Other What Makes Your Life, Meh?

can i just say ID mobile... they are beyond crap... Updated the App so they make you re register as apparently transfering peoples accounts is to hard... The send you a text to verfy doest work... and when you call they wont speak to you if they cant see your online account... So calling bank tomorrow to see if they can hold the Payment that will make someone talk to me then ! for nearly 2 months at home had 0 signal so its unseable and all i get told is they share 3's network so they cant really do much... I dont pay 3 i pay ID. i am trying to find out how long i have left on this contract as im going to buy a few phone then just go with EE or Tesco with a Data unlimited Sim only thing...

 

My wife and I have been with Tesco Mobile for several years, so far no problems at all. They use O2’s network.

 

How expensive flash memory got. This means I will probably put my first build in 18 years on hold (been exclusively using laptops since 2007)

 

Sorting through a bunch of stuff that I need to sell, give away, etc, before we move house.

Started creating a thread 'ere for the Viture One AR specs I bought earlier this year.... and had to stop half-way through because now I don't want to get rid of them... but I know I probably won't use them... but they're really cool and I don't want to part with them...

 

Had ID for backup broadband for a while. Apparently cancelling rolling monthly was a gross enough offence to ding my credit score. Thanks ID

 

As soon as i can cancel them i plan to.. i think december but i cant see anywhere it lets me view how long is left on my contract. The website says it shows you but it doesnt. They are dixons carphones own thing and i only got it as when i left there a staff memeber helped get me a phone cheap. But its been crap network. 0 signal at work and at home. They tried to blame the phone till they did a test on stuff and was proven wrong. They wont comp me or even let me end early despite the fact i cannot use there network in the 2 primary locations i got it for

 

Vehicle recall for my 3 series starter motor....

Local service centre closed a while ago now so a good hour or so trip to get it replaced when they make arrangements.

 

We had a near miss with the Stellantis airbag recall, for Citroën C3 and DS3. We changed our car only a week before we received a letter about the recall and, only about two weeks before the "stop drive" order was made. Better still, the recall and stop drive, did not apply to the C3 Picasso we have now.

 

nasty issues with my legs, since august each visit to the GP meant being rushed to A&E only to be told all is fine when one look at both my legs shows other wise.

not being able to drive the car or take my motorcycle for spin is doing a mental number on me. i have got to the point where i just want to get some projects done

 

Another week passes and we’re still no further forward with the enquiries. Apparently, the solicitor was off ill for part of the week and hasn’t had a chance to review them yet. She’s set aside some time to look at them early next week, so it’ll probably be Wednesday before we hear anything.

Nobody can help being off unwell, but it’s frustrating that I’m the one constantly chasing for updates — nothing seems to be forthcoming unless I reach out, or even when I send emails. I’m just hoping there’s nothing further she needs to go back on, because at this stage a completion before the end of November is looking pretty unlikely.

Yet again, we wait…

 

Decided to leave my work phone in the office as I rarely use it...

...and today the Authenticator app decides is a good time to rear its head.

Oh well, there are things I can get on with that have been a bit neglected.

 

I put mine on my personal phone because of that, got tired of carrying a work phone that I never use

 

Aaaaaaaaand it’s gone.

Because…

No, dear reader, the mortgage company’s valuation did not agree with the asking price, their valuation is £30k lower. Not really a lot we can do in terms of “shopping around” for mortgages, we’re in a very limited position.

99.999% certain that the seller is going to put it back on the market.

And back on the merry-go-round we go…

 

Mother Flipping power cut (please read this in the voice of Moss....)

Me trying to get additional power sorted for our server rack before the anemic UPS runs out.... gets constantly stopped by people asking, and I **** you not, "why is the power out?".... how the **** should I know considering I am in the corridor speaking to you and not on the phone to the power company...

Queue, along with other issue, UPS went out before I could get it plumbed in. Got everything set up on the backup (literally V2L from one of our pool Kia's) and then the power came back....

Best one though, 10 seconds after the servers switch back on... "We have no network".... Well of course we don't, they haven't booted yet...

One more thing to feed back to go on the "we will look at that"... Much bigger UPS(!)

 

Is that Stirling or Kate?

 

That's crap mate.

Presumably the sellers didn't really care that the valuation is actually lower.
