I went to bed earlier than usual yesterday and obviously woke up earlier.Yesterday , was an awful stress day as you know . However, I had a clear head at 4.30 am and typed/ printed and posted a direct but more restrained letter to the owners of the flat plus the lettings agent . The lettings agent already have it by email. The owners is in the post and will get there probably Tuesday . To stop rambling I won't say the wording . Only that I told them all about the drugs .
I received an email from managing agents telling me the landlords and letting agents are urgently trying to sort things out . I didn't respond . Staying calm .
I was going to say that my next step is nothing .
However after a video session with Mr trainer🏋️He talked me into phoning the police
I did that . The next thing to do is to phone 101 when they are at it and I will do that.
So, I've eaten a frog there . Are you there DIA ?🐸
Yes I know it should have been sooner , but at least I'm now fully aware .No need to do anything now , but to wait .Obviously felt tired and groggy, but posting that letter across the road at around 5 am seemed to lift the mood and get rid of tension . For now ..3 -
One more thing( sorry gone all columbo there) . .
just received call from lovely lady at lettings co . The tenants and landlords have been told
I told her that yesterday my whole day was like a blue bottle trapped inside a glass jar and that 101 will be called when they kick off again . I have a feeling they never relayed first message through, but now they have. She wants me to contact her at the first instance also.I'll leave it there...3 -
Good to have the lady from the agency on side and I hope you got a good response from the police.
It helps to feel supported.
It may not feel like it, but it is the beginning of a B/H weekend.
Have a relaxing evening.

I hope you have a relaxing weekend with no trouble.
I saw somewhere else that you were considering getting Netflix. If you get the £5.99 package, you can watch it on either the TV or the ipad, just not both at the same time. We had that package, and have used it across a number of different devices, it's just only one can be logged in at any one time."If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney2 -
Thanks @jwil😼
When I signed up I think it was£7.99 . That was of course before I moved and used to use both . I had my head in the sand then also ,and just paying bills automatically . I may use it again tonight .Thanks everyone for well wishes regarding the druggies.The impression I got from their response was the standard dopey " didn't realise " response
As for the landlords , I get the same feeling and not sincere in any way as expected .Still , everyone knows that as soon as I see activity in the scum being replaced they will be accosted by me at all times whether it's the letting agent, landlord or both .I also know that the landlords are about a 20 minute walk from where I live .Living in this flat has made me more untrustworthy of others ,including the managing agents .I'm angry with them and the landlords of both properties when I was the go to guy for opening the electric meter Cupboard for readings .I had to pay £10 for my key.I was stupid for being in my usual cheerful disposition , but they all know now they can do one .A quick hello is enough. Even to the druggies .Anyway , in summary: no noise last night 👍If there is noise tonight 101 will be called and if they're not too busy can knock on their door . The owners have probably got my full message by post either today or Tuesday.
I did say to the nice lady at the lettings agency they can forward that by email if they want .I expect no response but the owners do have a chance to be apologetic . However I have to let it go for now..
Enjoy the weekend if anyone's here 😼5 -
No parties yesterday .Woke up around 5am , but I haven't any complaints as I slept well .The only things I need to do for bedtime and waking up , is change my listening habits.
Having Steve Allen on lbc is grating these days . This morning he kept talking about bull fighting and animal cruelty. I think all this stems from the fact that I listen on my iPad rather than the bedside radio which hasn't been plugged in for ages .I still have credits for audiobooks but am not in the mood at the moment.
So I'm up , and watching Mr Magoo and mighty mike . Mighty mike is brilliant 🐶
Mr Magoo is very different from years ago. Didn't realise it was French .🇫🇷I managed to get a Tesco delivery for tomorrow .Today will probably be a lazy one, but I may record some musical stuff later.
May be having a zoom/ FaceTime type call today .I'll leave it there ..3 -
So I ordered my medicine from pharmacy 2u on 5he 20th of this month . It's now the 27th
As usual ,I'm the ideal patina patient allowing for bank holidays etc.
I am concerened as the most important drug Azathioprine has run out . I phoned them and was told that I should have bern contacted . In a nutshell , the rest is now on its way . They were hoping to send everything together . I asked them to do that , but also send me the azathioprine also when back in stock . The idea being that they send everything regularly and I'm trying to get a stop gap in this time .The receptionist asked for the doctor to call me back . Instead the receptionist phoned me back ,and a medical technician will phone me .
I am contemplating phoning ambulance to see if they can bring emergency supply . I told everyone above this . I have taken none yesterday or today , and only have have of a days supply of that drug left .Annoying !2 -
