The addictable wagoners are welcoming some lovely newbies and enjoying seeing some oldies return! Thread for those waiting to ttc, those ttc now and graduates alike!

LOL Ses, poor you, can you not go for coffee sparkling water or something while you wait?

When? Erm... DH is on call this weekend, if it's quiet and we can get the room emptied out (still have DS2's old baby stuff in there) then we'll paint this weekend, if he is out too much then will probably be weekend after I want to get it done and finished in plenty of time for the furniture to come.

glad you got a good and quick response.
when are you painting then nat?
i luv painting i painted all of our bedroom and all of dds

Her reply:

Hi Natalie

Sorry, your printed receipt should have had the relevant details masked. I will look into this end to ensure this does not happen again.

Regards

not exactly overly apologetic, but at least it shouldn't happen again, which is my main concern!

ses hope you get keys soon
nat good email
nice 2 hear from u playing

Ses, I am impressed, MN'ing on moving day Hope the keys are free soon, the waiting to pick them up is awful!

Playing! Hello stranger Hope you are well?

I sent the following email:

Hi xxxxx,

I received some of the items yesterday, they are lovely thank you, however I do have a small problem. On the invoice you sent (attached to the outside of the box) my credit card details, including credit card number, expiry dates, even the security code on the back of the card, were printed out clearly for anyone to see. Obviously these are all of the details anyone would need to purchase anything they liked and charge it to my card.

Could you possibly ensure that any further invoices/contact are free from my confidential details, I would just hate for it to get into the wrong hands.

Kind regards

Didn't want to make it a nasty email, so tried to keep it friendly and light hearted. Hopefully it won't happen again. I am going to be checking my bank every five minutes now for the next month!

Afternoon all,

Really been neglecting you guys recently!

Nice to come back after a few weeks and still see everyone chatting away like mad!

Work is so busy at the moment that I dont really have the time to MN so I don't think I'll be on that much but I must make more of an effort to keep in touch with you all!

Not really had time to catch up on the thread just read the last few posts.

Nat - sounds to me like they put the wrong copy in your parcel. They probably have one for yourselfs (a merchant copy) with all your details and have a customer copy with the *'s on. I would say they have been mixed up.

Deige - any news on your cat? So hard when you don't know where they are and what (if anything) is wrong.

Everyone else - so nice to "see" you all again

Yes deffo good job you checked Tink

TINK, I think we are all glad you checked .
Will have a peek at your thread Nat. A wisely-worded e-mail would be good

nat - i luv skull and cross bones luckily
i would definetly phone them up about lack of card security on paperwork that isnt very good
checked on website of place we are having scan as we were only having mini one said sexing no
anyway have phoned them up would have to pay an extra £25 to find out not too bad i guess, glad i checked

I was brave and did the thread, in AIBU! I just don't know what to do about it, don't want them messing the rest of the order about, but then, I don't really want them sending out the rest of the stuff, with a further invoice, with the card details printed out again!

Think I need to spend some time on an email and word it very carefully!

Poor DD's, I hope they take it OK once they're over the shock.

Nat, I think you are perfectly within your rights to feel mightily pissed off about the shop. You're right, those details shouldn't be on an invoice, only the last few digits of your card number, the rest displayed as *. Certainly no security code/expiry date . I've just had my new card delivered today after last week's scam on my card, and the bank reassured me that without a security number no-one can do much. Might be worth started a thread in aibu? Definitely worth a phone call I'd say.
Oh and re: cat the dds haven't even mentioned him yet, which is very strange Mon-thurs though they are out of the house at 7.30ish and back 6.30ish, so may not have twigged yet as he is often out at those times. We are going to say he's gone for a wander as our other cat did, and take it from there.

Awww Diege it is very sad about Big Cat, how are the girls taking it? Good symptom spotting though, agree it is very useful, especially after a MC, to note down every symptom.

Heebee, leather is very easy to keep clean though, mine are brown leather, they started as white as well! (Disclaimer: they weren't really white!) That shop was very good, only ordered on Tuesday, they were here yesterday, or they would have been...

Tink coat sounds like a great bargain! Must admit, that is the only downside to having boys, there are never any nice boy clothes bargains, not unless you actually like skull and crossbones on your newborn! Girls clothes are very easy though.

Glask, I am glad you remember the dungaree conversation, I was sure it was on this thread! Did you get some? Glad the sickness is better

Gruff, what car did you get? Hope your migraine eases soon, they are not fun at the best of times, let alone while pregnant.

I have a question/mini rant! The shop I ordered all the Zanzibar stuff from, some of it was out of stock and she emailed to say that she'd ship what they had in and the rest of the order would follow on in the next week or so. Fine, no problem. But when the first lot arrived yesterday, there was a invoice as you'd expect, except it has my full card details printed on it, card no. expire date, even the secure code thing on the back of the card, usually they'd print it off as a load of stars and the last few digits of the number wouldn't they? Am I right to be feeling a bit annoyed that the letter could have fallen off the box (was only stuck on the outside of the box with selotape) anyone could have had it. But problem is, if I make a fuss, firstly the shop has all my details and could use them, and/or they might not deliver the rest of the order.

do I dare start a thread on this?

Coat sounds fab TINKS - a good price too .

GRUFF, that's sad about sooty . I think Big Cat has also taken the same way out sadly. Even though he was only 12 we'd just taken him to the vet for blood tests as he'd stopped eating and was a bag of bones, and there was some issue with his liver function from the tests

Glask, so glad you're starting to feel a bit better at long last. Lol at Dexy's midnight runners - was the first record I bought!

HEEBS, hello cycle buddy, although as you say we are 'out' re: ovulation. Do you have a feel for when you will ovulate? I must admot to taking a sharp intake in breath when reading about your white sofas...make the most of them pre-dcs!!!

lol @ come on eileen video
glad that your sickness is better today

NJ- it was me and Kay who were talking about maternity dungaree's!!! think someone else was too- we had visions of dexty's midnight runners and the 'come on Eileen' (sp?) video!!!!

DH is off today and i think we're off to the pictures this evening... i'm craving the nacho's they do there!!

yesterday was an awful day with re to my sickness, threw up my meds when i caved and took some!! and ended up having chippy for tea as i couldn't face cooking a thing!! Poor DH has been brilliant though!!

I'm feeling much better today really... not eaten anything yet but the sickness has worn off so far!!

heebjee - lol @ symptom spotting
sounds good diege

Morning all

I am at home with a migraine today feeling sorry for myself

I've just caught up and thread seems to be a whirlwind of big purchases, shopping, scans and of course GOFing!;)

I too have made a big purchase this week - we bought a car at the weekend and picked it up on Tuesday. Its AMAZING!

Also, have my 12 week scan on tuesday so that is very exciting. Can finally tell the few people that still dont know.

Diege - so sorry to hear about your cat. At age 21 my cat went missing, but she was VERY old, and kidneys failing etc. She didnt return. Theres still a song that sets me off about it if I hear it!SSorry I don't want to be negative but I understand how hard it is. My sisters cat went missing though and did turn up again, you just can't know what will happen. Hope he?she? does return to you soon. God, Im welling up thinking about Sooty now. She was FAB! (I was 10 when she went)

Meant to say, Diege, I caught myself symptom spotting a couple of days ago (also on day 18 today) then remember I hadn't ovulated yet!!!

Hmmm - pushchair, paint cans and a suitcase does sound somewhat like a recipe for disaster...

White house is lovely - you can tell we don't have children yet, can't you? Did I mention our sofa/dining chairs are white leather??!

The animals in a box are gorgous!!!! I'll have to investigate this site for pressies for niece/nephew and small army of godchildren...

Nat, I am also a Roy Cropper type and very indecisive when faced with a chocie of purchases. Taking a sample of the Zanzibar into town was a GOOD THING .I'm sure the pale green will look gorgeous - a grass- like backdrop . Your parcel bits are perfect too - you have a veritable show room there!
Yep no sign of Big Cat. Very much thinking the worst now. Odd to be at home today without him on his beanbag, though a little less tearful than yesterday. We've done all we can do, so have to pick myself up a bit.
Morning HEEBS! of your gym-going - I used to be there morning and night before dds - very sad. Even went on boxing day when me and fellow sad sacks asked the gym manager to open up for us . Tis a distant memeory now, though do miss the social side of it all - not the same with a dvd!
I am now going to indulge you with my ttc symptoms. Very little chance of it having worked this month I think, but still useful to get them down if only to compare with next month. So, cd18, boobs seem sore, and slight period-cramps. Have had this for a few days now, so will keep you informed!

Yum!

Diege, take it Big Cat's still missing? Still don't give up hope yet, stranger things have happened (my sister's cat returned after 6 months travelling!!)

Tink, deffo go for the coat, it's not worth a trip to town for laces, you can get them at Tesco!

Heebee, am of your white house - t'is my dream! Wouldn't dare, we managed a creamy colour in the hallway, but there is a line of DS1's handprints going up the wall next the stairs....

So, the parcel, I am so pleased with it, though you will all read this looking like . It is this and this both to go on the bookcase, the elephant is nice but nothing special TBH, but the 'animals in a box' thing is absolutely stunning, the detail in the carvings, and the painting, they are beautiful

And I went for a light pale green on the walls and a creamy-browny colour for the skirtings, never used anything except white or very bright colours (in the boy's room) on the woodwork, if it looks like dirty white when we put it on, will put it back to white. I am a bit of Roy Cropper though, I actually took one of the smaller bits of the Zanzibar stuff to town with me so I could check the colours Must have looked a right bloody plonker!

Also got the minstrels () got DS2 a ITNG hat, gloves and scarf set (which he is running around in the living room wearing!) and I got a small suitcase on wheels thingy to use for the hospital Tip: NEVER attempt to carry a suitcase while pushing a pushchair that is loaded with paint pots...
