Money, a much overrated sidekick

So 2 days 'til I leave Heathrow and still no cash. Went to the bank this morning to see if my loan had come through - which it hadn't - surprise me. Apparently, (according to the intelectually challenged lump of acne sat in front of me) having filled out and signed a white form last week, I now have to sign a yellow one, and then wait a day for it all to clear.

"No worries" I crowed, " show me the fo...."

"We don't have it yet sir, It hasn't been sent down from Central office yet."

Great, thank goodness I'm not leaving on Friday...

Added to which, I've lost my travel insurance certificate, and the network is down so I can't get another one. And they say things happen in 3s (I'm of a mind to insist on giving the plane a once over myself).

Nice
