Another laurel hedge cut - took about 6 foot off the top - can see my greenhouse now from MrsD's bird garden. :okay:

Well that’s gone 5 and no sign of a meter engineer. I really shouldn’t be surprised. Since the day Ovo took over SSE it has just been mistakes and incompetence. It’s been a gorgeous day and I’ve sat here like a lemon waiting on them :sad:

Might be worth checking their website, they may have a compensation scheme for “no shows”?

Doubt it will be a fortune, but, may buy you a pair of laces for your trainers 😊

Salut. I am bored today. Mrs G is out with the car and the weather is not good enough for a ride so I am wondering what to do. TV is crap too. I think I may have another cup of coffee.
My car insurance is due for renewal next month and, after checking on line, I expect it will cost me another 86 pounds a year to renew although I haven't had the official renewal quote from my present insurer yet.
Molly is not due for a walk yet either as she is sitting beside me, probably bored too. I might go and play in the garden with her for a bit.
I am looking forward to tomorrow afternoon when I shall ride my bike to my son's house as he is going away for work again on Wednesday.
Right, let's put the kettle on first. :hello:
What is this ‘boredom’ of which you speak?

Sorry to hear that Mo, i can empathise having done the same, its really annoying/frustrating. B*****s should pay you compensation for your lost day! :okay:

I believe they have to give you £30. Damn sure I’ll be asking for it.

I'd get a claim in for time lost due to them missing the scheduled appointment date. And for not informing you.
