Weekly Flylady Thread 28th October 2013

I agree with SP being useless. My fix ends with them in 3 days and my switches are already hopefully in place. Plan is to do meter reads on 31st, check bill and DD match, correct any minor possible underpayment and wave a very happy goodbye.

Honeybear I think they have a rep on here. Create a new thread on the utilities board and hopefully hey will pick it up and sort it out.

Been shopping with all 3 boys. Loads of trees down the in the neighbouring town so several roundabouts closed causing traffic chaos.

Going to tidy up from lunch, unload WM and then refocus on stuff I need for DS3.

Hi all

I'm in as best I can, trying to do as much as possible in just three days, as Mr LW has Thursday & Friday off. He'd already booked Thursday for Samhain, but as he has to use up his remaining days by the end of the year or lose them, he's taking one of them on Friday, too.:o

Can anyone advise how to deal with Scottish Power? We've been hounded by them for weeks after going over to another supplier and last week they sent us a refund cheque together with a letter saying we don't owe them anything, after all. This morning they've sent us a Final Notice and told us they are going to instruct a Doorstep Collection Agent to visit us. It's just bizarre.

*Makes mental note, if we decide to switch at some point, avoid SP like the plague*. This sort of hassle would quite literally make me ill. I hope you can get it sorted satisfactorily, asap.

Thanks for the finding vibes. If I had pretty good hearing I wouldn't have spent £3k on hearing aids! I have different levels of loss depending on frequency - high sounds are not bad but low are terrible. On average I have 50% loss in my right ear and 75% in my left ear. I was still wearing the left aid so this ear was hearing 'perfectly'. It's amazing what you can still hear when you are partially deaf and it's amazing what you hear once your aids are in that you can't otherwise - I can only hear DD walking around upstairs with them in, it sounds like an elephant bumbling about. Without them - silence!

I'm the opposite - low frequencies are not too bad, but high are completely drowned out by my tinnitus; also, I don't hear consonants correctly, and often have to guess what's been said to me (with embarrassing results at times).:cool: Hope the errant aid turns up soon!:o

Mr LW will be moving the deceased microwave this evening, prior to disposing of it while he's off at the end of the week; I can then give the surface there a good scrub in preparation for Agr0s delivering the shiny new one tomorrow.:o He looked into getting it fixed, but it would have cost not much less than a new micro, and given the age of the thing, we decided to replace it and have done with.

If the Flylady Meet-up does go ahead tomorrow, have a great time everyone - I'm afraid a trip to Brum just isn't do-able for me; but if one happens in MK within mobility scooter distance of my place, I'll try and pluck up the courage to attend.;)

ETA Oh yes, I nearly forgot - Mr LW's getting his flu jab on Thursday, too; he gets offered one as he's my Carer.:o

Thank you Ionafan. Duly noted. OH reports $P 'really, really' have said the file is now closed Dusty but if there's another peep out of them, I'll see if I can find the rep on here.

Floors getting seen to.

Sorely tempted to suggest getting Mrs Dog to bite their bum for them.:D *Scurries out to kitchen to tackle large pile of washing up, which is in part due to lack of a microwave*.

well the first day of half term has seen me running hither and thither. I have succeeded in handing in a job application for someone, sourcing an excellent Halloween costume for DD2.... (but she's now in bed and on antibiotics - I'm hoping she'll be well enough to go to the party in Derby...) and have taken my bike to the repair place (not very MSE, but my right thumb is playing up and O/H can't help after his op).

Have spent day on tenterhooks - my sister took my mum to a couple of appointments at the hospital today - sadly the results of her bone scan weren't back so we are still in limbo.....

Hopefully mu should have a moving date soon...
