What is it with workmen and shoddy leak repair work? I'm tempted to yell at the letting agent again tomorrow morning at this rate except I know it'll get me nowhere.

I know, I was so annoyed with no water all day (so couldn’t even flush the loo!) watching them sit have a chat in their van, and disappear for an hour to have their lunch I’m guessing! :roll: Really hoped it’d get sorted today as it’s been going on since bloody July!
Really hope you get yours sorted! They’re so infuriating at times! 😡

I've just rung them again, and as soon as the call ended I went "you :rant:"
 
"He says it's fine to flush the toilet, he did it fine on Friday." You have to wonder how many times I have to mention the flooding happened on Saturday to these people. Sat. your. Day.

Oh and apparently they never got the email I sent them with the photos on Wednesday either. "I'll send you the correct email address, I must've given you the wrong one last time." Sent me a text message with the exact email address the previous one said. Yegads.

Oh and then the best bit. "He also said we needed to get someone out to jetwash to clear that blockage."

...I mean. :flag:
 
Oh, my mother.
"So Dad was saying you're getting guinea pigs again." "Yup. A pair of boars." "A pair of what?" "Bo..." "Oh, a pair of boys. Won't they fight?"

She met Comet and Blitzen. 🤷‍♂️
 
I'm babysitting the washing machine. It's the first time I've run it since the drains were unblocked and it had the excess toilet roll coming up through its outlet pipe. I don't know if there's toilet roll stuck in that pipe or even blocking it. I'm not really sure I want to be running it but I don't have much choice.

Aso the inspection cap outside is cracked so it's still leaking water everywhere lol.
 
I seem to be doing nothing but ranting atm lol. The council's being difficult, of course. I got a letter yesterday, dated 27th January, claiming I owe them £390 in council tax for the new address even though I'm 99% sure I've paid for this year at my old address. That's also the full amount, not taking anything into consideration like health, income, etc etc.

A second letter turned up this morning, dated 25th January, thanking me for my application for council tax relief and could I please provide them with proof of my entitlement for said relief.

Yesterday, I told myself it's fine, the supported housing project can sort that out. It's what they're there for.

Today, I'm lucky it's Saturday because all I want to do is ring them up and tell them they already have all this information and I'm paid up for the year, and they can shove their requests where the sun don't shine.

I do not like the council. Every year there's a problem related to my council tax and every year it's a problem they've caused. 😒

They rely of causing confusion so they then have to sort it out. Or else they would all be out of a job. Lol
 
My son and his cub scout pack had sold over $70,000 (no, I'm not kidding) worth of popcorn over their 3 month selling period last year. So they earned a party for them and their siblings to go to a trampoline/obstacle course park. That place....it was lit with flashing black lights, other flashing lights, really loud music, and lots of screaming. My head hurt so much and it still does. When I got home, I realized how much my ears were hurting too; all the way from my eardrum to my whole outer ear. Plus, I'm pretty positive we will get sick from this, but I could tell they really needed for their mental health to do something fun for them.

The children want to go back.... :eek: I will need to invest in ear plugs.

Has anyone else noticed that Morrisons cucumbers and romaine lettuces show signs of being frozen in transit? Every Morrisons I've been to in S Yorks has the same problem.

Yes the skin on my cucumbers are dark green and slightly mushy, suffering frost burn

The local Asda had decent cucumbers, Christina grabbed me one last Monday. But the building gives me anxiety, it's Tesco or nothing in my case :bal:
 
Eon next (yet again!)

Received Decembers bill a week into January - over £300! For four weeks of electric! Rang up to enquire and someone was dealing with it, they rang back at the times/days said they would and asked for a picture of the meter on the day of the reading to confirm/change the numbers we read and also a picture of that day for comparison. Rushed around emailing photos to myself, then to eon next - making sure all the info asked for was in the email and the subject line etc. Heard nothing since, assumed was pack of lies from this person and their promise to sort it.

Rings up again Weds to see what was happening as now have a reading from January to give in but still have an outstanding bill to pay. Person 2 didn't understand the numbers given, explained how person 1 wanted photos on an email which was sent but no acknowledgement or further contact. Person 2 says will speak to manager about it and look for my email containing all the information and ring back tomorrow.

So, person 2 rings back. Apparently now the manager has looked at it, the bill price from Decemeber has increased. Fuming is not the word to describe my rage and I did shout down the phone. Over £300 for four weeks electric is ridiculous when previously bills were in the £60 region each month, customer service is non existent, now my email with the photos/info cannot be found and if the manager thinks they can increase the bill randomly they can trot off too!

Person 2 is now dealing with it, nobody can explain why person 1 abandoned oir problem... we will see what happens next!
 
Argh. Just sat down to poop pick and the electric flickered off and on. The pc was running a game when it happened so I went to check on it and the electrics flickered again while it was dealing with the first time. Argh. Switched it off entirely now but if anything's wrong with it now I can't afford to replace it :no: I'd just been out for a smoke and the wind was calmer than it had been all day too.
 
Urgs I have been dealing with a huge ulcer on the side of my tongue for the last couple of days, it's incredibly painful, my tongue has swollen and it then pushes against my teeth 🙁 it's affecting my sleep but then so does the toddler. It is shrinking but not quick enough for my liking

Ouch. Painful. Have you got anything to put on it. How about teething gel? Hope it clears up soon.

I have some anbesol liquid in the cupboard from the little one teething. It completely numbs it so is getting me through the day. Now I understand why my daughter slept so much better when I popped some on her gums too 😂
 
I've lost my ashtray :td: I have two indoor ones that I keep purely because they're made from stone, but I've only been using a pocket ashtray since I moved. Has a screw top lid to stop smoke escaping and it means I can have my cigarette, put it in there, screw the cap back on, and come back inside straight away. It's really useful for being out and about (because there's never a bin handy when one's needed) and for being at home when it's raining.

Like it's raining tonight.

Sigh. This is bugging me. It can't have grown legs and walked but I swear, it's just not here.
 
Just had a rapid test come back positive for myself. My daughter is sick too with the same symptoms, but nobody wants to test her since a healthy person cannot take her in. I am not asking a healthy person to take my daughter in for a test. So, everyone has decided that she probably has covid too. Plus, we may get a whopper of a snow/ice storm this week. :flag:

Oh no. I hope you are both ok. Do you have family or friends close by that can buy you supplies?

Thank you! I just went shopping on Friday so we should be good till this Friday. I also like to be prepared so I have a full freezer and pantry so we can stay home for month and be fine. I can a lot of our food that we grow over the spring and summer to help keep our costs down and have a healthier meal too so that will help too. I do have family and friends near so if we get worse, I could always ask for help from one of them.
 
I realized that I can't taste or smell anything now. I could this morning, but it's gone now. It's kinda weird eating food and knowing what it should taste like but all I experience is textures. Losing my sense of smell is bad since I am potty training my youngest....

Hope your taste and smell come back quickly. Must be really strange. Good luck with the potty training 👍🏻
 
My son's school.........
It seems I'm always fighting to get answers.
Yesterday an email from his tutor told me as a parent I should consider sanctions and rewards, he's 15 how do they think I've got this far?!! The same tutor has had him for the last 3yrs almost and we have had many conversations about the same things. Her email came across as patronising, now I get an email from the head of year asking what I want from the meeting I've requested, fair enough but how many times do I have to ask for help, he's going to fail all of his GCSEs if we can't make him see where he currently is and how he is doing isn't enough. Why should it be so hard?
 
as much as i love coffee but it makes me awake everynight and i cant sleep properly :(
