    Hehe

    E-on..... yep had a good go at them last week.

    They owe me £65 and I requested a refund nearly 4 weeks ago now so I rang them up last week and they said it has to be investigated as I am on a meter.

    Is it my fault some idiot programmed my meter to take too much? Nope, so I told them that in line with their own standards and rules, if the money is not forthcoming by week commencing 23rd June, then THEY will be getting an invoice from me charging them with loss of interest, late payment fees and admin costs and after that, I will be taking my business elsewhere!

    Think the woman was rather shocked to be honest :rotfl:
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    Ouch!

    Makes my £65 seem rather petty eh?

    Hope you get it sorted, sounds like one of those things that would really do my head in and pull me down.

    As for calming down, have you tried the soapy water in a sink with plastic plates trick? :rotfl:

    Nah...well yes but with a difference

    Fill a sink with water and make sure it has lots and lots and lots of bubbles, add old not needed or plastic plates and then think of the thing that is really peeing you off and take the top plate and bang it down on the plates underneath.

    You get very wet, bubbles end up everywhere but you don't get hurt and you don't break anything of value (not at all with the plastic plates) and your anger is dissipated (sp).....bloody funny for the kids to watch too! :rotfl:

    Trouble is I`d have to clean it all up afterwards!!! I`d be splashing away thinking....I`m just causing myself more work!!:rotfl:

    Liking the idea though!!

    Well yes there is that unfortunate outcome of it but it does make you feel ooddles better.

    Anyway, best be getting off to my bed or the kids won't be making school on time tomorrow.
