I am so cross with Amazon.
I got a new Kindle & there was a thing about getting 3 months free kindle unlimited.
Not for me though as I have had a previous free trial.
In the well & truely hidden terms & conditions.
Was like speaking to a brick wall.
Added to which a parcel from Amazon is lost.
As it was bought from a third party seller they are currently not interested. Bah,bah, bah.

Things are mostly resolved now.teafor2 said:Hi Beanie
Just catching up .... again 
Lately, there are some days when I don't even turn the laptop on what with one thing and another. Sorry to hear that you fell and about the falling out with DS and his GF. Hope whatever it was about resolves itself very soon. Lovely that your Mum stayed for tea. Being able to do the small but 'normal' things makes such a difference doesn't it. xx
I think things are quite fraught now for us all & we probaly are all over reacting to things.
Looks like they are moving really soon!! xx
Glad to hear it. I don't mind a family argument if things are resolved there and then but I hate things that drag on. Exciting that they will be moving soon. Will they be nearer to you? xx6 -

Glad things are being resolved with DS. I’m sure you’re not the only family worn down by lockdown. Could you sign up for a free trial of Amazon Prime as some books are included with that and a lot are only 99p?I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

Really pleased to read things are mostly resolved with DS and GF. I agree that lockdown has made us all more sensitive and can cause us to over react. A hug would solve a lots of things and isn't happening. Hoping for fewer/no falls for you this week. 🤞5

Grrrr to Amazon
Pleased family issues are resolved .... it’s such difficult times at the mo.
hope it’s sunny there and you can relax and enjoy the weather xAs a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
Fake it, to you Make It
