Still waiting

I am still waiting for this bloody SIM that I have been posting about. I was promised it on Saturday, and was told that it would be posted through the letterbox so there was no need to wait in. So we went out for the day, only to get a 'sorry we missed you' text later that day. 

My blood pressure went through the roof, and as soon as I could I got on once again to Virgin mobile to tell them they could stuff the phone and I would cancel the contract. They said that they would take £15 off my bill and promised to send the SIM by post to arrive today. My patience has been tested to the limit now, and if this bloody SIM does not arrive they can stuff the contract where the sun does not shine. 

On Saturday we went out to Merthyr for a few hours. The sun was shining and it was just to get a bit fresh air. Not that Merthyr has that much of it! Just a walk around and a bit of shopping and lunch to get out of the house. The day before was damp and miserable and we stayed in most of the day. 

Then out to lunch on Sunday as we do nearly every week. All that cooking and washing up for one meal is not worth it. Find a nice pub and let them serve you these days is the way to go. 

And that is about it for today. I have a funeral to go to this afternoon, or at least I will be driving my partner there and waiting for her. It is her ex and the children's father, so I am just doing the taxi work and waiting. I did not know him so there is little point in going in. 

Have a nice day all!!

A mobile mess

As I wrote yesterday, I have decided that my present mobile phone is not suitable, and had ordered a new one.I was told that it would be delivered today and of course waited most of the day for it. It finally turned up at about three this afternoon.

I got unpacking it to get it going, and of course the first thing you do is to transfer your SIM and memory card into it. (Or at least I do as I want to keep the same number) But no, it is not that easy. I was told that I could transfer my old SIM and that would be no problem. 

It turned out that it would be a problem after all as the bloody SIM would not go in. I managed to get the memory card in after some fiddling, (and actually checking the instructions properly!) but the SIM this phone takes is a nano or micro SIM. And of course this happened to be the only bloody phone that did not come with one! 

So on to Virgin mobile to explain the situation, and the nice young lady there said yes we can send one out, but it will not come for another 24 hrs. A complete waste of a day again. Why cannot they get these things right in the first place? 

So, what else did I do today? Apart from some housework, nothing. A boring waste of a day again, all for a bloody phone.
