Midlife Musings and Measurable Goals

Just a thought on your broadband DIA, who is your provider? I'm with Plusnet and am aware of an issue with their routers whereby the 5GHz wifi connection stops working and requires the router to be reset to get it working again. They're owned by BT so I think the BT routers probably have the same issue.

Workaround would be to switch everything to the 2.4GHz wifi which doesn't suffer the same issue.

Thanks @ThatKiss My provider uses a BT line. If I wasn't planning to move I would look at switching but hopefully I won't be here much longer (fingers crossed)

Not 100% sure if you use BT as your provider or just the line DIA, but now you have reminded me of the annoyances I had with BT . Btw BT= B@@dy Terrible imho
Reasons : The spiel they churn out about infinity and beyond , when they tell me my wardrobe is interfering with the signal etc . Then the call centre is India . 

To top it all, when I moved and paid up , in my redirected mail I got a final demand for £38 and they never sent me the previous letter as a reminder .
Shady barstewards ! 

Something to consider when you move .  Others will have opposite experiences .

I'll leave it there ..😼

Good news on contracts

Just caught up with your goings on DIA. All looking good - so handy that you have somewhere to stay in the area where you are looking to buy. As you say you can take your time and make the right decision.

Making good progress. Glad your bike is fixed.

Thanks @another_casualty I will think carefully about my provider at the new place

Thanks @beanielou the contracts are not yet signed but I have to sign in advance. Hopefully it won't be too long now

Thanks @Seasidegal58 and @savingholmes yes all going well and all I can do is hope for the best.

Strangely IT has been behaving itself perfectly all morning (fingers crossed it lasts)

Low energy today so I am taking it easy. The weather is dull and wet and windy so all plans outside of the house are off. A meet with a friend for a walk is off. Going to the shop for chocolate supplies is off.  More decluttering of the garage is off. I won't go to the storage centre, it might have to wait until next week. 

I've been decluttering under the stairs. For such a small space I can't understand why there is a never-ending amount of stuff. 

A dress in the CS bag. A really good silk dress but I was never 100% about it so no big loss. 

I might treat myself to a Netfl1x session

If it's a line issue, then open reach will fix it quickly, doesn't matter if you're leaving. It would be worth contacting your provider.

Every corner, nook and cranny seem to be like a TARDIS when de-cluttering.

Enjoy your session 😊

I always think to myself that although we don't directly see the impact giving to charity has, we know that charities do really good work.
It is hard to give away really nice things, especially clothing so well done you. 

The things you chose to carry forward into your new home will deserve their place ❤️😂
