A few people have added me in the last few days, which is a pleasant surprise! Some of you seem to be on ledivinemarquis's flist, and perhaps followed her rec of my fic. But however you got here, welcome!

And a big hug to all my established friends, too!

Had kind of a scare today. Tried to take money out of an ATM, and it said my PIN was wrong. Knew this was bullshit, so tried in two other ATMs. ATM ate my creit card. Had minor heart attack. Thought maybe my other ATM card would be the same, and that I would be stuck in a foreign country with only 25 pounds in my wallet. Walked back to room, to get said card, making mental plans for the worst. Got card. Went to ATM. It worked. Breathed twelve sighs of relief. Whew. Nothing like ABSOLUTE PANIC to make you forget you haven't had any food, until 3pm.

Fuck you, bank.

How scary! I'd have been completely freaking out... I'm glad you got it sorted!

Thanks! And heeyyyy *poke* I haven't seen you on msn for ages. I miss our chats! *pout*

I've logged on a few times but when I do no one is online :-/

I have been on Yahoo more... I added you on there.

[featherxquill.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I added you back. I'm on there now, actually. I'm also on MSN, but I usually appear offline on there until I see someone I want to talk to come online. Did you get my email a few days back?

Oh good lord! I would've cried.

Oh man, that was quite a scare!! As I was coming home from Europe, I had a layover in Heathrow where I was suppose to catch a plane to the States. Well, because of a mix-up, I missed my plane (along with a nother person who also booked his tickets through Expedia). Well, I wasn't going to spend the day and night at the airport, so I went to the service desk wanting to book a motel room. The desk clerk was getting everything set up and when she swiped my card, it declined. I told her to do it again. It declined (I found out upon returning home that I'd unexpectedly went WAY over my limit because I didn't take into consideration the money conversion). I was panicking. Here I was, 3000 miles from home, I didn't know when I'd be able to catch the next plane to the States and I only had $240 in cash.

Luckily, the room ended up being $160 after the pound-dollar conversion so I could pay for it using the money I'd carried in my wallet (which was supposed to have been rent money upon returning home). I got to leave for home the next day.

I'm glad everything's all right for you! I'm sure that was quite a scare!

Jesus, that would have scared the hell out of me too! Lucky it worked in the end! :D

ooh! that's scary, I'm glad you got it sorted out.

Bleah. I hate it when that happens. God only knows how you can really try to get it back. Wander round to the bank that owns the machine and wave your passport at them, I suppose.

Bank lady said the machines weren't theirs, and the cards would be destroyed. Guess I've gotta get a new from my bank, and get Mum to mail it over. *sigh*
