Moving
Well, The move has fallen through!
My buyer has lost his buyer, who has lost his buyer, because he cant get a mortgage.
So someone down the chain has messed it up for all of us.
The system stinks - surely there's a better way?

118118
Just checking my phone bill. Guess which is the most expensive call? There's no overseas calls, but there are some to 0870 and 0845 numbers.
summary:
25 minute off peak call 49p
16 minute peak time local call £1.10
14 minute 0845 call 39p
Most expensive call is £1.87 for 1 minute and 27 seconds to 118118
That works out at £1.47 per minute!
more expensive than voting for the latest dis functional moron on big brother, or boosting Simon Cowells coffers on Britain's got no talent. Even chat lines are cheaper than that.
The cost is supposed to be 58p per minute, so I guess there must be a connection charge hidden somewhere.
The BT version is 19p per minute. Give it a try: 118800
or use the bloody yellow pages!!!

Moving
I sold my house a week ago, and I'm eagerly awaiting the problems to build up until the final move.
Problem 1 - A buyer is having problems at the start of my chain. The problems are not insurmountable, as his seller intends to move anyway. However, the idiot estate agent from the property that I am buying has taken it upon himself to question whether my sale will go through.
Why is buying and selling such a chore in this country?
Surely there's a better way?
Why do the lowest forms of life appear to be running this system?
Stay tuned for the next thrilling installment!

Egg on face
my credit card has just increased it's interest rate from 21% to 26%. What a disgrace when the base rate is 0.5%. I have the option to not accept the rate and cut up the card, so I have done this.
GREED, GREED, GREED - I shall pay this card off as soon as I can, and never will I get a chicken card again - Bye Bye Crooks!

Common sense prevails
Some good news. eBay are getting rid of the ridiculous rule that you cannot charge postage and packing for books. This meant that you had to factor in the postage cost in starting price, which then meant that eBay could charge a larger fee. Now the eBay members have complained and the policy is being withdrawn. People power or just plain common sense?
