  • Hi another casualty. It is all looking good for you :)
    May I ask? What dehumidifer did you buy in the end as I need one...
    Thanks :)

    Howdy DIA :)

    I got an Ebac 3000 series . Empty water once every night . It’s great, and very easy to understand and use
  • Thanks Another Casualty :)

    Maybe it is the time of the year but I am feeling reflective and thinking in another year I should be able to move house and be a little freer. You have inspired me in this respect I have to say although I'll probably still work 3 days a week

    The dehumidifier will be good in this weather. Thanks :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 100/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100

    Sounds like you have a plan :)
    I’m hoping to do a part time job by the spring . Maybe 3 days also.
    Hope it works out for you . I’ve still got a few things to do next year ,once I pull my finger out :)
  • So this morning I got out of bed around 7 am . I noticed the broadband router is flashing red once again. No problem, I’ll reset it like I did yesterday morning . This time no good. After changing the router as an experiment (Vodafone gave me 2), I had to contact them at 9 am . Ended up connecting the old router back in and all is well again for now.

    Back to the gym shortly . First time since Monday . Felt out of sorts yesterday and I was walking around the flat like John Wayne with a bad back yesterday. Back still slightly painful but I’m going out to loosen it up. Nice sunny day . Gotta hopefully collect coat from dry cleaners in the afternoon. Hopefully it’s ready . Woman seemed a bit disoriented .

    Tried a little bit of recording on music software last night ,just testing out. I opened up a Dropbox account to share files with my friend. I’ll be seeing him tomorrow and he’ll tell me what I need to do. It’s very complex, but I’ll hioefully figure it out eventually . I have enough time I think .

    Gotta go
  • Just as I was on my way to btockeknhurst yesterday, I put on coat that was’drycleaned ‘ . The dry cleaners made a bad job of it , and removed the leather collar and not pit it back . Disappointed is an understatement . I’m gonna ask them tomorrow if they have somewhere . The warning sign was a 3 day wait for collection .
    First and last time using that place . Got totally ripped off ..£9.50
    They must be imvolved in money laundering or something ..avoid!:mad::mad:

    Went to brockenhurst yesterday . Four of us . A few drinks and a meal. Nice day out . My back has been playing up again . Got home late evening . Found amazon and Royal Mail packages and still awaiting my neighbour upstairs to give me my ABBA cd Box set .
    Surprised that it isn’t with me by now . Maybe the kids from the other flat took it by mistake . Amazing really. The one day I go out , I have multiple deliveries .

    I’ll check my Dropbox account later. Apparently the musical noodle I sent him went through to him. He has replied and added bits to it .
    I’ll probably add a bit more on and between us something half decent may come out of it .
  • Woke up around 4.15 am . Listened to Steve Allen on Lbc Radio as always . Felt a little groggy around 7am when I got up. Wi-fi working .

    Just been to ‘dry cleaners ‘. It’s a launderette as well. Saw scary woman with loads of tattoos. She briefly looked for lost item. She now has my name and no. The boss lady will phone me later if they find it
    If they don’t , then I’ll just have to forget about it . The coat was free from the last employers . Part of the suit allowance I used to get.

    Off to the gym soon . Back not as bad today ,after the three days of hell endured. Gotta see instructor today. I think he is writing out another workout for me to do with the one given a few weeks ago.
    I think the plan is, 8 stick to those 2 rigidly and when he sees me in between he will work me harder. Something like that .

    I’ve done well with no lucozade since the summer. I have a craving though ...for curiosity cola. The craving may go. If not, I may get one at Christmas. No , I’m not gonna go back on Pepsi or Coca Cola. Haven’t touched those for a very long time .Havent touched crisps for about 2 months plus . I’m up and down with the bread limitations . Not doing too bad there.
    Nice sunny day
  • Sounds like the diet and exercise going well AC.

    Our wifi is rubbish too. We need to reset our router constantly but virgin media don't have an answer why. We are just living with it.

    Hi enthusiastic . Three more days for you :)
    Had imho a poor session with instructor . He said I was fine . He likes my solid frame . I get that, but I’m still a fat !!!!!! who is back to being dedicated . Hopefully a few months down the line I’ll have lost some weight .

    Just got a text from Vodafone telling me Case is now closed. If I have any more issues then call them . To be fair, I can’t complain about the service from the advisers etc. It has been good most of the time I’ve bern here . Seems fine now. Surprised virgin media is not working for you , as they are supposed to be the best from the people I’ve spoken to. Still, I’d say anything’s better than Bt . Infinity means you don’t see anybody and they blame wardrobes for blocking the signal:rotfl:
  • ‘Dry cleaning ‘ boss phoned . They can’t find collar of my coat. At least I know who to avoid in future :mad:
  • Just thought I’d give update on plevin.

    Just received a letter from Mbna . I expected to be declined because of a technicality as I already gave them m bank details.

    At the bottom of the letter is a cheque for£1100-43:j:j:beer:
    I may have to contact Hmrc as I’m still not claiming anything and unemployed etc. Still, a nice surprise before Christmas . :)

    This is more than a months money to me now . Adding the previous cheque from Hmrc a few weeks back, it’s like 2 months money to me .

    Amazing really . This time last year, I was about 3 weeks into my six month tenancy in the flat around the corner. Never thought I’d be moving so close .
