Grumble. I have to rewrap some batteries. It's too fecking hot to rewrap batteries.

Edit: Wrapped. it's still too warm to be using hot air guns, but damaged wraps on lithium batteries are not something to ignore. Too dangerous. Still too warm lol.

The email on my phone needs me to sign in again. I do this and it says that the password is incorrect. It isn't. I have double checked the password on my laptop. My laptop accepts the password. My phone will not. It's the same account with the same password. Usually I don't have to sign in, it just opens up on my phone but about once a year I have to sign in again. It's really annoying. My phone keeps on alerting me that I need to sign in on the email. I do that but it doesn't accept the password! Every 10 minutes my phone alert goes off not once but twice. It's driving me mad!

Try turning your phone off for a few minutes ….I find that can fix an irritating issue
 
I've changed the password on the phone end. I've successfully logged in on the laptop and I even have an email saying that I changed the password on my phone. Can I log in with the new password on my phone? I cannot! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
 
Your phone isn't adding an extra space somewhere in the password box, is it?
 
And it's definitely not a capitalisation issue? Sorry, sorta running through the usual options in my head.
 
No updates needed. Never had to do 2FA before and I haven't set it up for it either.
I kinda running out of options here....
 
I had an issue with my iPad that I couldn't log into account because there was a weird setting in fonts/keyboards that was causing one of the special characters in either the username or password to not be recognized. I don't remember whether it was a serif font or sans serif font, but whichever it was, it needed to be the opposite. So I guess I would say check if there's a font option you can fiddle with in your phone settings.

I just attempted to log in again onto my email. This time it accepted the password and my phone has been binging with emails. Thank you to everyone for their help in this.
 
Baby Poggle had his afternoon at nursery today. Beforehand he'd had a 20min nap (he's on one now) instead of 2hr so I said they could give him another 30mins before 4pm if needed. It's a risky move with Baby Poggle but also, I don't want him to be too tired to enjoy something that's supposed to be fun for him.

Here's the ranty bit: They let him sleep for well over an hour, waking him up at half 4.

My husband and I have been trying to get baby to sleep for the last 90mins and it is not going well. So, best case scenario now is that he's definitely not getting his usual 11.5hr sleep overnight because if I don't wake him up by 7 he won't nap, and worst case is that all this stress at bed time is going have him waking up multiple times overnight. Basically, I can't win - I will have an angry tired toddler to wrangle tomorrow and all I can do is hope that I will have had enough sleep to cope with it.

Still, it's better than the first time he napped there. That time, I arrived at 6pm and he was fast asleep. :doh:
 
@poggle hope baby poggle settles down for you soon. You probably know but nurseries generally have a sleep policy where if children need to/ or fall asleep they have to be left for an hour then disturbed. It's not nice on the other side either, where a child that has gone to sleep has a 'limit' on sleep and way past that time they are still snoring! Especually when you have tried everything to get that child up!

We got there in the end, fingers crossed he gets a lovely night's sleep so he doesn't have a miserable day tomorrow 🤞

I'm not aware of that policy in our nursery but then I wasn't aware of that as a thing in general - I did do drop off and handover with the same person, though, and she made no mention of any rules when she asked what kind of nap we could get away with if he did need. Quite happy to work within their policies but I can't if I don't know! I'll recheck our paperwork to make sure I haven't missed anything though, thanks for flagging :)

I would complain to them. They went against a parents wishes and that should not be acceptable
 
In my right hand jeans pocket is a torch, a hex key, and my front door key. So why have I been getting stabbed in the leg from that pocket half the evening? Hay. HAY. Why can't they eat soft hay like normal guinea pigs instead of the stuff that sneaks into my pocket to terrorise me.

My husband wants us to complain, but I just don't want to get anyone in trouble. We both agree that it's not acceptable though. At the very least, the next time I see the same lady I will explain what happened because he went over his nap; she's quite young so maybe doesn't have kids, and I certainly didn't fully appreciate how much a mistimed nap can screw up the next 24hr+ until I became a parent myself. (Imo sleep is the key decider in how much sleep I'm going to have at night and how much fun I'll have being a mum.)

We mostly got away with it overnight and today though 🤞
