Sheeez, what a day it was yesterday. I made the down payment for my surgery via credit card. About an hour later the lady at the doc's office calls me back at my office to tell it'd been declined. I was stunned because I knew darn well the balance was way below the limit. Sooooo, I get off the phone with her and about 10 mins later mh dh (who is also my boss) comes upstairs to my office to tell that Morgan Stanley just called him to get his PERMISSION to put the charge through. The f*****s informed on me!!! Then they proceeded to clear the charges I'd made this week with him too. Like it's just some big freakin secret when I spend £6.00 on amazon.

So I had to call the office back and tell them to run it again. How humiliating to have some darn company think that the woman on a joint account needs her husband's permission before she can spend money. I can see them calling ME to see if I made the charge but sheez. My dh said to the guy, you know it really isnt necessary. It's not like I'm going to go beat her brains out for spending money.

It's funny but not funny, ya know??? I'd go burn my bra in protest if it didnt mean my boobs would be in my lap the rest of the day like two racoons fighting under a blanket. lol:faint:

hey there

at least you can now feel very young ..having to get permission to pay for op ..im sorry i know you didnt find it funny but it made me laugh loads ...especially the burning of the bra !!im right there with you ive lost sixty pounds so far 42 to go and then i want my tummy tucked my boobs lifted back up and my thighs sucked( as you can tell excercise and me dont mix) but it great to have to not lug around those extra pounds ...good luck with the band it really ismoney well spent !

Thanks for the cheer up.I know it will be totally worth it and I can certainly laugh about what happened yesterday. Yes, I was fuming at the time because it was quite embarassing.

In retrospect I did feel somewhat like a chastised child really. I think part of me is still getting used to actually having joint anything. I was only just married this past December after many years of singledom.

I wish you well with your loss. Wow, you've really done well!!! I had a tummy tuck and breast lift done in 1999 after I lost tons of weight on Atkins. We see how well THAT stayed off considering I'm now 30lbs higher than I was at my max back then. lol Hopefully I wont need another tummy tuck but the boob lift just couldnt last out the fluctuating weight and another baby. That will def need re-doing.

I wish I had just spent the plastic surgery money on getting a band. oh well.:eek:

WOW Voodoo, I would be calling that place and kicking some a**. Let's be real, they have NO BUSINESS calling someone else to get anything approved. Obvisously your DH trusts you or he wouldn't have a joint account with you, and that is none of their dam business! Sheesh....

Sorry you were so upset... that sounds embarrassing. The bright side is you made lots of us out here laugh. Isn't it funny that the most embarrassing situations make the best anectdotes?!!

Good luck to you. I'm a recent bandster and so far no regrets.

Thanks for sharing!:eek:

Booboo, I was THAT tempted yesterday. I really was. I mean, the idea of them doing that. I told my dh, what if I were taking clients out for lunch trying to land a new account and it gets turned down until they clear it with him. What if it was for a surprise gift or something.

At any rate, I did decide after I pay off the balance with them next month I'm going to just cancel the account. We've had probs with them in the past freezing our cards when we tried to use them abraod even after we'd called them to let them know we were going on holiday. Sheez, I have enough cards in my wallet that I won't miss that one. lol

Thanks so much. I really am glad it makes ya'll have a giggle. We all need more of those and I can laugh now def.
