Last night was a busy day and annoyed at the same time.
In the morning, we dropped off the missus’ car for major car service and walked to the city to speak to the Solicitors but find them closed. So popped round to the bank and told them that they was shut. The man offered to contact them onbehalf of us while we’re on holiday. So that’s sorted out. This is for the house stuff.
Then we walked to the T-Mobile shop so I can move my phone contract to them. However due to “computer problem, crashing and tills not working” we waited in the queue for a long time. When it was our turn, they was very sorry for the long wait (same with other people in the queue) - we chatted, I picked the phone I liked and also the plans. I mentioned that because we has been waiting for ages, I asked to see if I could get the phone for free (£20; worth) and the lady asked the manager and he said yes. Yay.
Then we went through of filling out the details, etc, so far so good… until we got on the Credit Check page and it said it was delined! NOOOOOOOOOOO. Not sure why but I think it was down to mortgage - even that we haven’t started to pay anything! So not sure what’s going on, but the lady said there are nothing they can do about it and advised me to come back in 3 to 6 months times. Too long… 
She gave me the addres & phone number to contact T Mobile office to find out why I got delined.
So, a chance of a new phone & contrat is not going to happen for a while. *sigh*
I got very annoyed, so we went for dinner, waiting to hear back from the garage with any repairs required and the total costs. After a while of waiting, the garage texted me, telling me what is needed to be fixed and the total costs. I told him to go ahead with it.
I knew it needed some new brake pads, but he said it was worn out to BELOW the minimum limit, along with the brake DISCS too which is below the minimum limit! Whoops… so obviously that needs to be repaired.
We wandered around for a while, waiting for them to text me when it’s done, we gave up and walked back to the garage to find they haven’t finished yet, so we waited in the waiting room, watching TV. They finally finished about 30 mins later, paid for it and drive away.
Wow, brakes much better… lol
We went to see my mum for a chat and picked up some gifts before heading home.
In the evening, I took the missus car to go to the Deaf Club, so I can get the brakes to “bed down”. There was an AGM meeting, which I am a committee and we went through of who to vote for new people, changes, etc etc etc. Was a good night including working at the bar too.
Cleaned up, locked up and went home, exhausted, but watched TV - Cliffhanger till my eyes starts to get sleepy and went to sleep, turning off the TV - ZZZZZZZZZZZZ
And now, for today. Ice Age 2 at the cinema at 11am today - we’re going to watch it. Hopefully it’s good as others are saying. Then do some shopping for our holiday, which starts tomorrow! Can’t wait…
Going to get some breakfast.
