An in-between phase

That’s a dire time slot 😠 Hopefully it will get narrowed down tomorrow.

I was aghast when they told me the time frame
@redofromstart @foxgloves @Sun_Addict
I think the only reason I'm not angry is I'm still in shock 😂
I don't want to be up a 7am on a Saturday, the driver doesn't want to be up at 7am on a Saturday, what is this madness?! Then a twelve hour time slot?! I have a hissy fit if something is between 1-5, that's not a time. Just tell me a time. If you're held up, send a text. The absolute cheek of these organisations who think they're the only ones with things to do and that everyone else is a pleb who lives in stasis awaiting their presence.

Anyway I have whoo'd a 30 minute carpet walk, a vinted listing, and a couple of small surveys, and am now admitting whoo defeat and staring in horror at my alarm 😁

If it's any consolation I have to be up tomorrow and Sunday to move my car before the roofers arrive. What really * me off is that I have to get dressed to do it (in case they turn up while I am outside) and they never ever turn up when they say unless I didn't get up and the first I know of it is them clattering along the scaffolding outside my bedroom.  And when I do get up the pesty dog dashes back up and takes up all the warm space and duvet.

Our royal mail delivery usually states 7.30 to 7.30.  If it is coming by van it is usually quite near the 7.30pm but you can't bank on it & they never update unless it is via the postman then they do & we know when to expect anyway.  I think a lot of these companies still live in the times when women stayed at home all day, which is mostly over 50 years ago & hadn't anything better to occupy themselves with.  I suspect they had a much better social life than I did though.

I also hate companies that give a 12 hour time slot and then text me at some unearthly hour in the morning to tell me they will be here between ? & ? with a 2 hour time slot. Why cant they tell me that in the first place.

Big agree @badmemory @ladyholly
I also have to be up early on Sunday @redofromstart as we signed up for car boot sale! Okay, let's send each other getting up motivation this weekend and mentally remind each other to check we have actually got dressed

I get my clothes ready before I go to bed. Like being back at school but faster in the morning if they do turn up early.

Just got a text saying its been narrowed down to 7.40-11.40, so an extra half hour in bed (whoo)
