princess and the pauper

so here's an embarrasing story for the afternoon.
so basically we went to the local shopping centre this afternoon to go to the bank to organise bank accounts.
we transfered some money into the account and were told it would take 30min for it to come thru.
so we go downstairs and ari wanted to buy a toy kitchen for MM, as we go to pay the card wont work so we figure that it hasnt been 1/2 hr yet.
i cant use my westpac card here bc they've blocked it due to suspicious activities after ive used it a few times already here...

so we were gng to go to the supermarket meanwhile.

but MM had poo'd so I went up to the car to change his nappy and ari went back to the bank to confirm.
ari comes back to tell me that no it wont be 30 min but 24 hours!!
meanwhile we discover that MM had shoflifted a ball from the toystore so ari went to return it and get them to hold our purchases.
on his way back he went to pay for the parking only to discover that all he had in his wallet was 2Rand (abt 30cents) and parking was 5!!
so we were stranded in the carpark until Levi could come and rescue us to bring us the rest of the money!!!
so here we are with not even $1 accesible to our name!!!!
oh the joys of moving countries!
