#BlogLife957 - Avon updated tracker after complaint

As suspected it took me complaining to customer services to finally get some progress.

Pathetic!! Now tracking says it's with Evri and the excuse customer service gave....?

Oh it takes 3-5 days, yes tomorrow will be the 5th working day and it won't be delivered, so your reasoning is rubbish!

Anyway now I guess there is a chance both could arrive tomorrow but doubtful.

I want them both to come while I'm home though, what if they leave it outside the door and it gets pilfered?

That's my concern, the cleaners, the maintenance, the neighbours seem to help themselves to my stuff..

Anyway just tried the newest Iceland chicken fries, it's much more chickeny but I overcooked it, 20 minutes is way too long, maybe 15ish next time.

Ugh ok so 3 weeks later from the 17th October I think it was, when I phoned up for it, paypal has sent me the report but as a message and not in the requested pdf form she requested and no date timeline..

Good grief it's in a spreadsheet form so I guess I have to convert it to pdf or find a way to make it downloadable..

Yeesh further headaches. I feel I've been screwed over once again.

Why does noone do what I ask?? I'll figure it out. I'll wait for the 2 parcels to arrive and then maybe Friday or Saturday I can head to the library and print out this nonsense for the 4th bloody time and send it to her.

Then I'll wait for her to yell and insult me on the phone and download whatever the fuck she wants yet it again, on this bloody merry go round and on and on it goes..

I wonder if they held back delivering the face brush for when the Avon parcel was received and ready to be sent out..

Who knows, the Avon is due anytime, we'll see if the face brush comes also..

The randoms are crazy as usual I think one of them stopped talking to me and had a hissyfit..

I played a joke when he said Hello and I replied Do I know you?

He said Bye and I said Just kidding and no response. To be honest yesterday was hardcore cramping all day so I wasn't in the most frriendliest of moods..

If he eventually develops a sense of humour and replies this week great, if not blocked..

P still treats me like I run an 0906 number, SS's spicy hotline, fem speaking...

He never wants a phone call during the day, only before bed as usual, keep waiting...

I wonder how you're supposed to treat your hands when the yucky pain flares up?

This type makes it horrible to move or flex them so I want to leave them be, but I can't..

I'm always typing or picking up the phone. What am I supposed to do?

Unscrew them for a bit, do nothing and then re-attach them? At least today seems hassle-free pain waise..

#BlogLife951 - Christmas menu?

I know it's only September but I'm getting more and more excited as Iceland seems to be displaying more and more fun new Christmas party items.

The latest I have never seen is TGI Fridays cheeseburger spring rolls, where's the chicken ones they usually do?

Looks fun all the same and sesame chicken toasts, not prawns, I mean way different, I have to try them too.

It's currently under the offer, 3 for £10. The toasts are £2.50 for 10.

The spring rolls are £4 for 5 only, that's a bit mean. I don't always eat conventional meals.

I might just cook up random stuff and munch like a buffet. It depends what I'm craving, not usually huge meals.

At the moment crackers and cheese are half a meal and then I'll supplement that with something else..

I am cramping so hard at the moment. I hope the binaural beats help.

As of today (Wednesday) night still nothing from paypal. Saturday I chased them up, it's in the queue, processing..

Today I called them up and he was vague, that it could take a week or a few weeks, yeesh.

I wonder if because I've requested the exact same information for the 4th time I think it is, that it's not a priority anymore..

Today the 24th was the deadline to send it in. I should call the Witch and retell her what they asked and beg for an extension.

This is great ammunition for her, Oh look, the crippled spoilt girl, isn't doing what I ask, I can jot that down..

There must be a reason, she's been on my case for nearly a year, she hasn't fined me yet, it has to mean jail time.

Anyway I'm not going to call because I'm slowly losing my mind and I'm one sentence away from snapping..

And that's what she wants, she wants me to say, Lawyers would have an open and shut case, I just want to sink into depression and end everything...

But I'm not going to reach out to her yet. I can't stand her. If there is still nothing by Friday, then maybe.. I'll have the courage to face my tormentor..

Oh the other thing I am dying to try is Las Iguanas fajita chicken taco bites, it looks sublime..

But either they are sold out or they are waiting for them to come in stock..

Maybe because it's hormones or stress I feel so drained. The thought of all that walking to get to the library..

I wonder if I have it in me.. Not that I have a choice. I can do it, I just know it will take it all out of me, and the dizziness will worry me too.

I do not want to collapse. If I could eat or drink something before I left, that would be better but I couldn't face it.

#BlogLife814 - Witch called, Suspension imminent!

Well it's been crazy so far and it's only lunchtime. I haven't had a moment to eat or drink, my voice is cracking and coming and going.

I was kinda sleeping off and on this morning and then the asmr stopped so I thought ok, the battery on the earbuds have died, it's probably time to get up.

I looked at the phone and saw an incoming call from Witchy, let's refer to her as.

Of course my voice is even more croakier, first thing and I'm trying to explain to her that I'm getting over the flu or whatever it is and she's saying no it's your phone reception.

I can barely hear you, call me back, you sound as though you're in a tunnel, it's not your flu. Which was exceptionally rude!

The latest report you sent is the same as the previous, it's not balance affecting, it's all transactions and it's not what I requested.

I don't want to suspend your account but I will if I don't get what I want!

Go back to the library and do another printout before 2 weeks are up!!

At this point half asleep, I'm not even sure what account she is referring to, Paypal? Universal Credit? Bank?

So I tried to explain that I took all the steps, tried to do it manually, have called Paypal directly and asked for the rolling balance statements but they keep giving me all transactions and I said I would try to do it again.

She scoffed at "try." As though I haven't already been jumping through hoops to get her the information, she supposedly needs.

Through illness, chronic pain, exhaustion, going to the library several times, waiting around trying to get help.

Forking out £33 plus £63 so nearly a hundred quid just to get the printouts and stamps and envelopes to give information that she's gotten over and over.

But somehow is dissatisfied with. I decided to get up properly and get dressed and call Paypal first.

Well actually I tried to do the report manually again and that didn't work and now it was only available from the 16th not the 1st January.

Anyway, that didn't work, invalid date range, once again. I called Paypal and once again explained I wanted the rolling balance, balance affecting report as DWP needs it.

She was furious when I said they've threatened to close my account.

She was like They can't do that! Nobody can! I said it's DWP, it's the Government, they can do what they like and I'm sick of stressing, I don't care anymore.

During all this, my voice is disappearing, I can barely talk, but she's nice in the fact that, she can still understand me and sympathises.

She said Look, this report is simple and is designed to be opened in excel spreadsheet to see the balance.

You've requested it a few times and it's going to be the same thing.

I told her, Thanks for your help but I'm killing myself going to the library back and forth as she won't accept a file.

The representative was like, well that's the best way to view it, you shouldn't have to go to the library.

Once again I said I'm just trying to cooperate with her and give everything she asks of me.

I can't do anymore than that, even though her attitude stinks and she is acting like I'm purposely being evasive and as though I can't be bothered to do it.

So I thanked the Paypal agent again for her kindness and help, she said, it will be there in 24 hours.

I called the Wtchy back and just told her every single thing. Finally she said Oh, I don't know why Paypal are being difficult.

I really need the balance affecting statement and it's just not sufficient, the all transactions one.

(Oh and even the customer agent from Paypal said, I don't know why on earth she isn't accepting the all transactions one, it's basically the same thing)!!

Exactly!!!

Anyway so I said I'm just waiting on it but chances are it might come out as the all transactions one.

She said That's not good, that's not what I need. In the end I said Would you like me to ring you when it comes through?

She said Yes do that as soon as possible and then once that happens, a verdict is going to be made.

That's my news, I could transfer all the money from Paypal into my Bank account.

That just seems underhanded and sneaky. I don't want to do that.

I could just send a partial amount but again, I think they are monitoring it closely, I'm glad I withdrew at least some of it before now.

I can justify it. It is literally for all the bills increasing, tax, heating, phone, water, plus groceries etc.

She's definitely spiteful enough to block my account and probably empty it.

I can see her happily doing that. I was hoping for a better outcome, a small fine, no jail time.

But all this is making me sicker and depressed and stressed and if it is finally coming to an end..

Where she will not be on my back, she won't harass me further and won't make me spend more money and cripple myself in the library..

Then so be it! I won't be happy but I'll take responsibility for my actions.

I'm going to miss being able to take a taxi to see Mama. I don't know if I can afford that.

I'm also going to miss being able to afford a takeout when I'm too physically ill to move or I'm beyond exhausted and it's a luxury.

Plus the laptop and heated blankie won't last forever, they will need replacing eventually as they are old.

The only silver lining, apart from peace of mind, as this has been hanging over me since October of last year.

Will be as soon as she takes over my Paypal money and account.

I can then send screenshots to UC and say, Hi Howdy, this is new information but I no longer have any Paypal savings.

DWP has seized it and I have proof that they have to accept. As I will show the new balance of ZERO!!!

Now that I have gotten that off my chest, I can relax. I'm going to eat some chicken and rice and update Mama later.

I hope the younger sibling is choking on his laughter, pleased with himself.

The older one was maybe reported also but seems like, there are no consequences to his actions either, it's just me being punished.

Well that seems fair. I am after all the horrible one. Yep sound about right.

The almost good get punished and the evil can do as they please because nobody holds them accountable, ever!

Hopefully tomorrows post is a bit lighter or you might have to wait for next week or month for me to be in a better mood.

#BlogLife567 - When is your pamper day?

Song of the day - Say - Shurwayne Winchester/Symon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZWWQ8B8KcE&list=PL_S79tzxwHpPMvQb_ft0dgOQA7kcRZsUA&index=59

I'm just running the bath for my pamper day. I mean I tend to do it all weekend but Friday is normally the start.

When is yours? Surely you do have one? If not jot it on the calendar right now. Thank you very much.

It can be whatever you like, facial, manicure, pedicure, body scrub, eyebrow shapes, massages...

I started off with a manicure, my nails were chipping badly, so I trimmed them short and filed them.

I don't tend to paint them any longer. I can't be bothered. Then I gave myself a scalp massage with the shampoo and conditioner.

Later I will do my face brush massage and that's it. Those essential oils are delightful. I can still smell them on my skin.

Oh and of course the pink mud mask, which I'm quite loving. Once I have a layer of face wash underneath because it turns into a soft kind of butter and is easily rinsed.

Of course I have pimple scars but I will use the papaya soap to get rid of them, well it's only one really.

I got a fright today. A notice popped up on my phone under Googly news and said Paypal in the UK discontinued.

Arghhhh. How was I going to shop from Ebay and get that Buyer Protection thingy??

Where if you get scammed, you get your money back. Anyway upon further investigation.

It was Paypal Here, whatever that is, that was stopping. I've never heard of it and am relieved.

Another thing driving me crazy is the wifi. On, off, connecting grrr.

OOh Mama just called and she said the booties arrived so I asked her if she could open them up and see if everything was alright.

It;s 9pmish so really dark in the UK and I was asking if it was the right colour.

It's supposed to be purple and she said it looks brownish/reddish and the box says burgundy. Hmm. Ha.

She said it's too dark to see properly and to be honest I would have the same issue, so we'll talk in the daylight tomorrow.

Why is nothing ever straightforward?

Aww she sent me a picture of them and she's right, they are like a dull dark purple but it looks even better than the website so I'm happy.

Will probably meet her next week or so to collect them.

#BlogLife210 - The battle of the moods....

Who will win the coveted cup for best mood? Pmt is making me depressed and annoyed but on the other hand I feel quite high in good spirits.

Although this morning after barely sleeping I felt extremely nauseated and was dry heaving for about 5 minutes straight.

I'm just trying to look up how to avoid Paypal or bank fees or whatever the charges are, when you send to friends/family.

You can do it for free but the process is confusing. I always forget the steps in the correct order.

I'm looking at the Frequently Asked Questions and I have found the bit I was scouring for.

You have to do it like this :-

1. Click Send & Request

2. Click Send and type in the name, email or number.

3. Type the amount you want to give.

4. Instead of clicking Paying for an item or service, select Sending to a friend.

Ooh more good news. I discovered why the headphones weren't connecting on the calls.

I don't remember it happening before but I just have to click on the name of the headphones and it activate it, even though it's already set up for calls.

This happens in the midst of the conversation and now it's working perfectly.

Strange but at least it's not bugging me any further. I spoke to BT about whether or not they are getting any new mobiles and the answer is No!! Grr!

She mentioned since the alliance with EE that they are encouraging people to switch to them for their mobile requirements with a 20% off deal switch.

However the Broadband should remain with them because they are superior in that region. Odd.

I did have Tmobile (former EE name) ages ago but I'm not sure I want to go back, apparently the service dropped significantly.

I have time to decide and will see if I get a good deal and free phone out of it.

Last night I finally just went on my splurge. I saw the multipacks of Saline solution and got that.

There is a quadruple points offer going on Nectar. Spend £5 and click to activate it and it ends on the 16th February.

I also bought some tops and trousers from Yours Clothing. I thought I had purchased from them before but maybe it was somewhere else.

I got a pink star top, plain black top, this fancy purply flowery blouse and two sets of wide leg, split flare black trousers.

I've always liked the bootcut design, straight leg is so frumpy looking, especially for a shortie like me.

I'm nervous about the sizes to be honest. I hate returning things.

It should arrive tomorrow or early in the week. Everything should be trackable.

I'm excited. I still need a jumper, a new coat, some tshirts and maybe some new comfy boots but those can wait :)
