Knit Your Square to Give Your Share - PART 4

Hi all. I had no power for most of yesterday while electrical work was being carried out then, as soon as I had logged on to the internet, we had a huge thunderstorm, so I had to unplug the Livebox - it was not my day for communicating yesterday! As an added irritation, the tanking solution I had ordered from the UK (which we needed a few days ago!) has still not arrived, despite parcel tracking telling me that it is in the depot in Poitiers (just about half an hour or so away). I managed to contact online assistance yesterday and they promised to email me but, of course, I heard nothing. I've just spent another half an hour on online assistance and am still waiting for the email. Having spent £90 on the tanking solution, and a further £23 on shipping, it's starting to wind me up.

Anyway, rant over. On the plus side, I needed a Certificate of Conformity for my car as the final bit to it becoming French registered - it usually costs at least £100 (DH's Ford van cost £120!). I wrote to BMW (my car is 14 years old and still going strong) and they emailed me as soon as they got my letter to say the certificate is on the way, in French to make it easier for me, and no charge! What a brilliant result - it arrived yesterday so they got on with it as soon as they had received my initial letter. I was so impressed I had to email them back to thank them, for which they thanked me! Anyway, as you can imagine, I am delighted.

I managed to get a bit more done on my throw and hope to finish that later on today. Meanwhile, I have to move my desk and PC (again!) so that DH can start plastering.

Pippa - I hope your MIL is feeling a lot better now.

ISOM - hope you Mum can come home today.

Shez - (((hugs))) to your Mum.

Jean and DPixie - you'll remember that I was promised instructions to get my Livebox re-activated the next time it goes down. What they sent me is the initial letter you get when you first sign up; it's headed 'Vos identifiants de connexion' and shows all the details unique to you which you obviously tap in to reactivate the box. Hope this helps. If they send me anything else, I will let you know.

By the way, haven't heard from Jean for ages now, unless I have missed a recent post? Hope you are OK, Jean.

Hope you all have a great day - it's raining and very dull here but, apparently, is meant to be getting better from tomorrow.

Thanks for that, Jaqui. I must confess that I'd rather do the little hats that any of other things! They're easy to pick up and put down, and use such tiny scraps of wool that they are a great way to use up all the oddments. Once you've done just a couple, you don't have to keep referring to the pattern!
