The slide and climbing frame would suit me. Then again I'd probably break it all

LOL. Yes the climbing frame is for age 3-14 so you might be a tad too old for it Not going to comment on your size. Perfect for my very active almost 2 year old DGD though.

What a frustrating time on such a hot day.

.I'm currently indoors hiding from the sun - it's too fierce for me. . It's lovely and cool in my sitting room.

I have been sorting out my banking, paying bills, filling out some claim forms for insurance etc.

Noticed a recurring payment on my credit card statement ......hadn't a clue what it was, started delving and apparently I have been paying £15 a month to a company called "Completesave" for the last 18 months.

For nothing.!!!

Apparently it date back to when I bought rail tickets from Trainline and they just signed me up........cheeky beggars. :rotfl:

I rang them. some American guy asked me what I wanted and I said "I would like my money back". He said "ok ma'am, with pleasure".

I ask you....I cant believe I didn't spot this payment until now.

Memo to self.......double check all bank and credit card statements.

Have booked two house viewings for next week.

Supposed to be Painting the town red tonight. Think I'll pass..... far too hot.

I'll sit in my garden with a glass of something instead. The climbing roses and the Philadelphia Mock Orange are in full bloom and they smell heavenly in the evening.

Just a tip for some of you - especially those with several accounts running for MSE purposes, more interest, account switching etc. I have been using Microsoft Money for many years to track my income and outgoings through all my accounts, and it is a lifesaver. Most of the banks can download your statement onto it and you can set up a bills calendar so that the software can give you a cash flow forecast and many other benefits. So - you can be running your own banking checking system and then download the real time data form your bank and cross reference them. That will certainly stop any crafty ongoing transactions being slipped in by anyone without you knowing about it pretty quickly.

Microsoft stopped selling the software 8 years ago but they offer a free download of the software which enables it to continue to be used. It does not still have the facility to update stocks and shares prices in real time but it is possible to buy a little add on from an ex Microsoft guy if you want to do that.

This link will take you to the download for Microsoft Money Sunset UK edition which you can have for free.

I nearly got done for a recurring payment for online security too. HSBC rang me and warned me it was coming out! Told me not to tick the auto renewal box again!

I used to use Microsoft money until they stopped selling the software and found it very useful. I then used Intuits quicken which was ok but not as good as MS Money.

I now use spreadsheets and we check our bank accounts and credit cards online regularly.

The download looks good but it doesn't say Windows 10 supports it which my laptop runs on now.

Running it in my 2 yr old desktop which I upgraded from W8 to W10 and on my new laptop bought as W10 so I can confirm it works fine.

So, at 2.30 am approx, I see all this flashing going on. It's like having a light show in the flat. Very strong light,with random colours .
So I listen to a Steve Allen podcast and about half an hour later, the thunder arrived. 10 mins later the heavy rain.
A sign that we had all the hot weather too much too soon in such a short period.
Funny about my sleep pattern, which I constantly bleat on about as you know. I always seem to sleep easy to start off with. I get at least 2 hours straight . I'll lie down soon and see what gives.
I want to move stuff to my new home today, but it depends how tired I will be in a few hours. At worst I could start cleaning up and keeping it like it was when I first moved in. I'll leave all windows permanently open in the last couple of days . Not doing that straight away as I don't want spiders around. Cissy I know
Might as well admit, I'm not a fan of the spiderman movies.
People should realise that the best way to end the series is to get a giant shoe ...

When I took prednisolone for just 10 days it gave me chronic insomnia so that might be affecting your sleep pattern. I think it will help once you are settled in your new flat and have all your stuff. Nagging alert here and I do this with my brother - eat healthily, exercise and something to relax you like listening to music before bed or reading will help you sleep better.

Lightening last night was incredible, bit damp here so hope you manage to move your stuff today. Good luck with last bit of your move.
