Update - @KarenMillen just sent me two transaction notes, which they claim shows they made the payment. The statements only reference two transactions and are over £400 short.
Awaiting refund - 6 weeks now.
So been waiting a month for a refund from @KarenMillen . I have a full list of payments and refunds (wedding outfit trying on, go figure), and they are still claiming to have paid out when it's not in my account. When I chase, no reply. JOY.
Update: Still waiting. They still think they've paid it. Ended up sending them a screenshot of my bank!! And @KarenMillen don't even have a phone number so instead I'm repeating myself to someone new ever 48 hours.

I could have cried.
When the AM first album came out in 2006, I spent my days listening to it in a boyfriends car (I wasn’t old enough to drive) before choosing Sheffield for my UCAS options and ditching said boyfriend to go and discover exactly why you’d go to High Green via Hillsborough.
Spending nights learning the bass lines from latest album with my housemates, arguing who had to play and who got to be Alex Turner 😂 discovering the AM album on VINYL and blowing my mind.
My therapist: I think you're crackers for doing more marathons!
Me: Well obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be here seeing you, would I?! 😜
Take this as intended - on both parts, if you can't laugh about it with your therapist than when can you!?
