The Challenges Of Finding Solitary Refinement ..

Humdinger1

Looking forward @another_casualty to hearing about your latest UC story.  You don't whinge and even if you did, it is your diary! I'll leave it there....

Thanks @Humdinger1😼
It’s very nice of you to say that . I’m hoping that good manners and showing respect rather than being difficult will help in the long run . I’ll leave that there for now 😺

one more point about houses / flats etc;I notice that my last home is being let out.£1,695 pm. The couple who bought it from me , moved on last year . They did a lot of work to it ,and it did look great . The letting listing looks a bit bleak in comparison.

Yesterday, I had major cold effect 🤧. I still managed to go for walk🐾..just !
Today however it seems to have gone . I did the walk today 🐾, and am just a bit tired. I was supposed to do session with mr trainer today 🏋️‍♂️But he asked to reschedule, so tomorrow it is . 

I ordered a couple of kitchen bins quite a while ago from the Amazon. I didn’t realise the company were using Hermes so I’m probably gonna cancel as they now say I might not get until Friday ! 

Worse things in life I guess .

Anyway, I’ll leave it there ..🌤

Well done with continued exercise.  I hope the cold is lifting.

I dare not look at my old home, not until I am settled in a new home...too depressing for me...

As for UC respect and good manners will take you far in all areas of life

Thanks DIA 😼. 🤞you'll be sorted and more settled this year . Easter might give more people time to tidy and list 🐣🖌

I decided to contact the Amazon by phone 📞 . Why do the customer service team always sound like they're swallowing socks ? 🧦🧦. Nice helpful people but ...

Anyway , they decided to contact manufacturers who are using that rubbish courier co. A bit of irony there as I ordered bins 🗑🚮. 

I sent them an email as well as the Amazon customer services voicing my displeasure.
we live in an instant world now .  Friday is deadline day it seems . 

I'll leave it there ..😼

Just a quick update about the bin 🗑 situation..
I received them this afternoon. The courier was acting a bit guilty. While he was taking the picture on his phone of delivery he seemed edgy and I said that it’s best to be laid back( me obviously not him). My feeling was that he / courier Co were hanging onto it. Anyway I got them,

I then received an email from the manufacturers who are giving me a refund and told me to keep bins if they arrive . The lady wasn’t aware of any contact from myself until today , and both myself and the Amazon gave a double whammy I guess. I did tear into them though as mentioned. I replied to her apologising about being a little o t t and left great feedback as promised..

I’ll leave it there ..🗑😼

A strange weekend …,
Yesterday  , I decided to take a chance..,and finally paint the front room.
This involved me finally getting the courage to paint the room a different colour from the white that dominated the whole flat . The colour I chose was daffodil white  🌼 . The plan initially was to do one section at a time . However ,  I painted the whole room apart from one section.  

Yesterday my food intake was coffee ☕️/toast plus 2 bags of.S&m crisps . This was due to me just going for it and trying to get as much possible done .
what turned out was , me having to quit at 6.45 pm and finishing off this morning.   I never sweated as i  expected but managed to finish by midday today .  Tbh , it was like having a hard workout 🏋️‍♀️ full on and I was surprised at the outcome. Although my body is in pain a lot , I felt better compared to the inflated gas balloon I was previously . Thank heavens I managed to quit prednisolone .

I met my local friend for x amount of ciders 🍺today , and let’s just say i needed it as did he . I’m too assertive in good company I guess . 😬  


 Other important thing ; upon leaving , I was just going to close the communal door and be on my way . I stood back ( polite as always ) and let  tenant back in the building. It was the druggy “ wow didn’t see you , you frightened me “ in a polite manner . I said nothing and was on my way , only for his other half coming in , I ignored her as she started the blanking game . Anyhow, hopefully they will behave and as I have not received apology for their parties I will keep out of their way as much as possible till they move on and keeping myself t myself imho is the best way forward.
In fairness those parties were 2 years ago, but the guy standing outside the block entrance near my bedroom window doing his wheeling and dealing annoys me . Plus of course the random burning smells in my flat .

I’ll leave that there .

Mr trainer 🏋️‍♂️couldn’t do this week . No probs obviously. I did a new session on weds. 🥵. The painting ( although I’m not Picasso ) was like a hard workout on so many levels . 🏋️‍♂️🥵

I noticed  2 weeks in and asking price reduced by 10k on the flat for sale opposite . Not sure if the fox 🦊 marking its territory on the first day of listing  is a good thing for the sellers .

I’ll leave it there ..🌞💨

Well done on the painting - its always nice to have a fresh new room.

jwil

Well done on the painting

another_casualty

Thanks @MrsPorridge & @jwil😼
Felt aches obviously , and todays walk 🐾was hard . 🥵

One of the Albeit minor annoyances after tidying up after painting , is plugging everything back in ( Tv/ Broadband etc ) .  This proved to be a pain , and still is . It seems I can use iPad etc , but Apple TV 🍏which I use for you tube is not working so I guess another call to Vodafone shortly . 

I'll leave it there ...🌥

another_casualty

Well, after approx 2 hrs of talking to various customer services at Vodafone ( who all swallow socks when talking to me 🧦🧦) Broadband and wifi finally sorted 🤞
Being patient while listening to various atrocious hanging"  music " is challenging enough in itself . From feeling in tangerine dream mood , I was getting into a more slayer and  stormtroopers of death mood . 

Apparently I was sent latest router with no software update . They did his for me , hence the long drawn out call. 📞 
It looks like that may not have worked 😾. The last chap sounded about as cheerful as morrissey . I don't want to go hrough this again.

I'll leave it there ..📲📶
