Discovered that my debit card details had been used to buy a rug or something from this company. £183 out of my account and nothing to do with me. Either a fraudulent transaction or some sort of cock up. Anyway that was 8 days ago. The bank will refund me but my card was stopped and they said theyd send me a new one. Hadnt received it by today so phoned the bank only to find out that my account had been referred to collections for a reason that even they couldnt explain.
Anyway it turns out that I have to go into my branch and ask them to order me another one. God only knows why they couldnt do it over the phone. So Ill be another week without a card which has messed up a couple of direct debits and all my ebay transactions.
So ive been in a really bad mood today, resulting in me smoking far too many cigarettes and munching my way through a whole packet of hobnobs for comfort.
Im going through a period where previously straightforward aspects of life seem to be incredibly difficult and complicated. Nothing seems to go right. Admittedly the big issues seem to be behind me, its just an ongoing set of annoyances. I have such a level of free-floating anxiety now that I fully expect everything to go wrong and Im just waiting for the next issue to arise. Oh for a simple life!
