    Unwanted Break

    Due to unforseen circumstances, it looks like WoW will be out of my reach till next Monday (pay day for me).

    Was playing all happy tonight, logged off Ragnaros and tried to connect to Arathor and I was kicked. Entered my username and password and got the a message about buying more play time. Off to the account management page I go...

    I forgot that my payment comes out in the middle of the month and also didn't realise I had no money in my main account (oops) as I live off my credit card and pay it off each month to try and help my credit rating... Unfortunately, WoW didn't accept my credit card details though, it keeps saying the security code is not correct (which I know it is, I have the card in my bloody hand!) and I can't transfer money from my savings account back into my main account quick enough to authorise a transaction!

    Bummer.

    No way Dammit!

    Mind you knowing the Blizzard payment system it will all be up and running this evening! Have you tried giving them a call mate and see whether they can sort it out?

    Looks like I can't do that either. Phoned up my CC company and I am somehow already at my limit... so I will have to wait. The worst part is, I forgot that my new company pays me on the last working day of the month (29th this month) not the 25th of each month. I don't know what to do.

    I was so bored last night, couldn't be bothered to play anything else, so had an early night.

    I seriously don't know how I'm going to last...

    I tell you, I was sitting there staring at a blank screen, rocking forwards and backwards, with a slight bit of dribble running down my chin...

    That was just within 24 hours, I have another 192 to go...

    Escape into a book my friend.

    I found 50 Years Of Playboy a Particularly stimulating read which youll find you can enjoy over and over again!

    Not really, I've never even seen this book, but still may be a good read Allen you never know

    (In no way am I trying to instigate self-abuse in this post)

    You could learn to bake cakes (if you dont know how already) and then send us examples so that we can score you on a basis of 1 - 10

    Oops sorry fantasising again
    I'm sorry if i can't answer you right now but I'm too busy stuffing my gob (with cake)
