#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.

#BlogLife949 - Bus interruptus extended :(

Ugh I'm a lot fed up. I just checked the bus app to make sure the roads were clear and the buses were running normally as today for the second time, was supposed to be the end of the road works.

Nope, they have once again extended it until the 1st November. Ugh it's so unfair.

I was looking forward to trying the Too Good Too Go bags, getting a pedicure and booking the Optician appointment, none of that is possible now.

I'm happy that I've just discovered a third place on the app and that is so convenient, I have to pass it anyway.

To be honest I thought it was just a posh drinks lil kiosk place but it turns out they do croissants, bakes and sandwiches, so a fun selection actually.

It would be around 2pmish and costs £4.50 but is worth £12. I don't know if some of these places are daily or just randomly when they have excess..

I also wonder if any of them, throw in drinks or just food ha, not that I drink coffee but a soft drink would be nice or some juice..

What annoys me even more than that, is I didn't have to go out..

I could have kept resting and relaxing but because of the witch, I'll be traipsing up and down the Market for probably just over an hour, the pain and exhaustion is going to be brutal.

I'll definitely order in food when I get home as I'm going to be so sore I'll barely be able to stand, let alone walk around.

Like I've kept saying she could easily just receive an email from me but the level of animosity is astounding.

Even though I'm trying to stay calm, a valid concern of mine, in every spiteful letter she sends me, is failure to comply could result in prosecution....

I've done everything humanly possible that she's asked but because of evilness, she keeps falsely accusing me of not co-operating..

Frankly quite easily, she could still throw me in jail for her version that I'm withholding information even though time and time again, she's been sent multiple bank/paypal statements and all questions/interrogations have been politely answered back from a rude witch.

I mean who will the courts listen too? Some ordinary female or someone in high authority that has a respectable (albeit heinous job).

She's winding me up on purpose. No-one in the history of mankind requests the exact same information for the 4th time I think.

Nothing in my email so it hasn't arrived yet. Oh and thankfully the toothbrush charger is finally out for delivery 2-4pm.

At last. It was ordered since the 10th and today is the 19th.

Regarding the Astral moisturiser and the #6 mud mask which has lasted 4 months..

I'm not sure they are doing my face any good. Randomly it will go dry.

Sometimes it's smooth and clear but at the moment, really bumpy and peeling.

Ahh just after 2pmish the charger came and I found the other in a storage tub, ugh.

If I was cleaning things I would pick them up and wipe and put them down as I went so the owner wouldn't have to hunt for their own bloody possessions!!

It might take 24 hours to fully charge but after I use it will leave it overnight maybe.

Oh I highly recommend the new UK show Lynley, I cannot predict who the murderer is and it's got humour too.

I know I need a proper moisturiser. I'm breaking out a lil but mostly it just doesn't feel deeply cleansed.

I keep making these really obvious mistakes, I left the bath running and forgot about it again..

What is wrong with me? Why can't I focus? I'm just sick of screwing up.

I had to chase up paypal the statement didn't arrive, she said it was just processed yesterday so will take up to 72 hours.

Hmm which means the deadline of the 24th is close. This time I'm not going to call and beg for an extension.

I'll just add a note, sorry it's late, paypal took a while to send it.

Maybe it will get here on Tuesday or Wednesday then I can go to the library, print and send it.

I want to do the Too Good To Go but I know even though two of the places are about 5 minutes away from the library...

I won't be able to do it. It's like a cruel joke, tantalisingly close, but walking half the market, half the journey to the market and then going back walking through the market again, to reach the bus stop, my legs will be too shaky.

I literally have to encourage myself to keep moving forwards even though I want to stop and rest.

Stopping increases the pain too, so there is no break, there is a build up of achiness and soreness and depleted energy.

Eeek I've seen a 4th store, a Starbucks, I didn't know we had one, that's handy if I go to Pret, I have a feeling it's nearby.

Oh actually I remember now it's the opposite side of Pret, opposite Greggs.

As of yesterday I think it was I have £10 able to redeem in the Playtime app,  I might save to £20, not sure.

I finally did my protein tablet for the contact lens so they are comfier.

I'm just waiting for the UC appointment to call..

#BlogLife946 - Too God To Go food waste app

I didn't really know what this app was all about until I was watching the foodie videos and vlogs.

I think it's worldwide and it's stores selling off the excess of their stock for a fraction of the retail cost.

It sounds good but you have to collect it and some of the rigid times are late in the evening...

Sometimes there is just a half an hour window. I think that's silly, people have schedules.

It's almost like saying, we resent making less money but if you catch us at the right time like 11pmish at night, you'll get a deal.

I don't have a car and don't see well at night, so those aren't tailored towards me.

However I've seen some places like Pret on there and that was collectable just after lunchtime.

I should point out that the amount of bags they have is limited, I have seen 1, 3, 5 and you just click on reserve.

You then add your payment card details when you checkout, I don't think paypal is an option.

It's not straightforward but I could get to Pret. It's not cheap but for example, it's worth £15, but you pay £5.

There's no details, it states a sandwiches and baguette lunch. I wonder if you can have preferences, like I don't eat red meat, so if I got pork, duck or lamb products that is a waste of money..

Oh that's not helpful. It has a section called dietary preferences, but all it has is vegan, veggie, I eat everything, why can't it have a comment bit..

I was hoping Tesco, Asda and Greggs would be there. There's actually more places than I thought, some supermarkets, lots of restaurants but none of them easy to get too.

So far it's just Pret. I did see some other apps, when I googlied. I wonder if they are better?

I just thought if I could save some money, here and there, it would be good.

Next time I am in the Market, I will have to see what is within walking distance to me.

I tried Karma but it's not available in my area, so that was useless.

Let's try Too Tasty To Waste It. Ugh oh, server issues, try again later ha. (24 hours later, no access). It didn't load once so I uninstalled it.

I was looking up the addresses of a few places but still not sure where they are located.

However I discovered a bakery that is right next to the pedicure salon and that does cakes and other goodies, which could be handy, if the collection time works.

I'm normally out mornings or early afternoonys, so later than that would not be feasible.

I bet Mama's place just off the high street, has loads more stores participating.

I doubt I can use the app, til about October but it depends when the buses are running properly, if they extend it again, I won't have the energy to walk to these places.

I can give an updated review experience then. Oh something else they offer is a bulk buy delivery thing but it doesn't seem that reasonable.

I guess if you have a big family or buying for presents or Christmas or a party and you have lots of cash, maybe but for individuals, it doesn't appeal.

Iceland had more new things so I am enjoying sampling them, out of my normal purchases.

I can't remember what offers were going, quite a few and also some Whitworth dates £1.25.

It's been ages since I had dates, used to quite like them, let's see if I still do?!

Something else I am curious about is the limitations. Like if there is 5x bags available, can you get them all?

Not that I would do that, what if you got excess of the same thing which you disliked??
