Default A bad day

Woke up to find that my 19month old son has chicken pox so I have to babysit him today. Then the wife gets a call to say she's coming home from work because her credit card has been cloned and we have just lost

i hate to say it but it could be worse

dont worry about hte credit card bill - your not liable for it , the cat scratches im sure will polish out - hell i will help ya if you like im no expert like tango but do quite a good job for my friends ( for beer tokens ) also its a plus that the little one has it now so they dont get it again and wont ever remember it !!

any reason the warning light may be on ? was it driving ok ?

And you might give everyone at Alan Day chicken pox..

Bad news about the card but you should be OK. how long has that bill been run up over. 8K in a couple of days should have been spotted by their own anti fraud outfit.

Insurance/fraud protection should save you on the 8K
Chicken pox ain't deadly but hope son gets better soon!
and as for the cat... ever seen Trainspotting dog/air rifle scene?

Hope all improves mate maybe tonight you'll win the lotto :-)

the credit card?....you'll get the money back....ok, it's a bit of hastle.

the chicken pox at an early age is probably a blessing in disguise. the earlier people get it the less severe the conequences i believe. my office-mates daughter caught it recently & was better in 5 days....wont get it later in life when the consequences can be dire.

cats are another matter tho'....if you use Dodo Juice Purple Haze wax polish it smells of lavender....cats dont like this niff so hopefully that'll take care of that!
