Thanks! It's just so stressful. No wonder the wine comes out most nights! Usually it's just Fridays and Saturdays! :beer:

Yes, I can imagine! You would think people would just want to get settled in! No accounting for folk?

Petty people with their power trips in my experience with house selling/buying chains.. No real chain on my partner buying this house, but his buyers solicitors, his solicitors and the person we were buying from solicitors...were bloody outrageous! Everything was last minute bunkum..that is new!

Just waiting for our Sky man to turn up. Last Wednesday we had a planned powercut from 9.00 to 3.00pm. When we put the TV back on to watch Pointless the sky menu was scrabbled. We spent half the evening trying to sort it out, rebooting etc, then spent 1 hour on the phone to Sky. The conclusion was the skybox has blown, caused by a power serge! After reading the small print at the bottom of the letter, it does say unplug all sensitive equipment such as sky etc.
Why on earth don’t they put that in the main body of the letter and underline it, embolden it, large text! Infuriating! We haven’t all day to sit reading the small print! 🤬

Probablt so they can charge for a new box. That's why I like virgin. But my area doesn't have it. They replace everything free

When you think you are moving house in 4 days time and you and all the people in the chain agree the date. Then the person at the bottom of the chain throws a spanner in the works and it looks very much like you won't be moving at all! We agreed on a price for our house at the end May/beginning June and thought that we were moving by end August....... Nope we are still here in the same house we have been in for the last 29+ years. We have issued our buyers with a ultimatum that they Exchange in the next couple of days or our house is going back on the Market. The person at the bottom of the chain is a personal friend of theirs and so they are more than happy to wait for him to get his arse in gear. We, however, are not. They need to have words with their buyer. We have to move.

You have my total sympathy @Betsy !
We are having fun and games (not!) with our chain and especially our buyer. Our exchange is being held up by 2 issues relating to sewerage and land use on the property we're buying - we are happy that everything is ok, but our solicitor is being very zealous and very confused about the land use issue, so sorting them is holding things up. Then on Friday our buyer emailed our agent saying he was concerned about timings because he'd said he needed 3 weeks exchange to completion (first any one else had heard of that) and he is away at the start of November. He thought discussions round dates were premature as legalities weren't yet sorted ... But he was the person who first set a date - at the end of July - and then his partner suddenly said 10 days ago that she wanted it to be a week earlier ! And he added things about dates,costs etc making the transaction seem less desirable, and his interest in another 'desirable' property. :rant::cen:

If it wasn't for the fact that I'm desperate to move, the market is terrible, and I don't want to wait 4 years more, I'd tell him where to get off ....

The OH loves his Sky Sport and we are limited to provider down here. It’s all sorted now thank goodness, just wish WesternPower could pay the bill, you wish 😆
 
Have lost another piece of jewelry ☹ this time my amber necklace that was a Christmas present last year. I got an amber ring when we were out shopping one day, and then was bought the necklace as a Christmas surprise. It was with the ring and I last wore the necklace and ring together so I'm puzzled and upset. Have looked everywhere for it, hope it turns up tomorrow.

Feeling rubbish at minute so feel really rubbish now.

I hope you find it soon x
 
Phone fell out my pocket... landed screen down on concrete

Cracked phone for me now, grr
 
My rant for the day is that I have an awful flu type bug and blocked sinuses, and its cage clean day... whenever I bend down it feels like my head will explode and there's a loooot of bending down to clean a combined floor space of 34sqft in 2 floor level C&C cages! Luckily piggy daddy has taken over doing the 2nd cage and brought prosecco to cheer me up though :)
 
Do you think your Piggy Daddy and teach my Piggy Daddy to bring me some Prosecco?

My Piggy Daddy has been forgiven as it is our Wedding Anniversary tomorrow (32 years :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: ) and he is taking me out for a meal at my fave Italian Restaurant on Poole Quay. :)
 
It’s not badly cracked, and I think it’s just the screen protector
I just hate seeing the cracks in front of everything

I chucked my samsung galaxy s6 on the floor and it cracked badly. It was when something was wrong with Dot and I was in a mood ages ago lol. I miss the Nokia days

Our little husboar Theo thinks he might start running training courses for piggy daddies, he's trained ours very well and he thinks there's definitely a gap in the market! A key point of emphasis is, never let a piggy daddy enter the house without piggy veg snacks and either wine or chocolates, whichever their piggy mummy prefers :)

Also happy wedding anniversary! 32 years is a tremendous achievement, we've been married for 10 and that's plenty in my opinion lol :)
 
My rant for today is how so many people just don't care or arent willing to go slightly out of their way to help someone, human or animal. We drove past a field today, must be 5ft from the road? A pedestrian path width from road to the wall of the field. As we go past I spot a poor sheep stuck on her back, feet in the air. We werent able to stop as it wasnt safe to do so but there were plenty of other people stopped at the lights who could have pulled over, pedestrians walking past...not one person stopped to roll her back over. Sheep die on their backs as the grass in their stomach starts to ferment, causing gas which presses on the other internal organs and they suffocate at worst, at best the poor thing was probably going into shock. Even if someone doesn't know that, a sheep on it's back, legs rigid and in the air is clearly not having a good time :(

Anyway, I got onto the local facebook page to find the owner of the flock and through the grapevine about an hour later her owner was contacted and she was found. But I can't believe the amount of people who didn't do anything at the time who could have!
 
Getting up at 5 and getting home from work for 7. Muck all animals out, feed, fresh water, shower for me, dinner late, then bed. What a life. Comes in phases, hopefully it's over soon
 
Blah. Been feeling slightly “off” (headaches, sniffles, sore throat, tired, sometimes coughing) for two weeks now. None of the symptoms have been really bad, but it’s just annoying at this point.

I’m sorry to hear that @Sophie B :( I once dropped my old phone and cracked the screen. Cost £40 for a new screen :(

My rant for the day is when it’s freezing cold and hub won’t let me put the heating on until November 🤬

:eek: I think if my OH did that, we'd be divorced by now! I feel the cold, but he doesn't because he's so well upholstered.
 
When OH asks you to sort out the Services (gas, electric, water) at your new house and you are doing it and he tells you you have done it wrong, (even though you haven't - it's not exactly difficult!) you didn't want to do it in the first place, knew he really wanted to do it and then does it himself anyway!

Personally I would shut him in the garage and bring the piggies in instead, then open some wine :)
 
Not quite a rant but... I have a fever and the central heating is cooking me alive and drying out my sore throat and making me cough and wheeze... but I have a precious skinny pig who needs to be kept warm! I want to open all the windows and breathe... but my hippo needs to be kept warm... its only 10 degrees outside! Maybe I just sleep in the bath with my head out the bathroom window?

Sorry ☹️ Could you have a lukewarm/cool wash down? Painkillers and cold water nearby. Hope you’re over the worst soon.

Just had a coolish shower to try humidify my lungs a bit, going to take some ibuprofen at bedtime! My house is unfortunately very open plan so I cant keep Tallulah-oollah warm and myself cool unless I break out the snugglesafes and cover the cage with a blanket... and all these things are on the top shelf of the wardrobe and involve climbing on a rickety chair! Hopefully piggy daddy will finish work and help me soon :)
 
Wet some towels and wring them out. Then you can put them under the bedsheet and lie on them. That could work. Sorry you’re suffering! The things we do for our piggies. ❣️
