I've been waiting for the chap from the housing association to fix my boiler since 7.30am.

Isn't that always the way? They say they'll be there today, and you wait the whole day. Other times, they say they'll be there today, and everything goes off at 7:30 a.m..

You know when people begin a sentence with " I cannot begin to describe !"

You know d **n well that the next sentence is going to be to describe what they cannot begin to describe !

I'm literally speechless...#rantover. Symps to all those with ailments, non-arrived repairpersons et al.

This is a gripe of mine - that loads of fruit tends to be sold in a state of ripeness whereupon it has more in common with military ordnance than with comestibles...

Why I won't buy plums that aren't local.

It's chucking it down here as well. Poppy and Lexi have both declined to venture forth into the great outdoors. Poppy is currently on my bed and Lexi is draped across the dining room table.

I'm sitting here writing and doing paperwork and watching the news. A brief foray onto the Book of Faces has already turned up the first "Enemies of the People" post...

It's made me reach for a very strong

I buy most of my fruit & veg on yellow sticker. And my observation is made from that. Usually, stuff tends to need at least another week in a warm room even then...

People think I'm nuts when I buy squishy mangoes and squishy avocados, but they're bang on like that.

I'm getting psyched up now! only 1 hour to go then if they haven't turned up by 1pm it'll mean they won't be coming! The last time they didn't turn up for an appointment they said they did turn up,but i didn't answer when they knocked on my door. They lied then,so i'll be expecting more lies!

About to pop some cheese and onion rolls in the oven. I has a hungry.

I received training on how to use a self service till today !

It felt unnatural ! I like being served ! I think health and safety should be informed as to what kind of dangers are being unleashed on the public!

I won't be doing it again !

 

[Reynard]

Mmmmm, that was tasty...

Cheese and onion rolls off the Tesco deli counter, with a dab of sweet chilli sauce on the side. Plus I had two and half an avocado.

As expected they didn't turn up! Well they did do,but at 1.20 which was out of the between 8 and 1pm time given to me. I left my flat at 1.03pm,returning at 2.42 to find a note from them behind my door,saying 'You've missed your appointment', like it's my fault!. I'm not happy at all!!

The appointment was until 13:00 & you left at 13:03 you do not have my sympathy

13.03 is after the 5 hours they needed to come out to me. If they operate on a "we'll say between 8 and 1,but if we can't be arsed we'll come later than that' basis,then they should stipulate that!

I've left the shopping there, when I've been told that they're the only "tills" open. I'd go online if I wanted that sort of service from a shop.
