I’ve been on the phone to Capital One I noticed in my app a payment was made yesterday for an item I didn’t order 🤦‍♀️ there was another attempt to order something the other day to the lady said.
 She’s stopped the card and will be doing an investigation, she will refund the money back on to my account. 

It’s a worry how these people can get access to your details. 

So everyone be vigilant it’s a worry.

Was it used in the country you just got back from?

It's boiling here now @Beaver79,I wish I had time to sit in the garden.

Jimm_Scope

I'm okay @Beaver79! I can just see here people aren't having the best of mornings. Card fraud, headaches, lack of sleep issues. You can ask how I am doing don't worry

I hope you're doing okay! From your post this morning it sounds like the weather is nice where you are :P

I had almost three months' of that nonsense last year @Lou67,my bank was issuing new debit cards and cancelling them before I'd taken them out of the envelope.

Lou67

@Teigr
Oh that must’ve been a blooming nightmare. 

@Sandy_123
Yes my bank does the same, it would probably be a good thing if credit cards done the same.

@Jimm_Scope

Hi Jim I hope your doing well.
Yes I used it once abroad so I’m not sure if it was from there it’s been done but the fraud team are looking into it.
 I told her I had been away and there was another purchase tried while I was away but it didn’t go through.

Jimm_Scope

Yeah, a lot banks will just reject payments from abroad unless you've told them. I've been through a fraud problem once but the bank were great, I didn't lose any money and they made sure it was all good. Hope they do the same for you @Lou67

I’ve been feeling low today

I’ve been trying hard to improve things for myself and been really optimistic about stuff recently that I should be able to do in the future, nothing crazy just stuff everyone does

It was quite rightfully pointed out that maybe what I want to do won’t work out but now I don’t know what to do

I seem to be “black and white” like to me something is either a great plan or a rubbish one, I can’t grasp that there is a lot of middle ground  

I don’t think there are certain people who by default have no right to happiness or to feel content but maybe that is meant to be my place in society??

Sorry for whinging but I hope someone can help me feel a little better

It did my head in @Lou67,the fraud team were about as much use as a bag of wet mice.

What's the point in cancelling a debit card that hasn't been activated?

I do want to say. Someone said that it won't work out, but is that a 100% certain? If there is an issue can you work around it and still reach the goal?

Sandy_123

@66Mustang you won't know it won't work unless you try it first. Try not to focus on the negatives from other people. 

Lou67

@Teigr
My goodness I didn’t even tho n off that when I read your msg. That is crazy 🤦‍♀️

@66Mustang
Im so sorry you are feeling a bit down. 
@Beaver79 put everything I would’ve put as we see how far you have came, and also see what a great person you are.
You have a lot off compassion and empathy and always giving great advice. 

You have loads off knowledge on different topics which helps lots off people. 
I honestly think a lot off you and class you as a good friend in this forum. 

Please be kind to yourself. ❤️

Hi @tgTg welcome to the forum
We've had a lovely  day here weatherwise

Grinchy

evening all, had a good few days sleepwise, sleeping through, we went out for a drive today which was nice, now online browsing, take care all xx

Thanks @Lou67 @Jimm_Scope @Sandy_123 for the posts and @Beaver79 as well for posting on my other thread

Jimm, no one explicitly told me stuff won't work out, I think it's just people trying to be realistic if I'm honest

However I kind of got the impression that maybe some people are trying to tell me, as gently as possible I have to grant, that being lonely and upset is how I'm "meant" to be for the rest of my life - but I think surely everyone has the right to happiness and content?? Unless they have committed some kind of atrocity  

I wonder if maybe some people, who are worse off than me, have disabilities that are only going to get worse not better - and it's hard to comprehend getting "better" at all, and maybe they had to develop the mindset "accept what you have"?? Mine is kind of the opposite way round - I started off super bad and I guess I will (and am) get(ting) better in time - and I totally accept that just because of that I am really lucky in some ways!!

Just some random thoughts, my head is kinda in a muddle at the moment

@66Mustang
If you want to meet someone in the future I’m sure if you explore your options you’ll meet someone when your least expecting it.
Off course you deserve happiness and contentment In your life, and whoever you meet will be lucky to have you.

Im definitely not just saying this to be nice I’m saying it because I truly believe it.😊

Lou67

I hope everyone has a nice night. 

I’ve just had a nice relaxing bath, and just going to watch some telly.

@tgTg
Hello and welcome and Happy Birthday 🥳 to your beagle, enjoy the birthday cake tomorrow.

@Grinchy
Glad you’ve slept well the past few days and enjoyed a nice drive today.

❤️

66Mustang

Thanks @Lou67 that really means a lot I wish there was some way to do something positive for you in return

I have just been for a drive too and had a chat with my parents as well and I’m feeling a little better now

I’m going to go to bed soon but I hope everyone has a good sleep
