Or in my case I would say "bloody typical". Been one of those months, first I had my bird die a week before my birthday (devastation 1) Then I had my bank phone me to tell me that someone had hacked my account and there was a potential fraud (devastation 2) One of my teeth had a load of filling as well as tooth fall out and turns out I need a crown (devastation 3) AND 4, to top it all off I had a virus hit my computer last week resulting in me not being able to come online and also wiped out my complete and utter savings for getting my new budgies to sort out the problem. To say that I am looking forward to April is an understatement! Sorry have not been around for a while and I hope you guys are having a better time than me!

What a total pain Sam (I can't swear here but I am thinking worse words than pain)
Any breeders in Kent willing to donate Sam some free budgies ;D She has had an awful time of it.
I take it your bank will refund you for the fraud? - hope so!

There's a song that says Things Can Only Get Better.....
I haven't been on much lately either...I'm too busy at work, and or course budgie nurse duties.
Hope you get your bank stuff sorted. That's not good.

Oh poor you Sam!!! That sounds like no fun at all! Round around April - you definitely have some good news due your way, very soon, so hope you make it to the weekend without any more mishaps, and then goodbye March!

Cheers guys! Wasn't much fun I gotta say, but rest assured Marianne the bank did refund the money (phew)! Great video Mick! Where has D:Ream been all my life? ;D Without me trying to make a sob story it just seems that when I finally managed to get saving some pennies, they were wiped out in one fowl swoop by a computer virus! And as I was made redundant, saving is a long process! But am going to wait as far as the birdies are concerned as I need to get the BEST set up, so saving for the Piano 6 Bird cage, plus carry cage, plus F10SC....you catch my drift! What was it you said once Stace about might be cheaper buying a yacht?! But fate is a funny old thing, so I will just have to be patient

Cheers guys! Wasn't much fun I gotta say, but rest assured Marianne the bank did refund the money (phew)! Some good news at least A friend visited UK 3 months back and used her credit card for hotel stay and shopping. This credit card was used for hefty amount after she left UK. Bank refuses to refund.

Good news from the bank, Sam. Bad news for the computer. I wish I could help you set up for your new friends when you decide to, in the meantime I suppose you have got job-hunting on your agenda to think about as well as the other problems. I am sending out good vibes ............. someone needs you for another job! Hope things look up soon. Fate sure is a funny old thing - pity she doesn't make her messages a little more clear sometimes!

Cheers Moogie, it certainly does make you wonder! But hopefully things will improve fro here on That is terrible news BB, especially when the bank wont help at all Thanks Hezz, things wil happen eventually but just typical not when I want them to! That goes for job hunting and budgie kit buying! I am just glad Monts did so much to encourage me to think that I don't think I will ever be able to live without her kind in future. That is a positive from her, I know it

Know what you mean Sam. No matter how much pain their passing cause, it's nothing compared to the smiles of following their lives.

So it's her bank in your country that is to blame?

So it's her bank in your country that is to blame? It was Visa, which is International company but issued by a local bank. They say that the user is supposed to make sure that no one gets the credit card number. But I don't see how is it possible when you give it to others for charging and they have the numbers in their records. I used my card to buy budgies supplements online and I had to enter all my card details.
