Off to Liverpool on Friday, will try and get along to Manchester afterwards.

The last week has been fairly hectic, spent most of it with Clarabel and Luce100 (Mono names, Real names: Clare and Luce), I think I became a lodger at their places - went on Thursday, planning on being one night... Tuesday afternoon I left :)

Not much excitement, that I can be arsed to write about, lots in my mono diary, which I will update on the web soon.

I'm also suffering from the cold I had a little while ago, but I'm beating it fairly quickly, with lots of water and lots of sleep :)

I've read some people's journals up to the the current - but I've given up trying to catch up with everyone's :) You all write too much! *smiles* I'm starting 50 entries back from now - and that's it!!!

How come I could connect only 2hrs ago, hmmmm?

One is for "Affinity Wireless", no idea who they could be. Actually a web search reveals that possibly this could be ACC Telecom (WorldxChange, NetNet, whatever they're called these days), but I don't know... I really don't!

It's not my Orange phone Direct Debit (Orange Personal Telcomms PLC), it's not my net connection (VIP), it's not my digital TV (OnDigital). I don't know what it is... but it's £35 IIRC, and I can't afford to throw away that amount of cash right now!

Also, a £63 payment to myself, which I believe might be a loan repayment, which should not have gone _anywhere_ yet. I need to check my paperwork I think, and make sure I did choose a 2yr payment holiday on that loan! So that's nearly £100 that shouldn't have gone anywhere, that appears to have disappeared, weird...

Looks like I hadn't received the bad news from Teleca when I organised this first loan. I asked for a 6 month repayment holiday, payments restarting on the 2nd February, ARGH! How was I supposed to remember this? I had no chance of remembering it. Wish they'd sent me a letter or something...

Hope I can stop the payments. Hell - hope I can get that 1^st one refunded!!! :)

Update: Mystery payment #1 has been refunded, marked as "UNPAID", and no charges made to my account about it, so I can assume that it wasn't anything to do with me. But YIKES that scared the daylights out of me....
