It’s a constant source of amazement that washing machines last as long as they do. Ours sounds like it’s trying to rip the kitchen apart whenever it does a spin. Surprised they ever last more than about 6 weeks.
Morning, built my new chair and was very tempted to just sit in it and read over work but too many meetings for that.
Out of the blue someone at work has messaged me saying that I resemble Xavier in Wednesday. Reckon the paleness and lack of smiling is doing the heavy lifting on that comparison.
Morning all. Just got some good news - we’re getting a refund for Albert. For those who have been following the saga: the cat breeder misled us, saying he was fine when actually he was gravely ill. We threatened the breeder with small claims court, and to our surprise, he’s agreed to give us all the money back (and given us a copy of the vet notes, which prove he lied and didn’t tell us everything).
What the breeder doesn’t know, is that we’re still going to report him to the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy, who will most likely fine him (especially now that there is the hard-evidence he was deceptive).
Getting the money back is a huge relief, considering all the vet bills we’re paying off. I’ve also received financial compensation from my housing association - following a complaint that I’ve been pressing them on for most of a year. So I’ve gone from loosing sleep a couple weeks ago to now feeling like I can keep my head above water for a bit. Phew!
Looks like it’s a motor issue, so assuming that the landlord will either have to fix or replace the machine. Considering we average about 10 washes a week, we’re boned.
Usual work going on but nothing too stressy. Got someone coming round shortly to bring me a spider plant and have a tea. Just realised I’m out of milk so I need to run to the happy shopper
Got yoga after work then I’m playing pool with @phantom_heart so a good day all round
Also my eldest got an interview for a doctorate course so that’s exciting too
