Quite a lot happened in the week, it was an odd week of everything that could go wrong, did in fact go very, wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The flat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wednesday last week was amazing. I had the call about the flat and most importantly they said it was all signed off and ready to sign up. They sent through some paperwork and a request for the first weeks rent. Not a problem, paid, filled everything in and then arranged to meet on Friday at 12pm. It was cold. The wind strong. But I got an Uber from the motel to the flat which got me there for 11.45am. Waited till 12.15pm then texted the housing guy. Nothing. 12.30pm and gave him a ring. &#8220;Oh you are at the property! I asked the lettings team to call you this morning as a mistake was made. The property isn&#8217;t ready!&#8221;. Awesome. &#8220;Are you taking the piss? I&#8217;ve been stood in the freezing cold for 45mins and now need to call an taxi, \u00a312 one way.&#8221; He apologised a lot. I got back to the motel and face planted into the bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I emailed a summary of the events, how its affected my mental health, how its soul destroying being here and it gets worse each day. That I would like to make a formal complaint. I got an email back on Friday saying sorry, followed up with a phone call from the manager. She was apologetic, said that they will progress the complaint up the chain and that as a sorry you can have a gift voucher for \u00a350. I asked if it was a bribe and she said no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are supposed to call me today (Wednesday) to let me know the new date. Hopefully it won&#8217;t be something like a year. I did say to the manager that I wanted an exact date, what needs to be done and if I can move in while they carry out the work. That I wouldn&#8217;t mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The charity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday I had an email from the charity that I do refurbishment work for. So old laptop comes in, I clean and sort then its given to a family or person in need. I think I explained it better in an earlier post. Well anyway, I would volunteer my Tuesdays &amp; Thursdays to sorting out any bits, arranging collections and drop offs. Well, they haven&#8217;t managed to secure funding and are shutting down the digital side of things. Bleh. I was quite upset as I enjoyed helping people and putting my skills to good use. Tomorrow I&#8217;ll start doing some research into other projects and see if I can link in with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blah<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Had R round on Saturday, we went into town to the museum and had an awesome daddy daughter day. So something good did happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/frogsareevil.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/1f4bb-img_0221.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/frogsareevil.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/1f4bb-img_0221.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2957\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello.
