  • It's not a new bill @doingitanyway, it's one they've plucked out of thin air from two years ago to try to land on me as octopus don't understand the concept of social housing not belonging to individuals. But I will point that rule out to them, thanks for reminding me of it.
    I really thought after my Dad died that I had seen the worst conduct by organisations and companies but octopus take the bloody biscuit

    I recommend using the MSE resolver tool. I've used it a few times with good results.

  • Thanks @kayannie, I didn't know about that. Will definitely use it if they don't issue a grovelling apology!

    25 minute walk getting 8p spuds and the cheapest not rubbish looking easter eggs I could find. Blimey they're expensive

    Prepped veggie cottage pie while Mr PIP was out, he saw Charles Dance but refrained from saying: my missus fancied you over Aiden Turner in that Agatha Christie cos she's a wrong 'un 😁

    Stroll with Mr PIP for bank holiday beer festival at a local. Hope everyone is having a good one 🍻

  • Hip dislocated last night so bit tired and sore today but managed to do:

    Shower and hairwash
    Usuals
    Little flat clean with Mr PIP
    Small walk for essentials
    Gentle stroll with Mr PIP and beer in (well, near) sun

    Dinner is freezer pizza with salad
