Letting herself in is not on! Hopefully you not being so instantly available will make her realise how selfish she is being. It is hard though, you don't want to completely lose her (maybe you do!) just make her think and be less selfish.
 
Oh gosh Eileen that’s not friendly behaviour from your ‘ friend ’ - I think she’s controlling your friendship so it suits her but she is not considering you. It would be worth writing down the pros and cons of your friendship. It would allow you to see this friendship a bit more clearly.
I’m sensing she is using you - it’s really not on that she lets herself into your home - your safe place. If you can’t ask for the keys back or you think she’ll make excuses not to give you the keys …then I’d consider getting the locks changed.
Sadly most of us have had a toxic friend and sometimes we don’t realise they are. I had a friend that was quite controlling - the sort of friend that brings gifts of cakes/ chocolates when I’d said I was trying to avoid those foods….😬
 
My phone is 5 years old, getting to the point where I have no space/memory left to update apps or anything. I've dragged it out for a few months by backing up and deleting photos and videos etc but not sure how much longer will be able to do this. Anyone recommed a decent samsung phone? I only use youtube, whatsapp, messenger and freeprints on it (apps wise anyway).

Of course now I'm trying to do my regular back up and delete session my laptop is not playing ball and needs its weekly, annoying scan.

This is my problem too! I have the Samsung S10 Lite which has 128gb (got it in 2020). I have deleted all my games apps, my travel apps (like expedia, skyscanner, etc) and is constantly transferring my photos and videos to One Drive. My contract would end Feb 2023 and hubby and I are planning to just get a sim contract. But I'm planning on buying Samsung Galaxy A53 5G 256gb (and also have a microsd slot) online by January to replace this phone. It will cost me around £320 more or less though.

Mine is a Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016 edition) and it will be 5 years in Dec I got it. I think for what I use it for its done well as I thought at the beginning of the year would be lucky to get to summer with it. I usually use things until they die but maybe no memory to use it for what I want is a valid reason! Time to research phones... and wonder if would be able to drag this one out til after Christmas!

OMG that does need sorting Lorcan ! Do you think the HA will ?

They'll have to, because the LA and/or the homeowner sure won't, and if by some miracle they did, they'd bill the HA for it saying I caused the damage, whatever it is, lol.
 
Mmm well those windows aren’t damaged just old and worn out and need replacing …..are you in a conservation area or could you have upvc double glazing ?
 
There's 5 houses on this street, and mine stands out, because I'm the one with single glazing, the ancient central heating system, fuse box and energy meters in the cellar, old/cracked rendering, and the paint peeling off the window sills and windows. The homeowner, from what I can gather (and thus by extension the LA) want the money for the rent, and are too tight to want to do any sort of maintenance or repairs. Maintenance for definite after that issue with the foul water pipe back in January, but there's the windows, the rendering, the painting, the central heating (and they wanted £110,000 for it too, /snort).
They also won't come round because my neighbours keep having a go at them every time they do for letting it get to the state that it is. I genuinely love my neighbours for it because not only is it well deserved but it keeps them from showing up out of nowhere. Once was quite enough of that.

(I genuinely love this place though please don't get me wrong)

After Rochdale council/HA have been in the news for unsafe living conditions.i believe you would have a good case for repairs and new windows.

Oh don't even get me started on RBH, they can claim it's because of the pandemic all they like, but my flat in Kirkholt lived with damp for nearly a year because RBH and St Vincents couldn't agree on whose responsibility it was to fix it :roll:
 
Royal Mail tracking has been down for a couple of weeks now! I have been trying to track my parcels and no tracking available. Checked online whether there are complaints about it and there are sooooooo many! 🤬🤬

Mine's working again after it was down last week, but when it was down last week their app was still getting accurate tracking info.
 
It's awful isn't it. A company I have brought from several times have stopped using royal mail in favour of evri now just on the basis of poor customer service, being unreliable and the amount of lost parcels! I mean that says something given evri get voted the worst delivery company year on year. That said I had a claim in with royal mail earlier this year as they lost Jessica's birth certificate and they sent me a cheque in my maiden name! I got married in 2018 and can't remember when I last had a claim in with them but they had clearly stored some of my data on their system for it to issue in my maiden name. Had to chase them on twitter to get it resolved as no one ever responded to me
 
Evri have managed to find my door on every occasion they've had to deliver to me now, so they're still better than DPD. I was kinda surprised with the last one because I was expecting it from Royal Mail but it turned up, on time, so I can't really complain. But it's not harder to be better than DPD, so 🤷‍♂️

(yes, yes I am still miffed at DPD)

The only one I can track is the one that was already added in my app that was sent on 4th Nov. to the Philippines. After that, all the ones that I try to track all shows me blank. I tried on my laptop to check on Royal Mail tracking website and still getting error.

Hmm. There's one I'm waiting on that I can track just fine, at Home Counties North mail centre, last update 7.37pm. I'd screenshot but I'd need to take the tracking number out first. The website's tracking it fine for me too.

Or you could overlap 2 grids, tie them with cable ties, and have a 2 x 5 and 2/3rds ?
Click to expand...
I did that too. I have 6.5 × 2 grids for my 3 piggies. Not that I really needed that big cage because they run freely in the living room. But whenever they have to be locked in, they have that big space still.
 
Sorry for the delayed response and thank you so much for the great ideas! I'm always so grateful for the support I've received here.

A 5x3 is too deep for the space for now unfortunately, and I'm not sure a half grid would work if it's on a C&C stand? I will definitely take a look at that option once I have some grids to play with, though, I could see that making a real difference to their living space 😊
