After shopping for the usual groceries at Sainsbury's I decided to buy a new lawn trimmer from Robert Dyas, got it home, fitted it together and then ventured outside to do my front lawn it had only been going so well until 2 minutes later when things came to an abrupt halt, the spool had broken off, leaving the trimmer chord ravelled up around the base. Rang Robert Dyas and told them what happend, they will replace the faulty one for me. Thank goodness it didn't cost too much.
Annoying when this happens but everything can fail, humans and technology. At least you get it replaced free of charge, hopefully the new one will not break down again :)Quote:

I need to have new lenses for my reading glasses, cost not very expensive ( which was good). Now watching tv.
Britain is not known for good customer care unfortunately. I mean who employed this person!
exactly!! well said swmc66, the girl didn't smile or greet me in a kind way,:thumbsdow she looked about 16, wonder how she would have re-acted if her fave pop band had turned up??
got my trimmer replaced today, very happy:cheer::cheer:
You should of gone to... oh wait you probably did:ninja:Quote:

but then I am an opticians wet dream, please excuse the term, but none of them have ever seen someone with Bests.. even the proff at the eye hospital has only ever seen 3 with it and thats my fsmily.
Today I have mostly been puling my hair out trying to coordinate fools...renting out my flat is becoming insane, no one listens or reads emails, they just seem to bubble along like deranged antelopes.
I always go to a family run one for years. They were so good with my kids who all wore glasses in their teens.
yes it was specsavers, as for your flat you would have no problem renting it where i live, it would have gone in a day!!!
most of the opticians where I live are all franchise companies, and expensive too :thumbsdowshame really, so I use specsavers which is a bus ride away.
Hey Splashy, I haven't been on the forum for a while. Sorry to hear about your breathing problems :( - are you feeling better now? I'm keeping everything crossed that you get on 15 to 1! Let us know, won't you? :)
splashy get well soon, hope it isn't anything nasty that you have had.
Yesterday i was given a nissan juke courtesy car as a week ago someone hit my car when i was waiting at a give way sign. Driving the courtesy car I went to pets at home and when i opened the boot of the car to put my shopping in it had bags i did not recognise at the back. I was confused and closed the boot. Only to realise i had walked to soneobe elses nissan juke car that was identical and opened their boot while they were sat in the car. Plus they had 3 really cute dogs that were wondering what was happening. I apologised and they laughed as they saw that my car was identical.
That must have come as a shock to you and the other people sat in the car with their dogs.... and is worrying that your car key can open somebody else`s car :eek: Glad you all had a good laugh though :D
I t must have already been opened. I can see the funny side now at the time i was in shock.
Had a meeting the other day with the organisation who are helping me with a Work Choice programme ( in this instance its not the job centre but an agency who works alongside them) it looks as if I will be working in a village shop, they will be seeing the proprietor next week so here's hoping. In the meantime I have applied for jobs as a receptionist at 2 local hairdressers. Let's hope my job prospects get better asap.
Good luck with all of your applications :)
got an e mail from one of the job applications I did recently, they obviously don't want older people in their salon, how ageist is that?
Sorry to hear that :(Quote:

I've just had my latest Royalties statement for Pie 'n' Mash & Prefabs. Between July and December 2016 it sold a further 3305 copies, making a total now since it came out of 20,969.
Congrats, great achievement, I have read it now too and loved it :)Quote:

That is great news
My brother came over from kuwait with his wife and daughter plus he picked up his 3 sons from previous marriages and came to stay today. There was so much racket that my cat went missing for hours and hours we just got her back now she is in so much distress.She did not want to come back home. Too many strangers plus my niece has a lot of tantrums and is attention seeking all the time. Two others nephews were running around a lot. I will just keep her away from all the chaos. They go centreparcs tomorrow. This has been an awful evening. I have been sat in the garden for hours crying on and off.
stupid idiots their lossQuote:

I am so sorry to hear that, I guess the kids were also unsettled being out of their usual environment and therefore lively. I would put kitty with litter tray into a bedroom nobody else is allowed to enter, that way she has peace and won´t be so scared next time. I hope you both have had a restful nightQuote:

Just back from a week in Ireland. Surprisingly it didn't rain when we were there so I wasn't sure we had the right country hahaha. Was great to catch up with family and friends but even better to be back in my own bed.
While away I got the results of my distant learning test. I got an A so I am now officially a web developer. Certification will be in the post soon. Really proud of myself as it was all in german and I didn't get any help with translation so extra proud
Congratulations, very well done and deserved. :clap:Quote:
