Thought that very odd but she said they'd had some probs with their card machines, so I shrugged it off and used the debit card instead. Ten minutes later I was in HMV when Mick rang, Barclaycard had rung him to tell him the card had been hacked for the second time since the summer! Only a small purchase - an O2 phone card in a different part of the country to any of our normal purchases - same as last time, which is what alerted them! Well done Barclaycard as it could have been much worse I guess! Our PayPal and Amazon accounts are linked to this card though, so it isn't the best time of year for it to be out of commission while we wait for replacements 
I am bidding on ebay for something at the moment, so I hope the new cards come soon Also I was setting off door security alarms in every shop I went into!
First Boots for some face cream, then Sainsbury's for milk, then Waterstones for a mooch. In Waterstones it went off as I went in, so I started explaining to the nice man rearranging the books on the table near the entrance about how I'd been doing that all day, and I thought it was a metal face compact in my bag.....he listened politely then informed me he didn't actually work there, he was just sorting through the books to find the one he wanted 
Not been my day really
