What are you all up to

So sorry to read this @richardandros - all my thoughts are with you.
One of my jobs today was the 18 monthy haggle with Virgin Media to secure the best deal. Managed to get an upgrade in speed and an upgraded hub for around £1.50 a month more on top of the already discounted offer we were already on. However, that's 2 hours of my life I won't ever get back.... 🙂

@milliehull thank you. We couldn’t get tickets for the morning unfortunately, plus it’s a two hour drive, so we are booked in at 2.30pm, but we might be there a bit earlier. I will call into shop and see if you are still around👍
@DSB I haggle the same every 18 months, never fail to get a better deal, and some extras though. I go direct to the “customer retention” section now, and at least it’s usually someone based in UK that you can understand easily, and wear down🤭
@richardandros sad news for you, hoping he pulls through.

@Takethedogalong I finish on the shop at 1.00 but OH and I have booked to look round The Yarn at 2.00pm so I shall look out for you and your pooch in his chariot as we go round. I will have my maroon Cathedral fleece on.

@Bakers2 Thank you so much for your Safe Local Trades recommendation. I looked them up online and gave OH a couple of phone numbers. He rang one of them this morning and he came round this afternoon and replaced the hinges on the cupboard door that had fallen off and mended a couple of others that were 'suspect'. Also as he was going out of the front door he noticed that the lock which OH had replaced a couple of months ago was the wrong way round so he sorted that out as well. Well pleased!
Had my monthly coffee get together with friends this morning at Blue Diamond. Much chatting and catching up.
So sorry to hear about your friend @richardandros. I do hope he recovers.

@milliehull I'm so glad you found them useful. I've been pleased with everyone we've tried from there. I remember the 1st guy telling me that the lady who maintains the list checks them out extremely thoroughly.
@milliehull @Takethedogalong I won't be able to see either of you, I'm seeing the physio at 3pm for my ankle/leg. It's been much better since I put my support on 😉. Id planned on wearing my walking boots to go Sunday but opted for trainers and omitted my ankle support! I was lucky to get an appointment quickly.
@richardandros such sad news, thinking of all concerned.
Been a much colder day here. Murky, grey and cold breeze. Tomorrow worse 🫣
Our laundry room, I assume it's been in situ since 1976 when the detached garage was built and the attached to the house tandem one converted, lacks a u bend and sink. Not to mention cupboards, it has a double pedestal desk so I exagerate slightly 😉. So I decided it needs a sink. The open shelves need to go, all useful stuff but I don't need to see it when I enter.We've had some drawings prepared, now chosen units and worktops plus a builder. Slightly bigger outlay than 1st thought 😉🫣😂

That's a shame @Bakers2 it would have been nice to see you. I hope the physio can sort out the problem with your leg/ankle.

@richardandros so sorry to hear your news, hope that your friend pulls through without any complications.
Nice to read that @Takethedogalong & @milliehull could well meet up tomorrow.
You seem to have been very fortunate with your handyman, but less so with your injury, hope that It is soon on the mend. It is a shame you could not be there at the cathedral too @Bakers2

A different sort of day today, waking to quite thick mist which took most of the day to clear, and it was also much cooler around 9C at most. We went to Nene Washes Nature Reserve where we took a couple of walks along t.he Nene Valley trail. There was plenty of birds around to see, the highlight being a pair of Cranes.

@milliehull will look out for you😁 You are unlikely to miss us with the chariot🤣
