April

Once April came we drove north to our condo for the month and as usual had a birthday party for Melvyn. It now seems to be the accepted thing that April 11th is party time at the Becks' condo. Not sure what will happen next year as Melvyn isn't coming out till later in April!

I had quite a shock in April when I found out that my credit card had been used fraudulently for £8500. I had several interesting discussions with Barclycard...they didn't seem too worried about it and just wrote it off my card. I thought they should try harder to find the villain as I sent them the website of the Indian take away that authorised two payments each of over £3000 in two days and an address in Leicester where my new details had been sent to. After several letters about how concerned I was that they were happy to write off so much money....they sent me £100 to stop me complaining!!!! Needless to say I now have a different credit card company!
