Ok, first of all I have to share what I saw on the train this morning:

An advert for garlic that read "Small doses of garlic can be fatal to leeches." and written in childish print right next to it read and vampires. I just thought that was so funny. Well at least it made me smile. =)

Ok, on to other good news..........I met up with my HSBC branch manager tonight (regarding the compensation). I don't know if I wrote about it earlier but basically after all the headache and nightmare I have been through with that bank, not to mention all the work lost trying to sort out things.....he initially offered me 250 pounds over the phone. I was in shock and told him that was no where near enough for me. So he tells me he is not authorized to give out more but would need to speak to the regional manager and I tell him I would like to meet with him in person. So we set up an appointment which is what I went to tonight. I think I basically called him on his bluff. It was just him and he was very nice and polite and I went through what has happened. He asked me how much I wanted and I told him no less than 750.......so that is what he is giving me!!! I am really happy with the results. I still dont think it was enough but its not bad and what I expected to get. So glad that is over!!! Should be getting it added to my account sometime next week....lets hope. That is going towards our anniversary Italy trip for sure! =)

So I am getting really excited about the weekend. I got my marriage license in the post today, thankfully. I need to call the British Embassy in Paris to make sure all will be ok for me to re-enter the country as a resident. I bought some cute tops and sandals and Ronny some tops and a memory card for my camera so will have plenty of pics to upload and share with you guys.

Anyways, I am so tired so will catch you guys when I get back! Au revoir!!!!!
