my absurd finances pt [numbers run out this high]

[dubdobdee]

a: ok so bcz i forgot to invoice at work for two months in a row (?!) my account "ran low"
b: in the meanwhile -- as everything takes "five days to clear" these days -- i wrote a cheque transferring what was needed from a savings account
c: forgetting that that account had been wound up/transferred to another bank entirely, so the chequebook i used was defunct (note to self: throw away defunct chequebook)
d: it took those concerned MORE than five days to inform me of this problem
e: so all my direct debits got cancelled pah
f: i am in the middle of restarting them all, which is a boring pain (but not complicated)...
g: ... and received the following xmas present, viz from [a certain utilities company]

DDD: my DD got cancelled and i am restarting it (blah blah)
CUC: certainly sir, what level would you like it set at?
DDD: how much do i owe you?
CUC: well sir, we actually owe YOU!!
DDD: how much?
CUC: haha, £1053.oo
DDD: blimey!
CUC: would you like a rebate?
DDD: i think that would be nice

this is why i will never pay utility bills by DD, it's too effing random, they must have squillions of quid that the Great British Public could be OUT, SPENDING.
