It's 4am. I've had my meds. I should sleep. I think I'm tired enough to. But I have a parcel arriving in the morning and I may not hear the postie. So I'm thinking I should wait til then. But also I'm supposed to meet my keyworker this afternoon and if I go to bed after 10am then I might not be awake for that either.

Stupid meds.

I thought meds were meant to help you sleep? No, mine don’t either 😂
 
Sigh. Either that parcel's gonna turn up late today, or it'll be tomorrow. All that effort for nout, lol.
 
Its day 3 of week 4 of the bus strike. My legs ache from all the extra walking I'm doing. Apparently I don't walk like I have ages to wait for the bus, I walk like I have an appointment I'm already late for.
 
Furious.

Set the sky box to record this weeks programmes as normal on Sunday. BBC have messed Sewing Bee around because of tennis and put it on BBC2. I didn't know this because have only just sat down, my sky box didn't know this either and I've now missed half of the sewing bee final. Thanks BBC, next time move the tennis!
 
Do you have access to iplayer @Sar? I had to watch the 5th episode of Sherwood on iplayer as the BBC moved it to BBC 2 and my recorder didn't know it and taped the tennis instead.
 
I've put the goblins to bed, come back downstairs, and realised I forgot to check their room thermometer. :doh:
 
Time wasters. I'm selling an item on Facebook Marketplace. Someone messaged today and was keen to negotiate. After a little back and forth I dropped a little lower than I really wanted to, but hey at least it's sold. Buyer says they'll come at 6...suprise suprise they haven't turned up. And they haven't replied to my nudge either. 🤦

How annoying! Perhaps give them a couple days. If they don’t reply then refund them (if they already paid) and put up for sale again.

That’s really annoying.
 
They haven't paid anything, it'll be cash on collection so no issues there.

I don't mind being a bit flexible and hanging onto items for a few days if they let me know. But being stood up is frustrating.

I had another chap offer to buy it at asking price. He set a date and no showed. But at least replied to me asking if he was still interested. And then he no showed on the second date 🤦

So I'm 0/2 right now. Boo!
 
Sorry. Very annoying. I would put it up again and see if someone shows a proper interest and actually buys it. If they complain you can remind them they went quiet and didn’t answer you.

I’ve been there. It’s very difficult.

Sorry. Thermal gloves and hand warmers?

I've got fingerless work gloves on at the moment, but even being fingerless they can restrict the movement of your fingers. I'd switch the heating on for a bit but I'm loathe to, it's over 20C in the pigs room as it is. Might have to do it anyway though.

Skinny pig in each hand? They don't half give off heat, but you might have to bribe them with food/replenish the extra calories you are stealing! I'm sure they'd take that hit for the team if the room temp is 20 degrees :)

I think I'm too cold even for them lol. I generally try to keep their room between 19-21C, it's just unfortunate that downstairs is that much colder than upstairs. I've got my left hand back to normal but my right hand is being difficult, I'm almost tempted to just boil a kettle and wrap my hands round a mug of hot water, but I'm clumsy and likely to spill it everywhere too.

Hand circulation problems are awful, I totally get it because I have carpal tunnel on the thumb side of my hand, and a weird thing where I sleep funny on a nerve in my neck which makes the little finger side of my hand numb, plus bad circulation in my lower arms, which altogether makes my hands numb but swollen up like hot fat sausages with no feeling in for 2 hours after I wake up, or if I wash up or rake a hot shower the heat stays in my hands and... its like fat boiled sausage fingers I cant feel lol! Some days I just drop mugs, cant hold a pen, chop straight through my hand trying to wield a knife and chop veg... cant tell if hot water is hot or cold... bloody stupid hands lol x

I've dropped so many batteries this last couple of days, was taking out a coil from my e-cig to clean it yesterday and managed to ping it across the room instead. Still haven't found it. The batteries annoy me more than the coil - I have enough coils. I don't have enough spare batteries, lol, and it's not like I can walk into Tesco and buy more.

Edit: good grief. Heating was on for an hour. Heating just switched itself off. My hand just came back to life. WHY. HOW.

Son No 3 starts his apprenticeship next month. He was led to believe that his accommodation sorted from 1st August. He's received an email this afternoon saying that he couldn't actually move in until 9th September! With just about 4 weeks notice, where the Hell is he going to find to live for just 6 weeks?!?!?
 
I put my glasses down to make it easier for me to see what I was doing with the LFT. Then couldn't find my glasses again once I'd done the important bits lol.

That is definitely a massive pain - someone somewhere not doing their job properly 🤐

When my hubby needed a room for a couple of months, he found a website where you could match people with spare rooms. I'll see if he remembers what it was called (it was 2005 - that website may no longer exist, but there are surely others..)

Whereabouts will your son be living/doing his apprenticeship?

Roundabout central! I hope he finds somewhere. Airbnb? My husbands boss, used Airbnb while looking for a property to rent. He had to move a couple of times, but I am sure some would be happy for someone to stay a little longer.
P.S Will be looking into security, no visiting for piggy napping allowed! 🤣
 
We are currently looking at airbnb. My son has emailed them back saying he was unaware that alternative accommodation was not available for the 6 weeks. He has looked back through all his emails and nothing was mentioned.
