luckykaaWow, it's been a while since my last update... These are the entries I didn't post.
The one about Christmas. Not a terrible haul. I received (in addition to the lovely gifts froma lovely flickums) a set of FATE cards, (for the fate RPG), Kill Dr. Lucky - the card game, some socks, some beer - lots of beer - and some soapy type stuff.
Have transferred almost all of my junk from storage to flat. That was a tiring weekend. I hired a van, and drove all the way to Brighton before finding that I actually needed a bigger van. So I drove home and drove all the way to Brighton and back again. At least I had a helpful brother to assist. And it should save me a few quid. It really wasn't worth paying the storage fee, except that a lot of this stuff had sentimental value. I still have a lot of things that I ought to dispose of somehow but a lot of it is printed media. I find it really hard to get rid of that. Throwing it out feels like destroying knowledge. Anyone want a huge collection of SFX magazines and Beano comic libraries from the 1980's?
One of the items was a bike. I've now got that in a roadworthy condition. It takes about as long to cycle to work as to drive and I don't need to defrost my bike in the morning.
In other news, someone other than me tried to use my debit card to buy a PS4. I received a suspicious looking text from the bank so rang them up. Turned out that it genuinely was from my bank, and there were a bunch of other purchases, that I didn't make. Bank was nice about it though, cancelled the card, and blocked the orders. Also got a phone call from Tesco Direct (which is how I know it was a PS4 that was ordered) saying that it was flagged as suspicious. Shame really I'd just managed to memorize my Debit card number.
So that's the last few weeks caught up.

Amateurs.
