More phone problems

The saga of the mobile phone continues and not just with mine! After getting the phone working finally, I had problems getting on my home wi-fi. I got on to Virgin media to explain and it turned out that my router was not picking up the phone. So I was told to turn it off and restart to get it to pick up the wi-fi.

Which I did. And then the bloody phone would not turn back on! I tried it for ages, but without success. As you might have guessed after all the problems I have had, I went up the wall. I phoned to try and get some technical assistance and all that was said was that they would take the phone away, and check it out and see if it needed repairs. 

As I had only had the phone nine days, and only had it working for three, this was not acceptable, and I asked to be put through to cancel the contract. In the meantime the phone restarted and luckily I have had no problems since. 

And then more problems with my partners phone. I gave her the old phone as it was bigger than her old one. and replaced her SIM card from her old one into my old one. Does that make sense? Then of course I had to download Facebook onto it. Oh Facebook did not like that! Because it is a new phone they blocked it and I had to eventually get onto here account via my computer and verify it.  What a mess around.

And as she does not use email much, we had to set up a new email account to access the Play store to download FB etc. 

My swearing and blood pressure went up yesterday I am sure! 

Time off

This weekend I have arranged to have a couple of my holidays that are owed to me to make a six day weekend. I will be off from Thursday to Tuesday, not going back until Wednesday next. I have described it on Facebook as 'getting in practice for my retirement'.

I have to use these days up so intend to get as much time as I can until my retirement at the end of March. I am gradually getting used to the idea that I will not be working for the company that I have been with for 33 years after April, but it will feel weird that is for sure. I just hope that I can get the finances sorted out properly.

The weather for those that are interested is crap! Wet, cold and bloody miserable! It has been raining all day, and does not want to stop. Oh well it is January and we can expect little else. A lot of the country is having more snow and at least we have not got that.

Time to close now, but if you are interested in this blog why not become a 'follower'?
