#BlogLife936 - From moi to you

So the morning appointment came and went on time and smoothly and I don't know if I'll ever talk about it.

I was a bit sluggish today, I did sleep but I still felt tired and the fact that the floors weren't done makes me think judgyness a-coming.

He texted me 15 minutes prior and I hadn't even got my lens in but scrambled to get ready.

But actually he was a nice chap and I just explained I was having trouble with the cleaners and he didn't bat an eyelid.

It was peculiar to me though that they didn't except Paypal or phone payments just bank transfers.

I've actually never done that before, usually it's direct debits and even those take several hundred times before it's set up.

So I went to the online banking thingy and they said for a new person they need a card reader or biometrics.

Good grief, neither of those appealed but I had no choice, cash or transfer and I needed more than the daily withdrawal limit.

Plus until the 5th September, the buses are only taking me halfway to the Market.

This was my only course of action. I don't know where the card reader is, if I threw it out, so that wasn't an option.

I had to go for the yucky biometrics, photo or voice. I downloaded the app and the biometric thing was nowhere to be found ha.

I thought maybe I don't need it. I just went to make a new payment and then it asked for a reference number, good grief.

I contacted the company, they didn't know either. The only number I hadn't added was the invoice number...

It couldn't be that?? It was, good grief, why not just say that, twits!!

So it was done, it successfully sent and no card reader or biometric thingy was needed, luckily.

There was a whole load of security prompting, Are you sure? Is someone scamming you?

Are you being pressured? Lol. It just made me laugh. My next meeting is the UC which is Thursday at 2pm for the CV nonsense.

Then Friday at 1pm the new cleaners. Then next Tuesday a follow up appointment with the thing that happened today.

Too many events this week and all draining my pennies :( But I have to keep telling myself, it's about the outcome, not the process.

It will benefit me in the end, longterm. I just have to endure it, until then.

Oh hopefully I heard the binmen finally today. I have to admit, I'm glad things are progressing but I still feel yucky and that's putting me off eating.

Maybe when it's all over, I will feel differently. I got to schedule the Surveyor appointment next week and that's it for now.

I'm scared the cleaners will let me down again, I have no confidence or maybe they will drag it out for more money, like the previous ones did..

I can't stop fretting which is making the pain intense, Why is relying on others always a disappointing let down?

I want this debilitating weight lifted off my shoulders but more keeps being added.

I'm trying so hard to be organised and nothing I'm doing is working out and there's a pressing deadline to all of it.

How much more am I supposed to take?

At least Zoomy sent me a gift voucher of a fiver for a mini feedback survey.

After I hadn't shopped with them for ages. Err it's been maybe 2 weeks or less, yeesh clingy much?

It will come in useful at some point. I'm glad I got to have a grumble.

The tracking keeps crashing and being misleading about 5 minutes away, when it's double or triple that.

There's not enough decent text/email offers, the minimum spend is £80 for a single person is ridiculous, plus lasting 24 hours only..

Then I told them I thought delivery charges were far too high, which is true.. Can be up to £3.50 I think...

I do like that the majority of favourites is in stock, that the lunch bundle fiver seems permanent and great value for cheapskates like moi.

Three things for a fiver, sandwich, crisps or chocolates, and a drink..... Sublime.

#BlogLife707 - Second period of the month

I can't stop yawning, I mean 2 late night chats in a row, tsk tut. They were both surprisingly good though.

The first random, I wasn't too keen on his voice but the second one had a really nice one and was more natural, we covered everything.

He didn't try to spice it up, which is highly unusual but I'm glad. Neither of them wanted a follow up so it's just a one off.

I respect that and it doesn't really dent my ego because there are plenty of conversations around the corner.

It always makes me laugh when they say it's gonna be a quickie call and next minute, an hour has passed ha!

That Hellmans lime and avocado sauce is weird because I feel like the more I have it, the less I can taste it. Strange!

The Sriracha one is so much nicer and has a stronger sensation. I much prefer that.

That's weird I have to chase them up, the other cleanser, hasn't been posted yet and that was from the 11th June.

I love that they demand payment quickly but can't be bothered to despatch it. Ugh!

I had a horrible night. My light period ended on Sunday after 11 days off and on and I thought great it's passed.

Then last night it returned but with a vengeance, heavy and I was hoping by the morning it would have stopped but nopey.

I didn't sleep properly so when the afternoon hit by the time I got up, I felt so woozy.

I thought either I'll faint or I'm going to be sick. I have zero energy so I just tried to calm my breathing and race to the kitchen to drink a lot of ice cold water.

Luckily I made it and feel fine now. Surprisingly, there are no cramps but I'm listening to the lighter period subliminal on Youtube.

Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't but it also helps with cramps. I play it on a loop for most of the day and then switch it off.

I should eat something to regain energy but I don't have an appetite at the moment.

I've gone back to feeling lightheaded as it's nearly 5pm and I've been sipping water all day.

I just did an Ocado Zoom order as I had a voucher expiring and I didn't want to be standing for too long in case I passed out.

I got lots of goodies and they've brought back the chicken samosas which I'm happy about, although it seems rebranded.. I hope it's not spicy..

I'm going to force myself to eat something and hopefully that will spur the hunger pangs.

I keep forgetting to bring the fan out, today is quite hot and I'm probably dehydrated and iron deficient.

I checked the post just incase my cleanser was despatched and they didn't tell me, but no sign still.

I just contacted them and will see what they say..

#BlogLife679 - Ocado Zooms customer service

I kept looking at my phone thinking, there is a call I need to make but I couldn't remember to whom it was, until today.

I knew that I wanted to make a Zoom mini shop and then I remembered they hadn't sent me my late delivery vouchers for free delivery for the next two orders.

Seeing as the Tesco and Iceland customer representatives were not helpful, I had lil hope that Ocado would be but it was still worth a chat.

I didn't wait that long to be answered, maybe a few minutes and considering it was the weekend and lunchtime, I thought that was cool.

I explained the situation and was waiting for the..... Empty, sorry nothing we can do, it can't be helped, response..

But instead he was genuinely apologetic and sent me the vouchers, without much fuss but also refunded me for the last two deliveries that I paid the full cost for.

I thought that was incredibly kind and more than I was expecting, plus it was instant.

£12 off was really worth getting in touch. I'm happy that it didn't pile onto my stress.

I got my chicken sushi, the mop and the pan and brush, which was the main reason for the order.

Plus some sparkling water drinks to try, in orange and apple flavours.

Just tried the Get More Sparkling vitamin C, it's 500ml, 5 calories per bottle and no bitter aftertaste woop.

Bit pricey at £1.65 and I wish the orange was a bit stronger but I highly recommend it, very refreshing and sweet enough.

Next I sampled the Pip sparkling apple 250ml can which was £1.55 ouchy.

I don't recommend it for the value, tiny can but the taste was nice, every so slightly tart but not enough to ruin the flavour.

Purely based on the cost, I would not get it again. The Get More Sparkling was way better, on all accounts.

The last thing was the vegan swedish meatballs from Oumph for £3.50 that were tasteless.

I wouldn't recommend them, they needed more seasoning, or any seasoning would have been great.

Vegan food is so hit and miss, some of it is great and other times, they can't be bothered how it turns out.
