No I don't do that. I only use my card to pay for purchases that I buy online.

You'll be fine. If you get a digit wrong, the account won't match up and your money won't be sent. Although you may be asked if you are making the transfer under duress. big grin

Oh no, I'm not sure this is a good idea, I'll see what happens when they answer my email.

by Cake Lover 22.05.24 16:11

It's part of security. A nuisance if you are moving money into another of your own accounts, but I'm glad they do it.

by crusader 22.05.24 16:17

How will they communicate with me if I don't do online banking?

by Cake Lover 22.05.24 16:27

I did online banking before making my first transfer, so I assume you can't. I don't know if you can still pay by cheque?

by **Jill Havern** 22.05.24 16:33

Maybe they can phone you and take your order that way?

If they want your custom they'll find a way.

by crusader 22.05.24 16:36

If I can pay by card, all good, if not I'll just have to wait.
I'll see what they say in the email.

by **Jill Havern** 22.05.24 16:58

I was going to say to factor in the P&P, but apparently they do free shipping.

Yes it said it should be 40 euros and free shipping.

by crusader 22.05.24 18:03

Just has an email back from them directing me to Wook.
I'm back to square one.

by **Jill Havern** 22.05.24 18:20

Peter ordered his via email....

Can't you tell them you can't order via the site which is why you've emailed them (whilst playing 'There's a hole in my bucket' in the background?)

by crusader 22.05.24 18:23

I think I've had enough excitement for today.

by crusader 22.05.24 19:19

Ok, I had one last attempt' I went to
https://www.bertrand.pt/autor/bernt-s...
All ok, put in my details, made a password, got to the pay bit and they wanted 15.77 euro's postage.
I'm not bothering again.

by Cake Lover 22.05.24 20:46

I wouldn't, either.

by **Jill Havern** 23.05.24 10:43

My book has arrived, and it looks fabulous...it's a whopper!

Thank you Peter, and Mr Stellander singlerose

by crusader 23.05.24 10:46

I'm well jell, that's the rest of your day mapped out.

by **Jill Havern** 23.05.24 10:52

The rest of the day?!

It's going to take me the rest of the summer to get through that...since I was ill my head has slowed down and I can't concentrate for very long.

by Ladyinred 23.05.24 10:59

I can't get my head around that Madeleine 's body is buried in Portugal, allegedly.

I look forward to PeterMac's update on the book.

by crusader 23.05.24 11:00

I would go to the incriminating revelations first, then take my time over the rest. nod

I have a very short span of attention, so I wouldn't be able to start from the beginning of the book.

by **Jill Havern** 23.05.24 11:16

That's exactly what I'm going to do crusader.

A lot of the book is stuff we all already know from the PJ files, Kate's bewk, this forum, blogs, and Farcebook groups - it's the investigation I'm interested in....which is still the size of a normal book in itself.

From one of the photocopied pages Peter sent me yesterday, there was the word 'cave'.

Hi Crusader, I finally got one ordered after much faffing........however the last part of my address was not on the receipt....only road and town!!!....hope it gets here......It cost £43 in total includidng p&P.... their site seemed to be down first thing....perhaps crashed?......

by crusader 23.05.24 15:05

I noticed they had got a line of my address wrong as well, after I had had put my address in, it reverted to Portuguese with 2 different delivery options, both with a very high delivery charge.
I'm glad I cancelled now.

by Cake Lover 23.05.24 16:01

I'm too mean to buy it; and now, I don't think I could have got through the process big grin

by **Jill Havern** 23.05.24 18:54

It's definitely a page-turner of a book. I haven't got to the juicy bits yet, but I think I'm almost at the point where he's going to start his field camera work as he's now pinpointed the location.

BUT the book is sooooo heavy that it actually hurts me to read it - physically I mean. I just can't get in to a comfortable position.
I've read 100 or so pages so far, but I'm having a rest and some painkillers big grin

by crusader 23.05.24 19:00

Hang in there Jill.

by Cake Lover 23.05.24 19:04

Keep at it, Cap'n.
