What an awful feeling. Packing up yesterday morning Warren couldn't find his wallet. We had been to Supercheap and then we went to a cafe before going to Rob's.
Maybe it had fallen out of his pocket at Rob's or he had left it at the cafe. The coffee place didn't have a phone number so couldn't ring them, rang Rob and he had a look on couch.
We decided we would go via the coffee place, nothing had been handed in, we went back to Rob's, had a coffee with him while Warren organised to cancel bank cards. No money was in the wallet only drivers licence, credit card and pension card. Before we put a hold on the card, I transferred money from savings account to our other cards that we have our sanity money in.
All this mucking around meant leaving Melbourne later than planned. As Rob lives on the East side of the city, we decided to go out further east and then go north to Canberra. Usually we go through the middle of Melbourne and then north taking about two hours to get out of the city.
We took a break an hour or so later for lunch and petrol. Then we just hoped that the transfer had gone through as our saving/credit card was now on hold. Whoops, I had $30 in my account, luckily Warren had $143 in his account. These are our pocket money account which gets $50 a month. The transfers had not gone through. We knew how much our next two nights were going to cost and instead of filling the car, we had to limit that.
Settled into the caravan park and I cooked dinner while Warren went cupboards all two of them in the trailer, we knew that thecardhad not been used so we're thinking that maybe it was in the van or the car.
Having dinner in front of the tv and weboth saw it at the same time. Warren must have put his wallet under the tv and on the leg. TV has to be moved to under the bedcovers when we pack up so he had moved it and also moved it again when he set it up. He had been thinking about it and his wallet was moving in his jacket when he took the Annex down.
The bank had only put a temporary hold on the card so we were able to reactivate it. His money transfer came through this morning but the money that transferred to my account is still not there. Good idea though to have other accounts.
