GET F'D KIWIBANK

 

A month ago I got an email from 'Kiwibank'.  In it they said they had noticed frequent 3rd party deposits and MULTIPLE CASH DEPOSITS AT ATM'S.

And they demanded I provide documentation to show where the money was coming from?  And proof of my address bla bla bla.

I thought it was a scam, I really did.

Why?  Because I have only had A FEW deposits into that account from people buying my patchwork, and as for me putting cash into ATM's?  NEVER HAVE I EVER PUT CASH INTO AN ATM machine.  Like, NEVER.

So of course I thought it was a scam, someone trying to get my information to rip me off.

UNTIL YESTERDAY, when I got another email, saying because I had not provided the requested documentation, they were closing my account, and I needed to get my money out of the account before they closed it!  

I was like... OK, I need to go into the bank to sort this out.  STILL thinking it was a scam of some sort.

BUT NO!  It was real.  And when I asked them to show me PROOF of 'numerous 3rd party deposits', and MULTIPLE unexplained cash deposits into ATM's... they said they didn't have to show me!

So I was like, fine you arseholes, give my all my money (there wasn't a lot in there thankfully), and I closed the accounts myself.

I had been with Kiwibank for over 25 years, and they can now get fucked.

I was/am furious.   I am sure they can see I did not make ANY cash deposits into those accounts.  And nor were there any such deposits on my statements.

Stew reckons they just wanted to close my accounts because they were not making much money out of me.  

Whatever.  It's over.  I am now back to being a one bank person, not two.

And there ends my rant.

When I started WEGOVY, I also bought some Opti Fast chocolate shakes to help speed things up a bit.  But I hate them, they have this hideous taste, and even putting fruit in and blending it all together, it was still hideous.

Then someone told me about the Opti Fast Lemon dessert.

So yesterday I bought some...

ABOVE: I whizzed it up in my blender and put it in the fridge for 5 minutes, as per the instructions.

Then I tried it, fully expecting it to still have that nasty Opti Shake taste.

BUT NO... it was perfectly palatable.  Nice even.  Such a relief, as it gives me a very low calorie option when I feel peckish in the evening.

They cost $5.37 per serve, so you can't quibble about that.

Today I will be going to Pak n Save for what I didn't get yesterday.  Then coming home and going to the craft room to do some sewing with the girls.  As long as it's not raining, I'm not trudging down to the craft room in the rain.  I'd rather stay home.

ONWARD...
