Workmen

Well,they arrived bang on time and are plumbing like mad.

I just found a shed load of my Cheezburger submissions on my laptop.

I'm so damn cold,the doors are open and I'm huddled under a duvet which makes typing a pain.

The cats hate the drilling.Actually ,I'm not struck either.

I am out of coffee and need to be in the flat or a while

Cleaning up,ugg

So today yet more cleaning up ,tidying,shifting stuff happened.I called up my dear friend Carl who's been close to me for 15 years and though he had a niece's birthday party to go to,and worked a night shift,came round to help.

Yeah,this is pretty much what he looks like..He and Lance cleared one of the rooms.I helped but dear to goodness ,my back aches now.

OK,this is the blog I was about to write before all the crap happened.

I had to go to town on Tuesday to sort out some stuff at the bank and other things I can't do from home. Now a fortnight earlier ,I'd bought a 4 coloured biro which I find useful for shopping lists and my diary because I'm dyslexic .I got one I liked but had seen a really pretty pink 3 coloured one I was tempted by.So I decided to hell with it and went back to the stationers for it.I had also been wanting one of the smaller Filofaxes for ages.I have one of the big ones but wanted a smaller one to fit in my handbag.Lance said it's outdated technology but I have a notebook for shopping lists/reminders ,a card golder and a diary in my bag and it seemed sensible to combine them.Now they are quite pricy so I was just looking when I saw one marked down to � 5.00 from �35.00 .It had been a display model or something and was a little grubby from handling but hey it was going to get used so I wasn't bothered.It was a nice crushed blackberry purple too.So ,yeah,I had to have it.And when I got home,I found the pink pen fitted the penholder perfectly and the colours went together very well.

So it was a most successful shop.Now I can have a lovely time buying inserts and accessories for it.

Getting the workmen in

Annual gas inspection happened today. Now ,as I have blogged before ,I was supposed to have all my gas appliances ,central heating etc replaced over two years ago.It never happened.

Eventually,I got a letter saying I was in breach of my lease for not having it done.I pointed out THEY hadn't done it.They said,they had tried to get access to my flat but I was never in,Ermm,well yeah,bit disabled here,never leave the flat so they were lying.

They sent round 5 people who tut tutted ,said what a shame,we'll sort it out,gave me a date for the work,and never did it. Repeated complaints got nowhere.

Well,this morning ,my gas appliances failed inspection and everything has been shut off.I have no cooker,no gas fire,no heating,no hot water

On the bright side,the guy phoned up the company who run the flats and got them to put a priority job on.

So someone comes round,measures up the flat,assesses the job and gives me a start date,next Tuesday and believe me,that's good.

However ,I have to clear up a lot of stuff ,i.e. about 2,000 books amongst other things.I've rounded up two friends to come round on Sunday because I physically cannot do it.

It's got me very cross because I would have had help and free storage space if they'd done it when they said they would but at least after a 3 year wait ,it's going to get done.

But I'm bloody freezing and really need to wash my hair ,boo.

No 6

I have just tried to set it up so I can see my statements from my bank on line.I've kept trying to fill in the usual name,address etc sections and everytime I've clicked on enter it's gone and highlighted my first and last name in red and told me

You have filled this in incorrectly ,only numbers can be used here,

Where's head office ? Port Merion ?

The problem with blogs : we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your blog and find out what people don't know about you.

Please feel free to ask whatever you want. I will be honest but I reserve the right to not answer a question if I feel uncomfortable with this topic...
