Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The unfit for purpose Highways agency (or whatever its called)

At work listening to Radio 5 Live and it tell me the M11 is shut in both directions between my home (J7) and work (J8).

I look on the AA site to confirm this.

I drop someone off and then normally drive back to the M11.

As I go past the junction there is no police or anyone blocking the slip road and the matrix board is off, and I can see cars driving down the "Closed" M11.

I took the back way and traffic was murder on the country roads.

The last time I got caught out it took me 3 hours to go 5 miles,

:rant:
People who use every trick in the book to try and make you feel bad about yourself even though 98% of people in your life tell you that your doing great there is that 2% that try and make you feel like shit for changing to better your life and families!

The best advice I was ever given was that (Remember nobody can manipulate you without your consent and cooperation) only you allow this to happen and only you can change it, if these people have a problem with being told no then it's their problem not yours.

I was put to the test this week and as usual this person tried to use their old tactics of emotional blackmail but I was strong enough to say no, so maybe this should be a happy thought :shrug: but inside I do feel slightly bad at saying no even though I have a legitimate reason at saying no and if I said yes my son and I would have been the one's to suffer as it's his school service that day and he really wants me to be there.

I need to remember that I offered this person a solution by saying that hubby would take a holiday and take them but no they would rather get the bus (IMO this is emotional blackmail)

I just can't go back to being expected to do everything as it is mine who suffer and I will not allow that to happen again EVER!

Rant over...

Bloody electricity smart meter remote display thingy. Keeps rebooting and not displaying what I want it to. (Current watts) Going to dump the piece of crap in the lecky cupboard uncharged and dead. I'd like to execute it with a large lump hammer but guess I can't.

I have my own monitor that gives far more info.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thank goodness I have not got one ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

To be fair, the basic smart meter installation (Electric) is pretty accurate as cross checked on my NAMAS traceable kit. It's the consumer display part that is total rubbish.

It'll die in the cupboard. Good riddance.

The wireless doorbell has given up the ghost... so I've had to buy a new one.
It's going to be delivered today... I just hope I hear them knock...

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Is anybody there?

Knock once for yes, twice for no... ;)

We've been without hot water and central heating since last Wednesday, had to wait for spare parts for boiler brrrrrrrrrrrrrr! We are now £220 worse off. Next Mr T thinks he has shingles, his 1.30pm Doctor's appointment will confirm...............they say things come in 3s. :erm::(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Thank you Den and Nash. Thankfully Mr T does not have shingles. We have a nice warm house again and I won £50 on the bandit, happy, happy. :):):)
