So I decided I needed to buy a binder. My first problem was that I had no money, so I got a job! 1 month later and I was earning some dollars! I also had a bank account set up. After 2 weeks of working, I finally thought I had enough money to buy a binder, so I set up a Paypal account  8) I waited till the end of the month...which was really only 5 days after setting up the account, so I could read my bank statement and verify paypal to use  ;) The bank statement never came, so I had to wait another couple of days before my mum would drive me to the bank. When I got to the bank, I realised I had forgotten my bank card ahh so I was panicking :-X Fortunately my mum had a copy! :D

I got my statement seconds later and realised that in fact, my work hadnt been paying me, so I didnt have enough money after all  :( Another week later and everything was sorted. I tried to use paypal twice, but each time I was told my bank account had "insufficient funds" I later worked out that I had the wrong bank account, and paypal couldnt use it  >:( So I figured, that I may be able to write a money order instead. I went to the post office and was told that "they dont do money orders to America any more"  :-\ I made another bank account and added it to paypal. This meant waiting another week so I could verify the account again! I ordered another binder and last night got the news, the money had been sent!  ;D

WOOOOHOOO!!!! 2 MONTHS LATER AND FINALLY!!!! My binder will, or should arrive on Monday! ;D I am just praying to God that this package does not get lost in the mail  :P With my luck and this binder there is a 99% chance its bound to happen. YAYAYAYAAA! Cant wait to wear it, itll be so worth it  8)

Hey, congrats! That's a lot of work; hopefully it pays off! It would be my kind of luck for it to get lost; hopefully you have better luck than me! *knocks on wood*  ;D

You sure jumped through enough hoops just to order a binder. Props to you. Enjoy that binder after all that, lol.

Persistence pays off.  ;)
You might not get it until Tuesday though; I'm pretty sure that the mail doesn't run on the 5th. The people at the post office really, really want a holiday apparently. :(

Random side note:
The last time I got an underworks binder they had a computer problem at the exact moment my order should've gone through. We got charged for a binder, but the order didn't register on their end. Almost two months went by before it got sorted out and they sent me one. But, what are the odds of that happening again to anyone (I just ordered another one, knock on wood).  ::)
