To explain:

Recently I received a text from EE saying they've modernised services in my area, i.e. faster broadband as it's entirely wireless. Fair enough, I thought, I'll upgrade. All was well...until I remembered that the landline would be taken out. Oops. Thse days my memory's like a...what d'you call 'em, filter thingies you use in a kitchen...sieve, that's it!
I currently use a service which depends on the landline, so I tried to get wireless installed but with landline left in place.

Nothing doing. The system didn't want to know. I've been waiting for word for a couple of weeks, then yesterday I called in at EE. Apparently every deal EE can do me involves taking out the landline. The only answer is to wait till my contract is up, then switch to BT.

So it'll be next January before they can do anything.

This is the story of my life - I never seem to fit in. Through no fault of my own nothing is ever straightforward. It's daft - if anything it's a simpler job with less work, so why can't they do it?

Oh well. At least my new laptop is coming and I'll have time to learn its ins and outs...unless something goes wrong there, too. I've decided to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to 11. We'll see.
