over her whenever you need to give her a guilt trip. Like whenever she pesters you got money.

    Re: Thursday fail

    Nothing major this week for me (did upload a new report to our live server conveniently forgetting to upload the modified versions of a couple of code files, but that only caused those particular reports to crash, and was easily fixed) but my step-son's pulled a blinder by telling us that he didn't have to be at a Saturday event for his school when he actually does, meaning we've wasted money on a train ticket for him on Friday night, he (or possibly his dad) is going to have to fork out for another train ticket on Saturday, and he's going to lose almost half of his weekend with us

    404 on the link Sammy... it's my right hand. You can add the right wrist (distal Radius & Ulna) and right thumb too (same bit as the finger, almost identical fracture)

    Bank did that to me once. I rang them and reminded them I was a good customer, normally managed my account responsibly and I was sorry I made a small error during a very busy week. I asked for the fees to be refunded as their 'gain' would be offset in the admin charge incurred when I moved banks. They refunded the fees pronto!

    Give it a go, a quick call may earn you 12 quid.
