Fast Times

FISTING

Background: in spite of our best efforts, oats and i have never EVER been able to organize a trip without complications. not that there have been many, or any for that matter, apart from our hop and a skip to madrid, for her birthday last year. Anyhow.........i think i want to recount for posterity our NOT entirely hitch-free efforts to get ourselves over to madrid again.

FISTTTTTTTTTTT
sparkle, claiming poverty (``Oh change the record''), tells oats, ``sorry, can't.'' doesn't take much toil on oats' end to persuade sparkle otherwise. sparkle proceeds to get online and speedily purchases a ticket. sparkle is SHOCKED her credit card has gone through and grins the smirk of the smug. said action, involved FUKING oats out a ticket she had been eyeing up.
FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIST
oats gets online and is APPALLED that, courtesy of stealthy sparkle's online action, her ticket has doubled in price. adding salt to injury, it looks unlikely they will be on the same flight. they seem fated never to be.
<FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFISSSST
did i mention my credit card went through? who are we kidding. this is me afterall. and i do not inhabit a parallel universe. after a seething oats spends her last brass farthing on another ticket i get a prompt email saying my payment has not gone through afterall. a resigned oats stoically hands over her visa... bottoms up
