Made some shelves for the wardrobe.
Sorted clothes that I don’t need at the moment & put them in the loft.
Left the living room when the cat did a very smelly fart.

Went for a walk along the promenade and bumped into a couple of people I hadn’t seen some time.

Nice to see how optimistic and upbeat they were.

Fitted some door handles from scratch, who fits door handles & not the mechanisms?

Got a phone call at 6.45 from the doc, can we come today for our jabs as they’ve got spare capacity. So now, an hour later we’ve been jabbed and now back home again. Quick easy and painless in case anyone worries.

Bi-weekly admin day today. Hate it. Highlight is completion of Form FME1 Freehold Management Enquiries.

I have an almost irresistible desire to crank up the AV, put YouTube on and listen to Rock’n’Roll cover by Stevie Nicks while doing it but must resist.

must resist......

I’ve battled with the Virgin Media call centre with 2 phone calls today. I want to get a better price as they want to increase my bill from £29.50pm to £47.00. Yesterday I was kept holding on their infernal system for 15 minutes before I decided to hang up.
Today I got to speak to a human (just about) inside 12 minutes, and then struggled to make sense of her Indglish. To say she had a thick, impenetrable accent was being kind. I really struggled to make sense of what came out of her script. I couldn’t cope with it so I hung up.
I redialled and got through faster, I realised if I didn’t answer the computer and just let it go it meant a human would answer sooner.
he did. But once again another Indian I could barely speak to. I managed to get the price down to £40pm but I’m not happy. I really detest these sub-continent call centres with a vengeance.
the best call centre I’ve dealt with is Sky as they are based in Dundee I think.

q. Is £40pm for 100mbps broadband only a good deal?

Feck em right off.
Every ladyparts is trying to reclaw their money
back and blaming it on covid and furlough.
Gas & leccy is going up by £95 per annum
for the same reasons.
