I didn't go into the main part of the shop except to go to and from Argos and then to go out.

Hooray! They have parked! Thanks everybody. ETA: All completed now, thank goodness!

If the situation is the same on Monday then yes Geobear will have to do that. I have no idea why they don't already, but they work all over the place so it probably isn't feasible for them to save a space in advance themselves.

Unfortunately no it wasn't sorted. The car driver didn't return and Geobear eventually had to leave - with their massive van parked round the corner - because we couldn't get sufficient space near enough to my house. They waited until the very last minute but then they couldn't have got the job done in time even had the car owner come back. A space became available on the other side of my car which we saved with a bin hoping that the car the other side of that might move, but that caused my neighbour to shout and swear at me when he returned and couldn't park, though I was trying to explain why the bin was there. My other lovely neighbours have now saved spaces the other side with cones and a pallet. Re people saving space outside their house, for some weeks I have been doing that when I've driven to my allotment, purely because I knew Geobear were coming in the near future but I didn't know exactly when. Unfortunately the original day they were due a month or so back was when Thames Water were doing emergency work outside my house due to a burst sewer which flooded mine and my neighbours' cellars and filled the area in front of my bay with sewage 😭 ETA:Geobear had a smaller van which they have parked behind my car the other side in the hope that one way or another we can find enough space. Extremely luckily and unexpectedly, they are coming back on Monday, so it's fingers crossed all round now. In a bid for sympathy, I will add that this insurance claim was first made in July 2018, following which there have been innumerable errors and delays. The job should have taken six weeks. At one point I had to live in my kitchen for five months or else go to bed. I was ill at the time 😭 And then after it was supposedly finished, the cracking reappeared in the same places. As you might imagine, I have been extremely stressed.

I know that. It is up to the insurance company to sort that out, not me!

They aren't allowed to do that.

Thanks it was some time before the mosque I think

Does anybody own or know who does a grey VW Golf reg CA20 JYO parked in Ulverscroft Road? I have been saving three car spaces needed for access today by Geobear to do resin injection under my bay. Somebody has moved a bin which was clearly marked with the reason why it was in the road, and Geobear cannot park. I have posted on our road's WhatsApp group but I'm pretty sure it doesn't belong to anybody in the street. ETA: I have been waiting over a year for this further remedial work to be done 😭😭😭

Agreed, but do it soon as they may not keep the recording very long. Good luck from me too!

Have the threads on this forum about the Royal Mail delivery issues locally completely passed you by? If all your mail is being delivered daily and none of it has been delayed, you must be about the only lucky person in this area :)

Pre-Covid I returned some Tu clothing I'd bought in the store to the main customer service desk, but maybe it's different if it's things bought online and delivered. They don't collect returns, which is a bit annoying.

Seabag Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > My friend can read the bottom line on a vision > chart, and his iPhone at normal settings That's very good! I'm slightly concerned because at present, being shortsighted, I can read better without my varfifocal glasses than I can with them, but when I get my cataracts sorted that won't be the case. I don't want to have one eye for reading and one for distance, because I tried that with contact lenses and I couldn't get on with it at all. Interested in your experience, Foxy, thanks, but I read a lot more than I watch TV (in fact I no longer have a TV) so the idea of constantly having to find my reading glasses (or going around with them hanging round my neck) doesn't particularly appeal :)) I suspect there will always be a compromise, short of shelling out eight grand ......

Thanks all 🙂

I have some Tu clothes bought online I have to return to the Dog Kennel Hill Sainsbury's. Can anybody tell me when it is likely to be least crowded (and the customer service desk open)? Thanks.

Mine is a Netgear EX6110- WiFi range extender- AC1200 Dual Band. I got it online from Currys in January for ?34.99. We were having issues with Zoom freezing during Zoom singarounds we run. The range extender has completely sorted it. The WiFi signal in the living room has gone from poor to good. The router is in an upstairs office and the extender is in the hall. Once it was set up there is nothing more to do. Let me know if you have any questions. ETA: I have a bog standard router from Plusnet. I didn't need to get a new one. I did do something wrong when setting the extender up, and thought it had made no difference, but once I realised what I had done wrong (not properly reading the instructions, duh) it all worked just as I'd hoped!

I had the same problem, got a cheap booster and put it in the hall and now it's all fine. Will look up what it is!

?8k? I'll probably stick to the NHS option then!!! But I don't see why it would be any more scary than any cataract op, it would just be inserting different lenses? If you don't have it done at all, you would gradually not be able to see at all, and for me at least that would be a lot scarier!

Have you all reported these thefts to Oddbox? They might be able to come up with some solution. Their customer service is very good. I think part of the problem is that because of the time the boxes are delivered (for very good reasons, I know) they are left outside for a lot longer than they would be if they were delivered during the day, at least while many people are working from home.

My neighbour told me about these beautiful glass vases for growing an acorn into an oak tree (!) or an avocado stone into a plant! I'm going to get some of the avocado ones for birthday presents. https://ilexstudio.com/

Has anybody had multi-focal lenses inserted following cataracts? If so, what pros and cons did you find, were they vastly expensive, did you still have to wear glasses for some things, and would they have to be replaced at some point? I'm very short sighted and presently have varifocal glasses and multi-focal daily contact lenses for occasional wear, but I'm getting cataracts and beginning to look at options.

?16k?!?!?!?!

Surely the delivery driver is supposed to wait and make sure the parcels are collected, and if they aren't to try a neighbour/leave a card to say they've done that, or take them away again to redeliver? Were they just left outside? In that case, I would complain to Amazon.
