However, be very wary of identity theft because of this!
This incident has started me thinking about something though... but I'd hate to derail, so I wont.

It can't have been more than an hour between me buying the lamp and then cancelling it at the bank - though my natural paranoia does make me wonder if they had been watching me as an easy target.
I dont' remember anyone following me per se - but then each baseball hatted scroat looks the same.
I've actually found my repeat prescription (in the pocket of some trousers I was about to put in the wash
) so I couldn't have put it in there after collection it last. See, told you I had a memory like a leaky bucket.
What that does mean though is I'm fairly certain that there wasn't anything in there with my address on - which is good - and I only have the one bank card so that was simple too.
I am now going to have to phone up places like the Doctor, hospital etc and get them to remind me when my appointments were as they were all written in there so I didn't have to remember them.
The most inconvenient thing is I'm going to have to resort to using cash until my new card comes in - I hardly ever carry cash. Oh yeah, and it scuppers internet shopping too until I get my new card.
Bah humbug.
