My mom will be so proud

Remember that uneaten cheeseburger found in my handbag?
Well, when I told my mom the story, not only was she horrified that I fell asleep at Kings Cross, but she was visibly worried that I had picked the cheeseburger out of the trash or something.
Since I couldn’t remember buying it, she was convinced I had rummaged around for something to eat and hit the jackpot with an uneaten, wrapped cheeseburger. Because people throw those away all the time. And it’s so easy to find a trash can in London.
But she can rest easy. I checked my bank account yesterday and whaddya know…there is a charge for a lone cheeseburger.
Yes, I charged a cheeseburger to my card but most impressively, I remembered my PIN.

I somehow missed the first post as well, and it is too great for words. I am impressed you found 20p or whatever it is to get into the bathroom at Kings Cross!

That is fantastic. Not only getting home radar but also paying for things appropriately radar…kudos to you!

You bought a cheeseburger on a credit card? Seriously?

Yes I am very relieved that you actually bought the cheeseburger and didn’t score it out of a trashcan! If only you could tell me you didn’t REALLY sleep in the bathroom at King’s Cross station because you also found a receipt in your purse for a nice clean hotel room! I’d feel a LOT better! I know the bathroom at Kings Cross is actually pretty nice as public bathrooms go, but I hope you won’t have the need to use it again as a RESTroom!xo
