So after what has already been a shitty month after finding out there was no job in Atlanta after having already been given a contract stating that there was it seems that while I was in London today my phone was stolen. The phone I've only had for a week and that I bought for myself as a treat for not actually getting that job. And coupled with that I missed my train home and had to fork out nearly £100 to get back.

I'm starting to think I'm being punished.

I happily tell people I've been offered a promotion and am moving to the US. The job offer gets taken back.

I happily tell people I've bought a new phone. It gets stolen.

I happily tell people I sold my old phone for £170 which is nearly the full amount that I paid for the new handset. I miss my train and have to spend nearly all of that money on a ticket home.

I happily tell people I am going to Dallas con for my birthday so that I finally get to meet Sebastian. I don't even know if I can afford to go now as I'm going to have to pay the insurance excess to get a replacement phone.

All of this has happened in the past two weeks.

I just give up.

Oh, that's really crap. There's not a lot to say other than sending you hugs and shaking my fist at the universe.

It never rains but it pours, hon. *HUGEHUGS* It's so hard when bad things happen all at once. I'm so sorry.

Let me know if there's anything at all I can do.

Really sorry about that Hills! I was the last to leave and don't remember seeing a phone left on the table but as there were only four of us we'd kind of squashed up on the end.

There wasn't long to go though before the pub closed, so if it was still on the table the bar staff might have picked it up. Might be worth calling them anyway, I don't mind going to collect it for you if they do have it but don't want to go to the effort of posting it to York.

Bugger!! I know it's no consolation, but I've had similar suckiness and am just turning the corner and it does feel great to come out ahead for once. Hope that happens for you soon!!

Not being punished, hon, life is just shit sometimes. I hope things look up for you soon. *hugs*

Oh no!! That really really sucks! I would definitely try calling the pub if you haven't yet. I left my purse sitting at the counter of a pub once and they held it for me until I came to pick it up. Hope you manage to find it! *hugs*

Oh hon, I didn't realise you missed your train AS WELL *HUGS TIGHT* That really sucks!!!

Don't you dare let this make you miss Seb in Dallas. We will search for your phone - I'll drag Caroline and Jen back to the pub if I have to! And maybe we'll set up a fundraising something to get you to Dallas :p

Aw. Just *have some more hugs*

Thanks! I called the pub this morning and they don't have it. I have a locator installed on the phone which has been disabled and the phone has been off since I noticed it was gone. I think it pretty evident by now that someone took it. I've just reported it as stolen.

Yeah, I called them last night and again this morning. They don't have it :(

Thanks Sarah. I called them last night and again this morning and they don't have it. I'm almost certain I put it in my bag when I left so I can only assume someone swiped it somewhere between leaving the pub and getting to Kings Cross.

Have reported it to the police now.
