Just popping on before I go to bed to send my thoughts and love to Bossymoo and the little moos. I have been thinking of you all, and I have a lovely yankee candle jar, that I bought today, burning for you all.

Now off to bed to read one of my new library books

This is NOT good enough. Send them a LETTER BEFORE ACTION demanding an immediate refund of the overpaid monies they removed from your account AND the costs of going overdrawn (save evidence eg statement) as proof just in case PLUS cost of phone calls; you should NOT be out of pocket because of Bissell's incompetence.

Thanks Valli. They have been sent a letter which details all of the things for which I expect recompense, most of which you have listed above. I'm in two minds about charging them for the saucepan I burnt the chicken stock in yesterday (it boiled dry!) because I was so upset about the whole thing. It's really affected my concentration, so I've wasted a couple of days as well.


Amazingly, they haven't shown the slightest interest in the fact that having decluttered over £900 from my bank account without permission I might be short of money. I can't think of anyone I know who could just ... do without that amount of money, for over a week and the best they can do is assure me that the funds 'will be cleared either today or tomorrow so should be in your account shortly.' Maybe they think that another four or five days until the funds are paid over and then cleared in my account, on top of the eight days they've had the money so far, is okay.


Just goes to show, doesn't it, how much they must all be overpaid not to have the slightest awareness of the hardship they've caused.

Morning all, managed to get the front hall and livingroom done yesterday. Looks lovely this morning, wonder how long it will last for?

Hoping to get the back hall, utility room done aswell as the car cleaned out. I'd love to get the guttering done too if it's not too windy. Then i could get the powerhosing done on friday.

Right best get the boys up...

Morning all

Bit late in joining in this week but I have been working away. I spent Monday tidying up the entire house, all those hotspots are now gone (unless they've been added to since) and I spent yesterday decluttering duplicate photos on my laptop. Still 10,000+ to sort through :eek:

Today is a paid work day, and for a change I am organised and just waiting on the delivery to arrive. Then once I've sorted that out I need to go to Mr A for paper after not-so-DD has used most of the pack for her homework! There are a few loose ones here and there, but none usable in the printer which is what I need them for :mad:

Off to get brekkie then I'll get on with work as I think I can hear the van outside now!

Monday - kitchen and hallway
Level Two
Sweep and mop the floor
Clean a window
Level three

Sounds fine to me - but if you're giving biscuits/choc to the staff - don't wait until the end of term to do it! Giving them a couple of weeks early lets everyone enjoy them - and means you're not rushing about at the end of term like everyone else!
