Hmm I could try this. I've been looking at the A14 and it looks ok to me but not seen it in person yet. It will be an upgrade on mine. I'm in in the process of making sure I have a copy of everything I need on mine and its a bit sad really. My phone has been all over with me!

If you do get another Samsung, they have an app that enables you to transfer everything via Bluetooth (or similar) so you don't need to worry about manually copying your precious pictures etc.

The man in the shop asked if I would like help transferring everything and did it all for me.

However, I have no knowledge of my messenger password and apparently neither of my emails or phone number have a registered account. So I'm stumped!
 
Just had a call from the Solicitor's Secretary asking to speak to a Mr ......... Bottomsley. When I said that there was no Mr....... Bottomsley living here she asked to speak to a Mrs ....... Bottomsley, (meaning my MIL) I said there was no Mrs ........ Bottomsley living here either! I then said did you mean .... and then gave her my surname as she got the first names right. She replied "Just let me check the file" then she replied "Oh yes that's right I meant Mr ......" You'd have thought that she would have checked the file before phoning! I had no apology from her for getting my surname wrong either.

You really couldn't make it up!
 
Just done another round of emails to driving instructors.... not holding out much hope. I have no luck! I just keep thinking if I would have chosen better three years (!) ago when I was looking just after my provisional came back - it could be a different story now.
 
I’ve not had the best week. I’m feeling mentally a bit down in the dumps.
I struggle with winter, and it’s making my mood worse.
I have now got to start at 6AM on a few of my work shifts which has absolutely thrown a spanner in my works as that really does not sit well with me. Having to get up at 5am in the pitch black and freezing cold to feed the horses, let the chickens out(!), walk the dog and feed the pigs really does not work for me. I already struggle so much to wake up.
I’m tempted to get a new job..the other cafe down the road would love to have me..but I feel to guilty. But it’s my first 6am start tomorrow so I’ll see how I go for a few weeks.

I really feel like I’m letting my horses down at the moment. I’m trying to ride but I’m just rubbish.

My car battery died yesterday when I was about to leave for pottery class which made me just want to cry.
My sister had some absolutely terrible news about her good friend last week, he suddenly died in an accident and it’s just so upsetting knowing how much she must be hurting.

I feel quite lonely lately, I wish I had some horsey friends.
My one horse friend was meant to bring her horse over today for some fun but of course..as usual.. she didn’t come.

Everything’s going to be okay I know. I’m just a bit fed up.
Is it spring yet?

Sending you a hug Hannah. I too suffer with SAD. It’s good that you are aware of how you are feeling. Spring will be here before you know it. You’re not rubbish. You’re human. 😘
 
OH started cooking his breakfast porridge twice today, twice he has dashed off to answer a work phone call forgetting his porridge is cooking. Twice I have turned the heat off under the pan.

( I wouldn’t normally be here to save it, but perhaps I should have been glad, no burnt porridge pan or smell!)
 
Getting off lightly with a bee sting to be woken in the night by a nightmare. A large black thing was behind me biting my legs. I screamed so loud in my sleep I woke the neighbours both sides (oops) I could tell as there was lots of toilet flushing. I'll keep a low profile for a few days I think!

That would be very irritating. Are they impervious to hints about privacy, invitation only, etc?

Hubby never wants to create a fuss. Will be taking the opportunity when MIL comes over on Monday to make a comment about "is the doorbell not working?" Or some quip about just walking in to see if I can get the penny to drop

In law's have a key for emergencies. Have taken to just letting themselves in to our house without ringing the bell/knocking even when we are home!

I can understand how that would annoy you. My MIL lives two doors away and has been letting herself in unannounced for 25 years. She’s lovely though. So I don’t mind.

MIL is lovely (she just doesn't think before speaking most of the time, there's never any malice meant). I'm very much an introvert and love my private space so don't like people turning up unannounced let alone just letting themselves in

My husband's sister and her husband had this problem with her parents too. Brother-in-law put an end to it by removing most of his clothing wrapping himself in a towel and greeting her when she came by. He told her if she just waited a bit he and his wife would be done soon. She stopped coming by unannounced. :))
My mother-in-law is also a wonderful lady. I think people forget that their children grow up and live in their own house. It's not like you can just come in to their room like they did when they were small children.
 
@Hannah_xx I’m sorry you’re struggling so much. I don’t have any helpful advice I’m afraid. Perhaps you could get one of those day lamps and have it come on just before you wake. Or a radio station that could possibly help you wake up gently? Hugs

Nothing major compared to some here. Holidays started Friday but I’ve been unable to stay asleep past 7:30. Most days it’s been close to 6 that I’ve woken and not gone back to sleep. Even when I go to bed past midnight! And my sleep isn’t as restful as it used to be. Admittedly my mind is pretty busy but I think my body is also to blame! I hope this isn’t how it’ll be for the next 5 weeks or so…I’m off for a shower and to give the piggies their breakfast.
 
It’s not a big thing but I wish I could actually sleep past 7am! Yesterday is the only day I managed to stay eyes closed past 7. I was awake but not quite fully if that makes sense. Today I was up shortly before 6. I’ve kind of resigned myself to it but when I feel tired in the afternoon, I don’t enjoy the prospect as much!

Even though I was asleep before 11 the other night, I still woke early! Anyone have any tips? I don’t want to waste hours by having an afternoon nap, like I’m tempted to do now.

The only thing I can suggest is ear plugs and an eye mask.They help me as the light wakes me up in the morning coming through the curtains and and little noises wake me up.

I do have an eye mask but oddly it’s not the light that wakes me. I used to have an audiobook on (headphones) at sleep time. May try putting them on although I sometimes take them off in the night as they’re not entirely comfortable.
 
All week:
"Self, buy more hay."
"Yo, buy hay."
"The goblins need hay."
"Hey the goblins are at near the end of the box, they need hay."
"Buy. More. Hay."
"Wait what was I doi...crap, forgot the hay."

All week. Finally managed to get it done at half hour to midnight on a Saturday night. Yeesh.
 
I told my housemate we needed hay, and she ignored me last Sunday. All week she insisted we had enough (she didn’t even look). Thursday night the first guinea pig gave birth. Friday the second did. We ran out of hay Thursday at bedtime. Emergency run to the store! Tomorrow we WILL be buying more hay for the now 10 guinea pigs (expecting more as soon as tonight).
Oh yeah, I’m mad about that too. 3 pregnant girls, and also I “can’t” part with some of the babies.
