Quit..rest ..restart . Diary no.3

another_casualty

I received email from managing agents . They have passed my comments and photos to Tomasz and asked him to reattend .
In a way I feel bad because it could be because of the heat . In another way , I wouldn’t have thought you would still have water marks on the window after they have been cleaned .

AC, every 3 months! We have our windows cleaned every 4 weeks, costs £8 a time for a 3 story terraced town house.


The guy who does it uses just long brushes, hoses and water, but the water is special tanked stuff that dries off and leaves the glass completely smear free. Downside is that the upvc frames do get some staining over time because they are never wiped but at least we get to see out of clear glass.


Maybe your people are using the same system, but cheating and using tapwater which will smear?

Hello Harz:) Good to hear from you again . I suppose it's just like some "cleaners " you get in offices . I've witnessed some amateurs over the years :rotfl:.
Looks like I did the right thing complaining after all . I have a feeling that I've been overlooked this year, what with the beast from the east and all . At least now I have an idea of when to expect them in the future. The mgt company have been good overall ,it has to be said .

I thought I saw the window cleaner this morning coming out of the van . It turns out not to be him, but the estate agents putting a "for sale "sign outside my window . I looked on the right move website and noticed it reduced from £195,000 to £189,950.
It's the same estate agents who sold me my flat . I expect a few viewings now that the board is present . Interesting times .

Tomasz has not been . I will send an email on Monday to managing agents asking, why not .

Just been to my local small Sainsbury's . Nice and cool in there.
Too hot for me , so I'm staying put by the fan . Looking at the forecast, the temperature should be more manageable midweek .
What an extreme year .

I was gonna ( or have a go at ) record some music today .
Maybe later. Will probably do something later. I need a haircut . I haven't got much left , but if I have it now my head would be scorched .

Can we have some more rain please ??

another_casualty

Still no rain Still way too hot for me .

Friend took me to a couple of pubs in Westbourne on Saturday afternoon . I still have a bad habit on getting ..one more cider:rotfl:

Just had another session with mr. Trainer . More physical movement ,which I didn't fancy doing to begin with . Felt much better when it was done . He seems to be more than impressed .
Back home next to the dyson .

Tomasz never bothered his @ss to come back last week to rectify his amateur job of window cleaning .
I will send an email on weds as it Would be a full week since my last email conversation with the managing agents .
I was too polite and making too many excuses for him, but if he doesn't bother to show up I will ask why I am being charged for dirty window cleaning . This is turning out to be a bit of a pane .

I was going to reduce my prednisolone intake today from 2.5 -2 mg
However , yesterday as I was taking my bits and pieces it must've fell out of my hand so I took it at bedtime .
I'll reduce at the weekend and see what gives ..

Cooler weather at last . Cloudy , but a change was needed .

I have just sent an email to the managing agents , expressing my disappointment and querying why I am paying for a service where the windows seem stained all year . I don't fancy Tomasz coming into my flat , but have a feeling that the office manager may insist he does come in . Personally , I don't think he know how to clean windows and that I have been forgotten about and was an afterthought until I queried back in July .
I will obviously pay the 6 monthly service charge next month.
However, if I am asked if there are any points to discuss at the yearly meeting I will raise my concerns and ask if all flats are cleaned at the same time etc .

I didn't venture out yesterday because if the heat . I will be out later on , maybe Poole for food shopping . May get haircut today/ tomorrow . This weather has been draining me and 3 showers a day have been keeping me cool . I should have more energy now .

Perhaps you could suggest that they use another window cleaner. This one seems like a cowboy.


It's been raining here, although it was nice at the weekend.

Good point gigervamp . I would think that could well be the case .
It's hard to know . In the flat I was staying at for six months, the landlady used to tell me when to expect the window cleaners and asked me about the condition after they were done . They were always done to a good standard imho,and I used to see them being done . No corners cut . I'm awaiting response to this mornings email .

Went to Poole to do food ,and toiletrie shopping . For some reason the packed bus on the way had most of the windows closed . People were beginning to open them the nearer we got to our final destination .

Nice breeze today . The one thing I miss this year , is the balcony of the flat I stayed in around the corner for six months . If only we had this heatwave last year

I have the urge for some sasparila . Can't seem to find it anywhere .
It is the kind of drink that used to be served on tap in herbalists and could be purchased in those grocery shops that have post offices combined . I'll do a google search ,and see if I can get some nearby

Brilliant! Thanks for the smile first thing AC.

I haven't caught up on all your goings on, but it's good to hear you're still doing the training and that your trainer is really impressed with you. I'm sorry to hear about the window cleaner issues. It's not right when people take payment for a service they don't fulfill and apparently have no shame about it either! If he did he'd have rushed round to fix the cleaning when he was told to.

It's cooler in London today, although it's very grey and gloomy.

Have a great day.
