oh FFS

guess who lost her wallet?

I had the day from hell yesterday, just awful. except I quite enjoyed the PTA meeting. But I left there at 9.20 and went to the supermercado. The boys really needed decent school bags, our stuff is still held up by a public sector strike, so at 9.45 I'm traipsing round a supermarket, exhausted, confused, and as it turns out - careless.

i manged to pay for my stuff, go and get $100,000 pesos cash out to pay the locksmith, then somewhere between there and here - I lost my wallet. which i didn't notice until this morning.

so - i've been back to the shop - no luck, checked with the men at the front desk here at the flat and to the police with Rebeca the relocator.

i've lost a credit card, a debit card, my chilean ID, my health insurance card, both my drivers' licenses, and about £120 in cash.

bugger.

i've cancelled the cards, no one had used them. but getting my driver's license replaced won't be easy.

and i'm not sure if my new debit and credit cards will be safely forwarded here. and it will take a month anyway.

thank goodness for skype at least - cancelling the cards was easy.

must figure out how to get my drivers' license replaced now. at least it won't cost me money if someone uses that.

and i probably can't get a chilean one while the strike is on.


still, we have matresses and borrowed sheets and towels to sleep on now. tomorrow night, we sleep in the house. hurrah!
