a rather daft utility company, that I stopped using over 18 months ago, refunding me £400 that they don't owe me.

The worrying thing is, these geezers who can't manage a simple energy bill, are running nuclear power stations.

It's a personal money thing, not an efests thing.

All the same it's made me feel able to give a token pay rise as way of appreciation to hard working staff, so it's all good.

The number on the scales this morning was a number I haven't seen in, oooooooo, well over a decade

Woke up this morning downstairs on the sofa and my brother had wrapped me up in blankets. He's used to dealing with his messy older brother now

I'm happy that after an annoying week without full use of my phone, my number has now transferred over successfully.

On Sunday, I put in my new Sim as my service provider had switched networks. wanted to top up my phone as although I had free texts, I wanted to text my son in Australia. Of course, the new sim didn't transfer my credit over, or my card details, so I needed to phone them. And it would cost 25p. You see where this is going? I spent an hour on the landline phone, waiting in a queue, till I finally gave up.

Today, I found a different number, got through straight away, remembered that the guy the other end just worked there, so was very pleasant, and was rather pleased to find that my old number was back so was able to register my card without screwing up the transfer.

So now I have a fully functional phone.

It was pretty awesome Watched a 20 min video of her class doing all sort of activates and she got a great review.

I always used to get a bit teary whenever I went to things like that. I miss those days, cherish them all

Got home from a week in Portugal, switched on Mrs GH's computer and it died. Took it to a local computer repair man (who's now going to be a friend for life). Discovered he was an avid music fan and Glasto-goer (though not this year) and we spent a fair bit of time talking music.

Returned the next day to collect fixed computer and he gave me half a dozen eggs (he keeps chickens), a bottle of wine (he makes his own) and then, icing on the cake, two little lumps of brown stuff. He explained that he'd given up for health reasons but thought I might enjoy them at Glasto.

Best computer breakdown I've ever known.

Submitted all my work today for marking. Hopefully in a couple of months time I will be a University Graduate. Then I'll have to enter the real world. Scary!

Made a chorizo and prawn paella from leftovers tonight with no recipe to follow. One of the best teas I've made in ages and going to cook it when family visit at the weekend.

Just seen this and it made me smile. Shows there's hope for us all.

I volunteered at Walsall parkrun this morning and all the "thank yous" from runners were lovely. My three year old was cheering everyone on too, from the sprinters to the dad with his 4 year old daughter who took almost an hour to get around together. Must remember to say thank you to the marshals when I'm back running next week!

Paying £12.50 to travel from Manchester to London

... and charging your employer £90?

They do pay for my travel but not when I'm on annual leave unfortunately.

Besides, it'd be £150

I guessed at the price.

I refuse to use the train since a ticket office sold me the wrong ticket, and then I had the 'pleasure' of a meeting with the old bill at the end of my journey (who said the guard was a moron, asked me for no money, and told me to carry on).

That was better than the guard wanted. He tried to throw me off the train before my destionation.

An old friend has just got a new job. That means she'll be leaving her old post before she's completed delivering some planned training in July. So she's recommended me to do the work. She'll even pass me all of the course material she's prepared. So all I'll have to do is strap on a pair of falsies and a black wig and turn up and say: "Hi, I'm Deb." (Well perhaps a little bit more).

Aw they are a bit nicer than that in Cardiff. When I used to have to catch the train on the one line track, the guard on the way up used to let me on the train instead of having to wait in the cold for it to go back down again.

And recently, a man got on the wrong train and was offered a free ride back down to where he could resume his journey on the correct line.
