Decluttered five boxes of tea to an olio'er. Nowt wrong with them except they didn't match the requirements of my taste buds.

Can’t be worse than the truly vile sleep tea I bought. Shudder.

Have messaged the company I bought my tulip bulbs to let them know that one batch of bulbs definitely wasn't what I ordered (apart from about 3 of them).
Did some batch cooking at the weekend, so have food for the week, but am still doing the washing up due to the lack of working dishwasher.

Never found a good sleep tea they all have something randomly disgusting in them. Got the Breathe Deep one for nighttime instead

Complained to our building society even though I really did not want to be Mrs Constant Complaints but they are taking the mick
Also started ordering my mum's birthday gifts rather than writing it in my to-do diary and then wondering why I felt rushed having not just done these quite simple things when I thought of it!

We are having a successful eating down the cupboards night by using up a couple of tins of soup which have been in there for ages
I have also got a nightcream sample sachet out to use in my quest to use up the toiletries, though I'm usually too tired by bed time for extra faff. But I have got it out!

I keep my night cream & neck cream on the side table next to where I sit & still don’t always do it!

I have persevered to get my balances transferred to my new 0% credit card.
I had no pin after 2 weeks. There was no option to do a balance transfer when I eventually got into the app. No option to 'chat' or message on the app
I've had to do 2 separate phone calls and queue each time.
It's taken me just over an hour in actual time but many many hours of trying different things and gritting my teeth.

Applauding your perseverance @Rhyddid2026, that is exactly the sort of situation that has me turning the air blue and vowing to live off-grid despite having no survival skills as it could not be worse than having to interact with this sort of nonsense
