Gave her a RTC baby towelling blanket before she left and some Lindt chocs for Mum. Super generous, me

What a cutie. She is gorgeous...is she named after you?:)

Evening paw sniffers

Just been doing our 6 monthly meter readings.

We are down 11% on gas usage but 5% up on electric for the year like on like.

Our usage is split 87% gas and 13% electric so I'm very happy that we have a decent reduction in gas used.

The major reason for this is that we have stopped having baths daily and now have showers. We only have a bath once a week now:o:)

I'm racking my brains to work out why we are spending more on electric:think:

Hmmm

Is your shower electric?

No it's not QoC but think I've sussed it. Think it's DH cutting wood for the log burner using a chop saw

She is a little looker isn't she?

Poor thing has colic and she'd had a day full of relations so she screamed the house down for much of the visit. We got some good cuddles though and I made her laugh a lot. I really enjoy babies most of the time (why I was a nanny I guess). Especially their little heads. Love the smell and giving them a little stroke. Guess that sounds weird :rotfl:

I don't know where the name Megan came from but it wasn't from me sadly.

Really needed dry weekend and so it was! My car is leaking from somewhere and the back seat has been soaked through all week, so its had the boot emptied, carpets removed, and sitting in the drive with all doors open. Still not dry enough to sit on, but at least the seat is no longer dripping wet. Think its seal round the back lights from research on web....

Bird table in the backgarden has been a hive of activity. Wagtails for the first time, and a solitary coaltit. Now seem to have 7 bluetits regularly visiting all at the same time. Also a greater spotted woodpecker briefly had a look. But OH seems to spend more on food for the birds than I do for all of us...:rotfl:

Burgers worked. Visited a pet shop for cat food, but it was shut :rotfl:

do you have a sun roof in your car? i was told recently at a garage that they have drains in them that sometimes get blocked, just need to work out how to do it myself to save paying out for a garage to do it :rotfl:

Didn't know that :eek: My DD had a very leaky sunroof, doubt it was the drain though. She never used the sunroof so we put bath sealant round it and it no longer leaks

Evening. Was beautiful and sunny today. I hope everyone had some respite from the bad weather.

Spend morning fuming at orange EE customer services. Where the conversation ended with him saying "his time was too important to speak to me ":mad::mad::mad:

You are being paid I said. I will contact head office and tell them how lovely you were and hung up. Letter written to head office.

Phone has rung four times from them, I keep missing it and 20 quid added. They owed me £30.

All this because they charge pay as you go I phone customers £5 a month to connect to free WiFi hotspots.


Orange EE customer service is disgusting. Now stick that in your google and smoke it !!!

Thoroughly agree BB, Orange Customer Services rubbish.
My sim only contract ended in December, I renewed it, pointing out that they had overcharged me £5 pm for the past year. They agreed to credit me with £60 and start a new contract. They then issued a new sim, then another. Several lengthy frustrating conversations later, after using the new sim cards as instructed I had to put in my old sim.
Each time I lost Service for a few days and when I went on holiday I had no service in Spain for a week, despite advising them beforehand. I checked my Account and found that I was being charged for two numbers, despite only ever having one. Then I found that my Bank Account had a £13 deduction, despite my Account being well in credit.
3 further calls to Orange CS and they couldn't work it out, each time promising to sort it out and call me back - they did neither. The last call was particularly lengthy and frustrating, they claimed to have no record of the Bank deduction and would not believe me. They told me to go to an Orange (now EE) store to prove it. A 35 mile round trip.
The EE store couldn't understand why I had been sent to them but said that they often do that to fob people off. Apparently the Stores only 'sell' and Orange are supposed to do the back-up. However I finally got the Manager of the Store and we contacted Orange CS (Stores have no direct line and have to wait in queues like we do!)
The Store Manager could see what was wrong but we had a really difficult job to get CS to understand, she was getting really frustrated too and it took 75 minutes on the phone to sort out. No offers of compensation or apologies, it was as if they were blaming me for their errors and eventually agreeing just to get rid of me. (I had previously threatened to leave and even been given a PUK code with no effort to keep my Account).
We then had to contact T Mobile, who I have never had any dealings with, as the £13 had been deducted by them. Apparently I had been ported over to them for two days unbeknown to me and had to get them to agree to refund the amount and cancel the agreement - that I had never made.


Sorry for the rant but I think Orange have by far the worst Customer Service I have ever known. Unfortunately they have the best (sometimes only) reception out here in the sticks.


Cheers,
ChelseaFred
