I tried to buy Amanda the Adventurer on Steam last night, and it failed on both my Bank cards.

Damn you Virgin Money!

If I get paid this week, either from work (not happening) or the benefits (might/might not happen) I might invest in Amanda the Adventurer on Steam, especially now I know how to get non Linux versions to work in compatibility mode, I managed that with TemTem last week.

It really shouldn't have been that much of a hassle idk if it's just payments not going through or the PC you are using I really don't know. Sorry to hear it's a faff :(

It's both.

I know I have no funds on my ready cash card (spending money account) till I get paid some time this week, but my other card fails on every site except Amazon, Moonpig and Xbox.com.

And both my PCs run on Linux (Penguin at the Flat, Ubuntu 22.04 here) and the majority of games on Steam are for Windows, I've managed to get some games to work on compatibility mode though.

Did the weekly shop, and the last thing on the receipt is...a bottle of wine.

Might have to pay for next Wednesday's grading in class on Sunday.

Other than that, I may have to pay for a box to send off that Batman Funko Pop that's just sold on eBay this afternoon.

Can't get to the PO till Friday though.

Black size 10 Wellies from Wynsors.

Possibly tomorrow.

To complete a Batman cosplay project.

Postage label for a pair of black Batman boots that arrived from China at Mum and Dad's on Wednesday.

International postage! Ouch! It'll not be cheap that! Especially when I'd have to send it recorded delivery with a tracking number because I don't trust Royal Mail to not lose expensive parcels as it's happened more than once before.

Maybe one day I'll stop buying stuff that ends up being no good in the flippin' first place.
