Not that I've been around these parts for some time anyhow, but I'm off on Saturday to spend a week with my broken mum. So if youse guys see anybody moping around looking for me, let 'em know for me!

She has dial-up ...

Did'nt think they still did dial-up...well not here anyway.

Have a good week with your mum then JC and dont get withdrawal symptoms....

I did start on this one but lost interest..now this is a good bit of observation??

Well that one would drive me up a wall.

Completely inadequate info (like that bit about all the kids born in her middle age) ...

There's no Llewellyn Thomas born in 1917 with mother Thomas. What's she looking at? Oh heck, maybe I'll ask her.

Now

Shall I copy all the stuff Gins so kindly found for me on this ancestor leaving these British shores.....or....wait until tomorrow when I will phone anc*stry and see if they will give me a big discount to upgrade to worldwide? ummmm

ja...x

JC

have a good week with your Mum!

yes,


I got the email last week telling me that my ancestry is due on May 15 .............. and saying they will do an automatic deduction from my cc


no, they won't


................... 'cos that card don't exist any more :))

Fans said she got 25% discount a few days after I only got 10%

When I had a look to see how much it would cost to upgrade they took the full amount and deducted what I had used looks like this

Worldwide Membership
Annual Membership Fee £135.13
Tax £20.27

Total Due Today £155.40

Refund £80.56
This refund is from the remaining balance on your current subscription and will
appear as a separate transaction on the card which was originally charged.


I paid £96 two months ago it did'nt look good to me ??

ja...x

So are they charging me the full amount and giving me the discounted membership money back?

so they're basically charging you £15.44 for 2 months use?



You know, I've never bothered trying to get a discount from them .................. I've seen people talk about Tesco points (or something) .................. but we don't have Tesco here


and I'm sure that any discounts that might possibly be available from one of our superstores would be for ancestry.ca ..... not that I think that is the kind of thing that any of our stores do.

This was a phone call to their 0800 number I should have argued for a bit more....but it looks like if I upgrade the year starts from now and the rest refunded....so I may call them see what they say. dont need it but it could come in useful like it would have done today

ja...x

Only thing is they cannot refund me on my card that was used as the bank cancelled it....now what??

ja...x

I do not know!!


I said earlier that they couldn't charge it automatically to my cc they had on file?


That's because that card was cancelled by M/C after their security discovered it had been used in Quebec, while I was in BC .............. some sort of copied card was used.


So that card doesn't exist now, and I have a new one that M/C issued.


I have to admit I was very impressed that M/C security had tabbed the use of a card in another province and phoned me to check whether that was a valid use

............. I do have to remember to tell our cc issuers when we leave BC for elsewhere in Canada, or when we leave the country.

As you know mine was used fraudently or tried...I have never had calls while away though.

Four years ago HID got a call at some unearthly hour when we were in Vegas it went onto answerphone but he rang them back when he was actually awake. They just wanted to know if it was him using the card...cost him quite a bit for the answerphone message and phone call back...he should of told them before he went I suppose.

My bank just knew I was a gambler lol

oops time for bed night x

I do try to remember to phone them before we leave home .... forgot the last time we went to the UK though!


Interestingly, they didn't seem to have checked that time!



night night ja...x

Well, I'm here and ready for brekkie Sylvs......made it in front of Dea today! Haven't had French toast for ages......Mmmm delish...thank you.




One never knows what is going to be happening on this thread overnight....lol one morning I come down to a genealogical thread and then, this morning, it's high finance and the galloping number game. Better than reading the newspaper though.



Enjoy your week with your mum Janey - her birthday friend sends her love and good wishes for a speedy recovery.


Better go and get showered........~~~~

Good morning all!

Janey - my best wishes also to your mum, I hope you spend a lovely week with her !

They were very chatty last night weren't they Cynthia? I hope you have left me some of that French Toast for 'afters' - Doesn't Sylvia do a lovely breakfast? (Thank you Sylvs Xxx)

Toots...........
I just read your kind offer re asking OH's cousing to give an opinion on my Grand-daughter's Lemon Tree, I must have missed it somehow last night. I would be very grateful. Thank you.

See you all later - have a lovely day.

Dea x

nice to see you two early risers!

Is French Toast.....Eggy Bread?????

If so I will have two slices please with plenty of salt

Yum

Well thats interesting!!

Just seen a post on FB by nu2 daughter saying she wants to go somewhere and then says she will get her dad to take her.

Thing is I cant visit them due to the fact they only have an upstairs toilet and I cant get up stairs. I have had one visit last August and another in Feb, his excuse is he cant drive any more due to being epeleptic or so he says, so he has to rely on his partner...so is he lieing or driving when he should'nt??If he is driving and I know he passed out while driving a vehical in his works grounds I am not happy that he is driving the kids about. aghhh
