Hopefully today's snow is winter's last hurrah in Finland. I'm reliably informed though that it's April in Scotland too, but the Highlands have had heavy snow today and some high level roads are blocked :eek::san:

Thanks for the wishes, but they're actually predicting that this weather will continue through the whole week! I just put my snowboard to the storage and was planning to get my bike out, it seems that I was rushing things... :td:
 
yargh.

So the council owes me money, they've admitted to this, but I've finally found the online copy of my council tax history and it's a bloody mess, to put it politely. There's no explanation for any of the numbers, there's no record of the actual amount owed back, there's 3 years of correspondence and invoices missing. And I'm even more annoyed because I kept trying to explain this absolute mess to someone who might have been able to help and apparently I'm "not explaining it very well".

And I end up doubting myself because I don't know what part I'm trying to explain doesn't make sense. The council's crap doesn't make sense, yes, but they didn't have a problem with what the council were saying, but with what I was saying. Then they said that there were probably other numbers missing off the screenshot that would help and I'm just done. Why would your first assumption be that I didn't bring all the information, rather than there was no more information for me to give?!

I don't want a cigarette but I would quite like to punch something solid. Just...argh. I don't know, I really don't.
 
There's nothing quite like waking up at 9.30 and discovering it's 16C in the pigs room because you only had the hot water on and not the central heating. :doh:
 
I was refilling the guinea pigs' pellets into a smaller container as I am not going to serve them out of the 25 pound bag that I buy for them. There was just a small bit left so I was trying to carefully pour it in. My three year old child (not guinea pig) decided to help me pour the pellets out a bit faster and made a mess on the floor. Not too much, but then my child started to EAT PELLETS. I cannot get this child to eat much variety let alone try a new food. But guinea pig pellets, apparently they are delicious.

I'm starting to suspect that he has been doing this for awhile too. I have caught him reaching into the piggies' house to play with their food. Now, if only the guinea pigs could teach him to eat some of their veggies.... :hmm::ple:
 
We had a good run but unfortunately COVID-19 has entered our household at last. Thankfully we're both fully vaccinated and boosted, and we're doing alright.

My birthing unit got in contact this morning to advise that I start blood thinning injections. They've written up a prescription for us to... collect. :doh: Collection is the only option. I'm not sure they've thought that one through...
 
Need to see a Dr but couldn't see one for 4 weeks! Have just filled out the econsult form online which wasn't easy to find on the Practice website. It's as if you're not allowed to be ill atm!

It's not bad enough for A&E and atm they are seeing EMERGENCY life threatening cases only as there are no hospital beds and every hospital is on emergency measures cos of Covid.

The surgery I used to work for as admin has been trying unsuccessfully for months to recruit to replace two GPs. The hours everyone worked were daft even when I was there; I'm not sure how they're getting anything done now. I doubt it's any consolation for you but it was incredibly frustrating on the other side of the desk, too.

I hope the e-consult form gets you something more quickly - don't be afraid to be a squeaky wheel. Does your surgery operate any kind of Duty Doctor system to help triage any urgent but not quite A&E concerns?
 
I tried to register to be able to use our surgeries on line facilities. 2 hours later I gave up, we are not allowed to go there to make appointments and they don't answer the phone, a wonderful way to disband the NHS by the back door?

If its an Emergency you can phone at 8am and you'll be seen but only if your call gets answered and you can get through!

Fantastic news! I'm sorry the path to the e-consult form was opaque but I'm so glad it worked. Fingers crossed all is well and that you're feeling better soon 🤞
 
Thanks everyone! So do I. It's a bit worrying that they said that I needed an urgent examination.

The quicker you are seen the better. Getting in tomorrow morning means you have less time to worry. Good luck.

Hope it’s nothing serious and you feel better soon x
 
ANTS! Found two last night thinking it was no big deal I put them out. Counted 12 on the wall in the bathroom today, in the sink, all over my stuff…. Ants! I’m against killing and harming anything but my fiancé is going to spray them, I can’t carry out this many especially when more keep appearing :(
 
Betsy said:
Well not really no. I'm a bit down tbh. I could do with a drink but I have a blood test in a couple of days so can't have one.

I don't like killing anything but with ants you just have to. It takes a few days but it works.
