My summervacation: day 3

[beelikej]

Got up at 6 this morning to make that call to Australia to order my trainpass and make a reservation for the first journey. Talked to a very nice lady on the phone (whose accent make me smile because that made it official;) who told me she had been to my hometown and thought it was pretty and quaint:) I had already sent a mail with personal information, so all that was needed was my creditcard information. I gave her my number AND THEN MY PAYMENT WAS DECLINED... EEEp! The lovely lady stayed calm and said it wasn't a problem. Apparently this sometimes happens with international transactions and I should call my bank to explain. I was worried the cc-office would be closed this early, but gave it a try anyway and low and behold, I got someone on the phone! As it turns out they had put my card on a watch-list due to a recent possibly unsafe payment over the internet and I was adviced to get a new card as soon as possible. They offered to block my card right after I finished the Australian transaction. So I immediately called the railway back and we managed to get everything sorted right away. I received my confirmation two minutes later, woohoo! (Should get a new creditcard within a week at no costs)

Right now I just finished doing the dishes (yay, finally!) and cleaning up a bit in preparation for sillie82's visit. She should be arriving in about thirty minutes for a three day marathon of Supernatural, CSI and Being Human. I hope we survive the heat in the attic. (Summer- and actors;)
