Travelling On

Karmacat

:wave: afternoon all. I'm lucky that my council-run walk is on a Monday morning, before all the forecast hot weather - but it does mean I don't manage to get my cup of coffee first thing so that was nice to come back to. Lunch now! And a bit of computer research to do: I was introduced to what the walk leader thinks is a mirabelle tree? Got to find out what it looks like. And I told my sister that by the time she came home, I'd have re-researched how to sell our African silver.

Waiting till later on to go out gardening, even though I have my Factor 50 on

Ooh, I'm dead impressed with myself


1. Checked out mirabelle plums, yes, that was a bit of fun

2. Checked out scrap silver dealers at Hatton Garden, phoned some, there are two that are worth going to for our Zimbabwean silver.
3. :j:beer: :j:beer: :j:beer:

Phoned Three ... 3 times, I was about to dissolve and dribble through the plughole of the kitchen sink ... but I've got a new mobile phone contract!!!! 1GB data, 600 phone minutes, unlimited texts, for £6 a month (I expect VAT is on top of that) ... and it's still with Three, unbelievably, so I don't have to faff around with sims and pac codes and all the rest. I can't tell you what a big job this is, in my head. I need some champagne ... gimme that bottle of champagne over there, will you?

:beer: <= sorry I only have beer steins handy - they have champagne in honest! :dance::j

Sigh... I need to do this with 5ky for my broadband ASAP. I passionately hate these kinds of crappy adminy type of phone calls etc. It really annoys me that this is even necessary in order to get these things at a decent price when a contract comes to an end / ends.

I don't mind the phone calls it's normal shopping I hate!

Passes raspberry gin

Mmm Raspberry Gin sounds lovely...

Only rum accessible in this neck of the woods - will raise a glass of rum and coke to toast your mobile phone deal success!

Oh it is, especially the Edinburgh

It's a cocktail party :j:j:j
How lovely and thank you all. It's absolutely the phone calls, for me, I can't bear them. But the Retention Guy was at least Scottish, and though his headset still made his voice fuzzy, communication was very doable And that little series of phone calls has saved £8 a month - if I stay on it for 2 years, which is reasonable, thats nearly £200 saved!

Plus I have the evening off from gardening - it's Flying Ant day here, and though I don't mind being out in it in the evening, I really don't want to be digging the ground during it. So I'll be off for a little walkies soon

I really, really, really do not like flying ants. I think it stems from having to go in to a greenhouse full of them as a child. I say 'having to', but I have no idea what I needed to go in for...
