Morning everyone

Dark But quite warm and although it won't be that hot later, it will still be a warm day

Up and about, as the dogs ere barking and we were asked to ring the police, so I did and met them and it's now all been explained. Now, why wasn't that done when we went to the police station yesterday?

Our problem has been reported and it's now going through the process and this being Portugal, will take time. Two reports have been filed and this last one will be added. It is now up to the town hall to decide what to do. I asked why we weren't told this when we went yesterday, but I just got the shoulder shrug So basically, we just have to put up with it until it is resolved.

I will have my cooking head on later. Flan for tonights dinner and tomorrow too, also a chilli for Grumpy, burgers for the freezer and favas.

Then a swim.

Have a good day everyone, whatever you're doing xx

Good morning Getting crossing Bay of
Biscay rough
Have a good day everybody

Good morning all!

Oh Jan, this problem seems never-ending for you I hope they will finally do something about it.

Safe crossing Cruiser x

Busy day today - food shopping with D this morning, then Mick and I have an appointment at 3 to sign our wills, then Pilates tonight! Thinking of my friend J today, having her op xxx

Have a good day everyone xx

Morning again

Got back to sleep - the brandy helped

A lovely, sunny morning now and very quiet. They have family staying and it's amazing the difference. And yes, Kaz, it's dragging on, but at least we now know what is happening. At least we've not been ignored.

Mega vibes on their way to your friend xx

Safe crossing Cruiser, not a nice place to be, the Bay of Biscay.

So a later start to the day than planned, but will still get my cooking head on, after breakfast.

Morning all, it is a pleasant day here, sun and cloud and quite warm. Miss Osc has been here printing off stuff and had time for a bit of a chat which was nice. I am off to make the bed, going to put on the winter duvet - don’t really need it but as we will be away from next week until the 26th, we might need it when we come back. The bedding is in the washing machine and I’ll get it out on the line soon. Kellie is in school until 1.30, my first time collecting her from big school, so I had better get on with doing stuff in the meantime.

Good morning all. It's dull now after a bright start. It's warm though.

What a morning! Joe's car insurance expired overnight so we set about renewing it last night (because anything car related is John's department and he hadn't got around to it despite getting quotes weeks ago). Anyway, we sat down and worked through the details, decided that we'd pay for it and Joe can repay us monthly rather than him being charged interest for paying monthly through the insurance company, put payment details in, had the bank authorisation screen pop up with no problems, got taken back to the website thinking we'd see the confirmation and policy number..."this website is undergoing essential maintenance"

Obviously we didn't know if the payment had gone through and he'd be insured from Midnight as there wasn't a confirmation email either, and obviously we couldn't get onto the website, but his car was on the drive anyway so the plan was that we'd get onto the insurers when their lines opened at 8am. I got up at 6, the website was back up so I just thought I'd look and there were no new policy details, just a link to the quote - which had risen by £122 overnight

I checked the bank account and there was a pending payment for the amount we paid last night!
I called at 8, spent 40 minutes on the phone while the lady traced the payment and was then able to find the quote and set up the insurance, manually doing it at the amount we paid last night.

I got a policy number and the confirmation email quickly arrived so I checked through the documents.
We'd included RAC membership as his Green Flag expires later this month and buying it alongside his insurance was £40 cheaper than any quotes I'd had online with RAC, AA or Green Flag. We wanted him well covered as he's planning on visiting Amanda in Cornwall every few weeks.

Anyway, the advisor had added the wrong cover. She'd just added the basic one where we'd selected and paid for the more enhanced one which would see him fully covered.
Called again, another 20 minutes on the phone and was told that they'd have to listen to the phone call to see whose error it was and they'd get back to me.
I was called back shortly afterwards and they'd found that it was advisor error so that's now been rectified.

My head is buzzing now!

Have a good day all!

Blimey Jo Not surprised your head is buzzing

I thought they were issuing a fine Jan, what happened about that?

Blimey Jo, what a palaver, glad it's all sorted now.

Hope you find a new mobile hairdresser without too much hassle Saundra.

Weekly shopping day for us, M&S then Tesco.

Have a good day

The local council has to agree to issue the fine Jen Then the police can do it, but these things take time, apparently
