The recovery

There are two things that are very annoying when it comes to some dirty, thieving, good for nothing, fast talking, busy handed, grungy, lousy quick fingered bastard lifting your wallet.

Firstly - you beat yourself up that you were actually stupid enough to let it happen.

Secondly - you have to replace everything. To be honest it hasn't gone too badly so far. New SIM card (keeping same phone number - thank god) has already arrived. I hate not having a phone, so that is a blessing.

All cards, NZ and UK successfully cancelled and re-issued.

Cheque cashed at bank to get through the next few days.

New Oyster Card sorted.

Anger subsiding, Pride taking a bit longer to re-establish!
