A couple of days ago I was online buying various sauces and also some confectionery from a wholesaler. However when it came to checking out, my payment would not go through. I did not think much of it at the time presuming it must be just an age or member thing. The day after that though, I used the same card when trying to purchase a train ticket to Hither Green to practise my minigolf and again my card was declined. Having tried it in several different cash points it only then, finally dawned on me.
My card had clearly been blocked. I knew there was only one possible reason my card would have been blocked and the answer was quite ridiculous, minigolf. You see only recently I had bought lots of minigolf balls from ebay, clearly my bank had thought it odd that I had sent tonnes of money to Switzerland and had taken action. Ridiculous as I said, what is odd with sending large amounts of money to Switzerland! Perhaps, they thought I was changing bank?
As of yet, I have not got around to informing Santander of their mistake, though I look forward to the bank tellers face when I tell them why I sent all that money off.
How much did you spend on all those balls?
Enough to put a large dent in my metaphorical wallet.
