...that I have completely wasted this afternoon.
With the upcoming budget we decided that I should put some dosh into ISAs.
Now finances is not my thing but W looks after her dosh very well so I take her advice.
So I tried to log on to Barclays website to look at my accounts. I never use them just leave dosh in there.
Could I open the flipper? Could I heck as like.
Eventually after making about 50 choices on the phone keypad I get to talk to a wimmins in Sri Lanka or somewhere. She tried to help but no, nothing doing.
So she is sending me brand new login stuff.
Which will take 10 days, so the good deals will be over by then.
Grr!
Never mind sez I and goes onto the websites to find the best places giving the best rates, one of the very best is HTB, but they are an "online only" bunch.
So I decide to open an account. All went well until they were supposed to send a verification code.
It never came. not in Spam, not in Corned Beef not in Inbox, nowhere, mon frere.
So I try to contact them, (fall about laughing) and eventually find an email address, "additionalsupport@......etc".
Fired off an email. and of course what drops into my inbopx a short while later? Mail delivery fault, bad email address.
I think it may be because I only have one normal current account the joint one with W and have other accounts in various places that both I and we use for other stuff. And the account I gave them was one with a sort code and an account number but it wasn't technically a "current" account. As if it flipping matters where the dosh is coming from, it'll only be one payment.
God I hate tech!
You couldn't make it up.
And it's raining.
The evening can only get better!
Have a good one folks!
