Round 1 and 2

The last two days have been a bit stressful.

Super Handsome and I went to the bank in the UK on Saturday to open an account.  We did this with the purpose to link it with our new French bank account. We needed a document that I had to bring back on Monday before they could complete the process.

I took the said document that we had agreed was needed in Monday.  I also took an additional document in as well.  I showed both to the staff and they insisted they needed the additional document and not the document that I had been told to bring in.  I asked them to make a copy of both documents, but they refused.  Even when I asked them to just in case.

Fast forward to Tuesday.  I contacted my US credit union and asked them to wire money from my account to France.  They refused me because I had recently changed my address.  So, I tried my other US bank and they said they would do all that they could for me.  Great!

Then I got the call from the UK bank, that document that they had not copied for me?  Well, I needed to run it back into the bank.  It turns out that they really should have copied it for me.

So, right now.  I still don’t have a UK bank account or a wire transfer to going to France.

That’s ok, we are suppose to vacate Oak Lodge in 7 days and we still don’t have packers scheduled yet.
