    I did it earlier ;) Gorgeous looking doggie :D



    Argh, what a lovely thing to say Tigerwhite :o:o Thank you

    I am doing ok. Have the few moments when tears come, generally when I am walking the dogs actually - Alan used to do all the dog walking for the past 5 years :( And when I ring people up to do with paperwork and they say things like 'is there any reason why the phone hasn't been used recently' when I ring up to try to cancel Mr 3Dogs' mobile phone contract having already told them why I wanted to cancel. That is anger and tears :mad: :( Actually, I can't cancel the contract, as both our mobiles are in my name, though, when I asked if they couldn't help me out in the circumstances, they offered to reduce the monthly payment ........ which turned out to be by £2 ..... generous eh? I told them to stuff their 'kind' offer and I am going to email 3 as I shoudl get a better response that talking to an call centre on the indian sub-continent ;)

    I had a problem with my bill with vodaphone after cancelling my contract, they were being unco-operative...I sent them an email saying how would they like me to cancel my final DD and I would be contacting OFCOM.....they soon back tracked....

    don't talk to Mumbai..send them an email!;)

    Woo Hoo .......................... the van started today after another overnight charge :j :j I left it running for about 45 minutes after starting it to make sure it was ok. Later, after blowing up the tyre on the van again :(, I went along to the tyre place neighbour recommended to find that they wouldn't remove the tyres from the rims I had and fit them on the van, as they couldn't guarantee the work :eek: and when they checked tyres on the van, they said the front drivers one was right on the limit and I had a mixture of different size tyres :eek: :eek:

    Cut a long story short, it cost me £142 for two new tyres and they switched them around so the two new ones were on the front. Not too bad though as I thought that I'd definitely need a new battery at about £80/£90 but when they checked it, they said it was ok, just, with standing for so long, it needed a good run

    So, not a very :money: day for me, but the van is safe to use and roadworthy again, and that's what matters at the moment :D

    Lady from The Pension Service has just been and we completed forms to see if Alan was still due any G/Pension Credit from 12/3 to 3/7. If there is any due it will be paid into my bank account, but I am not sure there will be any to come. Will wait and see, as I would like to be pleasantly surprised ;)

    Lovely sunny day today - good drying day so I washed the throws off the sofa & chairs :j

    I'm hoping to get one tomorrow from T's. I'm planning on using £7 off wys £50 and £4 off wys £40, along with O/H staff discount and then double up ccv to pay for the rest. I wonder if I'll get away with it, :D

    Can't see why it wouldn't work - would love it if my OH worked for T's - a man on the inside. Let us know how you get on xxxx

    That's dreadful, I would contact some sort of ombudsman over that, basically they are penalising you for losing a loved one, which is despicable :mad:

    I would call again and ask to speak to a manager or write a scathing letter or e-mail, how awful for you to be asked again as well, have a (((((hug))))) xxxx
