Whoever said.................

That things happen in threes , is a liar!
My cooker was finally fixed yesterday. It nearly didnt get fixed though due to the crappy service centre that Beko use. It took them two weeks to get someone out to fix it. When I first rang up, they did the 'your a stupid woman and dont know what your talking about' act on me, trying to tell me that it was not wired into the terminals properly and that I should go and get it rewired, the arseholes. Well, even though we knew it wasn't that, it still kind of makes you doubt yourself so we brought new wiring and redone it. Still didnt work. So Him Indoors rung them and the operator said we still should of been given an appointment and so made us one for Yesterday and three times we specifically said they have to come after 12pm as nobody wouldnt be home in the morning. Guess what? The feckers turned up at 9.30am and left a message on the anserphone saying he had left a card (no card to be found!) and we needed to make a new appointment. Well, that was it, I blew my top at the operator who didnt believe that we had said to call after 12. So I knew the calls were all recorded and got her to phone me back after she had listened to the last phone call. Guess what? Yep she heard that we said after 12pm . So 45 minutes later, a bloke turned up to fix it. Opened the back of the cooker bypassed the thermal fuse with another bigger one and said it was a known design fault with the fuses and that they blew after reaching a certain temperature so many times! Oh, and the reason we didnt have his calling card through the door was because he had knocked at the wrong house previously! What a numbnuts! But at least I have an oven I can use now!
Oh and if that wasn't enough, the telephone buggered up too. Thats the second BT one to do so, so we went to Tesco's and bought a nice Philips one at a reasonable price. I now hope thats it as we have had a run of back luck the last two weeks what with the exhaust dropping of the car, then the cv boot thingymajig going three times (fixed by Citreon itself now lol), the cooker breaking down, the printerhead going on my lully kodak printer and now the phone. Thought it was supposed to go in three's? Thats more than three lmfao!

Good day

I went into town today with my ex husband and Louise. I got my daughters birthday presents as she will be 27 tomorrow. We then went for lunch at Intimo's and we met up with my daughter Becky. I had the salmon and prawns served on a bed of salad which was divine as always, and good for my diet lol. Louise insisted on paying for everyone which was very nice, and when I say insisted, I mean she insisted lol.
Becky and I then did some girlie shopping together and then went to The Rainbow briefly and had a glass of wine. We then went to my ex husbands (and Beckys dad)) and saw my grandaughter Destiny. She's just over one years old and growing very quickly! So, I had a lovely day.
When I got home, I discovered that Kodak had already sent out my new printer head. Kudos' to them and their swift response. We only rang them Monday, how's that for service!

Handed the forms in

Just come back from handing all the forms into the local housing office for my transfer. I can't wait to move. We like where we are but have decided to downsize from a 3 bed to a 2 bed. They are crying out for 3 beds and I have a spare one that mainly gets used as a junk room. They have this bidding system in place now and because we have opted to downsize, we get extra points
We tried Homeswapper but we were absolutely swamped with offers. The phone didnt stop ringing. So we opted for the transfer instead. Less stress when its just you moving into another property rather than swapping and trying to move furniture in and out of a property at the same time. Plus you hear so many stories of people being let down at the last moment.
I understand it could be a while before we get accepted for a property, but I don't mind............less stress still

Hope everyone is having a nice day!

Two good results

Had two good results today. Firstly, Beko are coming out to fix my 5 month old cooker on Friday. So by then I would have been without a fully working cooker for five days . Thank gawd for the microwave and George Foreman! I did ring Beko last week but the contractors were arseholes to me giving me the little woman act and telling me the cooker was not wired to the terminals correctly which was pants. Went out replaced the wiring and it's still not working. The person we spoke to today at Beko said that they should of sent someone out the first time we called .

Secondly my lully Kodak all in one printer packed up so we rang Kodak and they said it was the printer head and that it was a known fault with my printer batch and they were having to wait for people to ring them so they could send out replacement heads for free. They were so very polite. Can't wait to recieve it as I need to print out some charts for my stitching lol .

Had the gas bolier checked to day for its annual check up and it was all fine. Not worried if it needed things doing to it seeing its owned by the housing association muhaha .

Grrrrrrrr

I just realised I have been conned by Him Indoors! He promised he would cook one day over the weekend to give me a break and he hasn't .
Time to start plotting revenge muhaha!

Ahem

Ok, so I've not blogged recently.............meh, what excuse to use lol? Been under awful stress from one thing or another.........from things going wrong on the car, to a 5 month old cooker breaking down, to trying to move house, bloody panic attacks..............it's enough to drive me bonkers lol. When stress gets to me (when its abundant) I have a habit of breaking from my normal routines and saying 'sod it', and sod it I did. But I feel better for it and firmly believe that you have to break from routines now and again, besides the fact that routines become so bleedin boring lol. (Yeah, yeah, I'm drunk blogging again, so shoot me lol).
Guess what? I got reaquainted with old friends today and it was feckin delightful...........we picked up where we left off. So me and Him Indoors will also be playing role playing games again...................oi, stop being pervs, not THEM kind of games but Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, silly! We used to be avid players, but we went to the dark side and started playing World of Warcraft online muhaha!
<>
The weather was absolutely bootiful today, was it not? Blue skies and hot sun etc etc etc, meh lol
I cooked spagbol from scratch,cant stand the shit that comes in jars only lazy people buy lol. We had that then opened a really big bottle of wine and sat and watched Britains Got Talent whilst getting nicely aquainted with the bottle. So glad Diversity won.
Not done any cross stitching either, lost the will to do it but will probably pick it up at some point. Might pick it up and loook at it lol and chuck it back in the bag or put some stitches in, who can tell lol?
Still reading lots, have several books to blog on the other blog. Still plodding through War and Peace, although I have to say that I am enjoying it...............a bit of sophistication hehehe.
Guess I'd better leave it there for now, I had so much more to say but it all fecked off over my head lol.
Hope you are all having a lovely weekend and I will endeavour to catch up on all your blogs.........meh, well most of them or some of them lol..........tomorrow. xxxxxxxxxx

Greedy Ba****ds

OK, this might seem trivial to most of you but it is principal. I just went to my local Tescos to buy my bread. I buy the Weight Watchers one, for two reasons, my diet and my gallstones, as it contains less fat then standard breads. My beef is that it has gone up by 12 pence in a week, when other breads are coming down in price. How do the greedy bastards justify a 12p hike? The bread is manufactured by Warburtons so I contacted them via their website. They guarantee a reply within 5 working days. BTW, I was very polite and just happened to mention that I brought their rivals equivalent, Hovis Nimble as it was cheaper and still only half a weight watchers point per slice! (Compared to 1.5 points per normal sliced bread)
Like I said, it's principle :P
