Getting Fleeced and Organised!

Still the weather continues to be good.

We had to go to our Shopping Centre this morning as Alan needed to go to his Telephone provider.   He has had a message saying he has used his 200 inclusive phone minutes and will now be charged for any further calls until the 18th!   He makes very few calls and then only for a minute or two.   Anyway the guy at the shop could not help as they cannot access billing information, so at home he rang the helpline, after having checked his usage on line.   It appears he had made a call lasting some 5hrs and some minutes.   He rang the recipient of the call to check he had made it and his phone showed the same time!   An extra 34€ on his bill for this month!   He does not know how it has happened!   I think it is something to do with the Bluetooth in the car but can't think why it would not disconnect.   Anyway after much muttering he will have to pay!

On a lighter note I decided to write some Chirstmas Cards that need to go to England, so I started them this evening as Alan headed off to Choir practice.   As I was starting, with the TV on in the background, the Bing Crosby song 'It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas' came on in an Ad! It is marching steadfastly upon us!
