LATEST MOAN FROM YOU AND ME 2020

Postage to you is going to be a bit more than £50 I reckon, but I am happy to bow out and let you have it

 

I guess the old joke about a man being asked why he had a Banana in his ear and he replied "to keep any Elephants away" and the other guy looked around and said "but, there are no Elephants here!" And the guy with the Banana in his ear grins "See, it works"

Just don't stick the Liquid Mildew spray in your ear. Lori

 

Annoyed at Amazon (who isn't?) for being useless at sorting out problems.

Mrs Shiney sells books through them and they have a two stage verification. This means they send a one-time password to a mobile phone. She wanted to change the phone number as the one she used before no longer exists. Should be a simple matter.

She phoned their helpline and said that they could change it for her after she puts in the code that they have sent to the non-existent mobile! She explains again that it's no good sending it to a non-existent mobile and that is why she is phoning. They didn't seem to understand the problem so she asked to speak to a supervisor.

The supervisor said she could change it for her after Mrs Shiney has sent a copy of her passport to her . How do we do that? Supervisor said that she has sent a text - to the non-existent phone.

So then she said she would send an email to Mrs S's registered email address - but it didn't arrive. So she gave two other email addresses but no receipt of any emails. I checked at our server if they had gone into spam but not there.

Amazon - "We will phone you back". Three days ago!

My solution seems simpler. Sell through another website.

 

Things that know the day....

Yesterday was a bit of a 'gutty' day, with lots going on including two new chest of drawers to be moved into Little C's room (thus the old ones coming out) and lots of moving stuff around, so after all that I was absolutely bushed and in a lot of pain. Truth be told, yesterday was too much for me, but had to be done.

Today, was supposed to be a 'chill' sort of day, but it certainly hasn't worked out like that with the first job being that our kitchen tap suddenly decided to go loose and started wiggling around in it's mount on the sink - - so I had to do a contortionist impression to try and bolt it back up. In doing so, one of the drain pipes pinged off, so that was taken well out of the way until the tap was done and then that became the second job of the day. Loads of other wee bits and bobs, and then we finally retired for a shower around 4pm with a view to just sitting and loafing from there on in.

Rest was futile, as our washing machine also decided it knew it was a Sunday and started leaking. Currently, no idea where it is leaking from as it is going to need the lid whipping off to see if I can work out what is going on. No shame to it as it is 12 years old, but I really cannot afford a new one at the moment, so I am hoping I can fix it!

Finally got sat down, and now hoping that nothing else breaks.

 

Aye, I did hope it was something of that ilk, but no joy - we've pulled it out into the room a bit and ran it again, and the leaking is coming from mid to rear, which tells me it is likely to be one of two things - either (if we are lucky) the pipe that connects the detergent drawer to the tub has split or it is a split in the tub itself. If it is the latter, then we are knackered. To be fair, at over 12 years old, it owes us not a shilling

 

Was that the good neighbour or the bad neighbour? Or are they now both bad neighbours?
