Re the fridge freezer, I'm hesitant to recommend Olio because a lot of people are time wasters but there are also a lot of people who are normal and decent, so might be worth considering putting it up on there if that feels manageable for you atm, if charities aren't being forthcoming

You could also put the FF free on FB. Alternative would be to pay for a collection.

I would put it up for a nominal amount. I've found that anything I list for free on FB gets a lot of timewasters but by putting it up for a nominal amount (even if I refuse the cash when they collect) weeds out a lot of those. 

Everything crossed for tomorrow for you and I would definitely complain afterwards. Maybe you could start writing "Draft 1" of that now, with all the "industrial language" you want. Afterwards you can edit all that out but you'll feel better

I think the problem with complaining about solicitors at the time ( I wish I had done on at least 1 occasion is you do  not want to put their back up  and delay things even more then once you are in you tend to forget about the bad bits.  A little bit like childbirth  ).  Glad you enjoyed your relaxing bubble bath EH and have an enjoyable day.

Thanks for the continued finger and other digit crossing - not least as I've realised this morning that I'm past the point of being able to now dreg up any optimism whatsoever. 

I don't use FB marketplace so that's not an option for the Fridge Freezer - I might dreg up my old freecycle account as I'm sure someone will grab at it on there - if so it will be on the same basis that I'd offered it to the charities on, that the taker needs to come and collect it from the communal area outside the flat on the afternoon of moving day...if moving day ever happens, of course! We'll see - not a lot of point in trying to do anything more about it right now anyway until we see what is going to happen next. 

Banks checked and all fine - the monthly cashback earnings have landed from Sant-And-Er and they've taken the £2 account fee as well so I'll need to sweep that across to the VSP at some stage. 

An email received over the weekend telling me that my Strava subscription is increasing on renewal so an incentive there to start trying to increase Ipsos earnings again as those are the ones I convert across to iTunes vouchers. I've actually got £32 credit on there at the moment which isn't too shabby - that will offset most of it anyway. Also need to keep my eyes peeled for my OP cashout landing as that should be due in the next few days.

Food is as under control as it can be for the week... remembered to get the bits needed for tonight out of the freezer so that's all ready to go. Lamb sausagemeat for tonight - that will turn into sausage and mushroom pasta with the last of the frozen mushrooms, the remains of a red pepper and some soft cheese. I've got spicy ragu out for tomorrow evening. 

Right - off to consider crossing my fingers again...

Oh EH, that's a horrible feeling to have, but totally get why you feel that way. Hopefully it will be undramatic and actually happen to day and you'll regain some optimism then.
