#BlogLife959 - Witch's homework/Too Good To Go failure

Looks like I'll be spending the day trying to convert xls to pdf and the fun part is losing all my privacy as I have to look through Googly to do it.

The first one, made it so miniaturised it's not possible to read and the rest, cut it off.

Why paypal didn't listen and put it in pdf as I repeatedly told them, is beyond me.

I'm not looking forward to tomorrow and I just realised, I was supposed to do the grocery shop for Friday and it's not a good idea, but there's not really food indoors.

I have to just keep going, I feel like the minute I sit down, I'll be too comfy to head out. Plus they might be delayed.

I'll have to pick up snacks or order, depends what's available and how I feel, least I can do my brows, unless there is a queue an I won't wait around.

I feel like morning times are better for me, the pain hasn't set in yet, my body is still relaxedish..

Thank heavens my 4th or 5th site worked. Freeconvert.com and they say files are automatically deleted..

I hope so. 33 pages I have to upload and save to email and then ready for the library printout tomorrow.

I just realised after all the expenses I had to transfer some money back into the current account to cover this month's bills.

I have to check the oyster as well. The rent is paid. I need money for the library printout, the oyster card.

Groceries, I really should stop getting takeout or at least stick to the budget ones or use discounts.

Let's work this out, I'll save money on cab fares as I'll be home alone this Christmas.

When they finally finish their dumb roadworks, I can visit the mini Tesco, that will be cheaper.

If the food stalls are out, that's also better value than ordering.

From November or maybe December, it should be easier.

I guess the other thing is, I could schedule afternoon UC appointments to get the Too Good To Go bags but there is a chance I won't get a seat on the bus...

Whatever I do, I feel like I'm sacrificing my health. I will just keep trying my best and will figure out, what's right for me.

Eventually I will have to ignore the pain and shop locally and then come home and collapse on the bed and hope the discomfort won't last or that I don't aggravate an injury.

Actually the oyster has £19ish so will leave that.

This day keeps getting crappier, the takeout was delivered to the neighbours, the driver didn't ask for the code obviously.

Schmuck!! Got to re-order. No KFC, hopefully I will get a refund. I'm ordering Chinese, they seem to know my address now.

Anyway this is what happened today. Surprisingly the bus went straight to the Market and I didn't have to walk..

Although coming home it was a scary diversion, it took me home so I wasn't stranded.

I was astounded, it was an unexpected blessing because what happened next was a curse.

I got to the library and wasn't sure what order to put in the username and password, if that even was it.

Took me ages to figure it out, I took the phone and went to the library website and luckily the password filler kicked in and I knew it was case sensitive.

Then had trouble with the printer, it wanted a code, there was noone around.

Then instead of being straightforward, he goes scan here, wtf, why? Jeez.

Then the bank said, authorise it in the app, that I deleted, cripes, by that time I was bloody shattered.

So he suggested going to Ryman that's replaced our Post Office we don't have.

The queueing was horrific. I felt my back spasming, nauseated and dizzy.

I was about to give up when it was my turn. I couldn't be bothered to ask if they delete the email contents..

The one thing that made me relieved, it cost the same roughly as the library about £13ish.

I worried it would be a lot more. I posted it, wrote I'm so sorry, I just got it from paypal and will see, what her next back breaking chore is.

I am an idiot. As for the Too Good Too Go app. It was worth £12, £6.50 is the usual discount.

I saw it for £3.50 and I could pay via paypal. I assumed and I swear I googlied the image, that it was the coffee kiosk I passed to go into the Market..

Easy peasy so I went ahead and bought it and then you show that page to the vendor...

Except when I asked if this was the right store, he said sorry nope we are.... Perky....Peaky something..

I emailed Too Good Too Go and they said no refunds.. :(

A disaster but it's sent. I dd confirm that the bakery next to the pedicure place is correct.

Now I can visit the lil Tesco, in the future and load up. Oh checked the post and got the usb after all, it was hiding.
