So ordering 2 laptops from Dell has resulted in the usual anti-fraud checks kicking in.
1 card was rejected out of hand but they rang me first thing this morning.
First direct rejected the second order but didn't ring me until now and provided a reason for rejecting the second order that doesn't hold up as they should have rejected the first order for that reason. The man on the phone doesn't like the fact I'm now insisting on a written explanation including his abortive first attempt....
I would cancel the card now but I do need to wait for the laptop to be billed and received first...Last edited by eek; 17 November 2017, 12:38.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Couple of sausages in soft white finger rolls for lunch
And the laundry will have finished by now, so I suppose I'd better go and dangle it all from the clothes horse.Comment

Exercise done - interesting a lady who came to the class before and then walked out after 10 minutes lasted the entire class because she finally twigged to use reasonable weights rather than very heavy ones.
Shopping done - I hate people
Looked at black Friday deals which are all a load of sh*t."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
