Elaine, I am sorry that you purse seems to have been stolen, I hope nothing else is missing and hope you have given the dogs a strict talking to!

It gives you a warm feeling when others help out tho doesn't it, and what goes around comes around, so the bus driver and the post office chap will all get good things coming their way and the thief will get his just desserts in time.

take care love,
Lizxx

Sorry to hear about your troubles but was really touched to hear that the lady bus driver was so helpful - thank goodness there are still some people out there who are willing to help someone in their troubles.

Hope you get it all sorted soon.

I have not I fear found it, but working back I must have had it in the house as I took £3 coins to the local shop to get a tin of beans and some cream. I now think it must have been taken from the house while I was hoovering upstairs two b.....y dogs with me (can't move without them). Rang and cancelled my cards told the banks and card insurance. Friday I phoned the Al and Leic to find out what was needed to get money out. Was told by a nuice girl to take my passport and a statement to the post office and phone this number while there and I would be able to withdraw an amout. Well I did this and the man at the post office bent over backwards to help even phoned the number and loads of others for me. They said they needed a sort code and as there was none on my statement I couldn't give them one. They suggested I go to a main branch both of which were 8miles distant. I told them clearly that my purse had been stole so no money not even my bus pass could they tell me how to get there. Any way no joy. I went to the Yorkshire bank where I have an account taking my passport and a statement and within two minutes had enough cash to tied me over the bank holiday weekend. I have laid a curse on whoever took it so if you see a person with no hands !! The upside of this is the man at the post office I called in today with a thank you card for him and the bus I caught up there I asked how much the fare was explaining how my puse had been stolen and the lady driver said take your ticket and winked. Darned me if I didn't get on her bus coming home and the same take you ticket and wink. Two lovely people. Elaine.
