a very bad day

it all started with another letter from my credit union about an external transfer i made in december which didn't go through.  one email, three letters, three phone calls, two branch visits and they've refused to give me back my money.  they sent me a stat. dec. which i filled in and sent off today.  i also rang the banking ombudsman who advised me to start a formal complaint.  i mean really.  well, i went down to the civic centre to get a jp to witness my stat. dec. but they are building a new library down there and have moved the customer services dept. up here to the library.  so i came back to the library.  then i posted off the stat. dec. at the shopping centre where i lost my glasses.  i backtracked and at the last place there they were.  so thank goodness that ended well.  then i took a long lost lotto ticket into the branch to check it.  no, too late for that.  i was told to ring the head office which i tried to do but couldn't get through.  i'd probably checked it and not thrown it away.  there is a procedure to go through which has a fee attached if it's a winning ticket.  let's hope not.  i tried to log into their website but couldn't.  i also had a hard time trying to delete one of my devices and put norton anti virus on the ipad.  that took forever. oh well.  i just had a nice dinner and bought myself a mango as a treat.  the season is nearly over and i vowed next year to buy one more often.  my favourite fruit. 

ants and a present to me

i just noticed when i came into the dining room a little line of ants high up on the wall/ceiling going all around the dining room making their way to the kitchen.  no shortcut for my ants which is what i call my grandson anthony btw.  i admire their work ethic.  i noticed a few ants recently in the kitchen and was annoyed as i haven't had them inside for years.  i just sprayed but the spray from aldi smells horrible.  it's supposed to be non-allergenic. they are coming in the front glass door.  how rude!  there's not many but enough to be a nuisance.  on a nicer note i bought myself an ipad for my birthday next month.  it's an older model and i must say i like it.  i've always poo-pooed apple because of the ridiculous cost and they seem to break more often than not.  i hope it's ok.  i'm an android/windows woman and always have been.  i volunteered on a magazine years ago and used an apple computer.  that would be an antique by now.   well, i had a fab day yesterday and saturday playing with it.  i've got it sorted i think.  of course i ordered a nice wallet for it and a screen protector.  and i've justified the expense because it's a significant birthday and i deserve it.  lol
