      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...

        I thought MS had short hair?

          She has an MX-5. Everything else beyond that is just hearsay....

            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.

              I am no longer a customer of Nationwide due to their feck up when I tried to order a laptop.

                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.

                  I had a look earlier; gave up after ten minutes or so
