Miscellaneous stuff

[wiseheart]

Firstly, I wanted to thank everyone who sent me virtual hugs re: my previous entry. You are very kind, and it did me a wealth of good, after today, when I had to run my second round in the argument between Vodafone and the bank, pointing fingers at each other and trying to prove that the other one is at fault for my money not arriving at the former. I'm really fed up with Vodafone, and I think talking to them via phone won't work, so I'm going to their actual office next week with all my papers and won't leave until they find the mistake and correct it. So far, it took me twenty minutes on the phone yesterday and a personal visit at the bank today, and I'm still not sure that everything will work out in the end. *grrrrr!*

The good news is, however, that at the 2nd attempt (and visiting a different Lidl) I actually got the cookie cutters I wanted. They are here, the 2nd and 4th pic, respectively. I still didn't find the stamp set (seen on the 3rd pic), but I haven't given up just yet. There is another Lidl within reach, perhaps I'll get lucky. If not, it isn't too bad, either. I already have one stamp set, with different motifs, that will serve, if needs must be.

Mum offered to cook today, so we were both run ragged in the early afternoon. Still, I did squeeze in a bit of crafting in front of the telly. The track is finished, and I've cut out the locomotive and its two wagons, and I've also selected the buttons that will serve as wheels. The colours are a bit... err... loud, but for a 2-year-old boy it won't be too bad, I hope.

Ugh @ the Vodafone hassle. Hope you can sort it next week.

Yeah, me, too. *fingers crossed*

Good luck with Vodafone, it sounds like such a mess

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

It is! Ever since they took over from UPC, it is one mess after another.

OMG! {{{hugs}}}
Loud colors are fun. :)

Sometimes... :)

New cookie cutters are always a treat :)

They are a terrible addiction, which I don't even intend to fight. *g*

Children love loud, primary colours. It will also help with colour identification. I missed your entry re Vodafone, but having gone through similar arguments in the past, I understand your frustrations and I hope all goes well with your confrontation today.

I decided not to argue with them via phone but go to their nearest shop on Monday, put all the papers under their nose and demand that they clear up their own mess. We'll see if it works.

Belated hugs to you as you remember your beloved Grandfather.

Your craft projects sound fantastic. Good luck finding the stamp set you're looking for.

Thanks. Quiet book project is making headway — or it would if I hadn't started making Christmas cards at the same time. Plus, there is picowrimo. I wonder how I had so much time for everything while I was still working.

Now I am in love with that stamp set! I hope the hassle with Vodafone will be over soon!

The stamp set looks great, doesn't it? I hope I'll find it eventually, but if I don't, that's OK, too. I already have one set, I'm just a hoarder by nature. *g*

I'm sorry — I hadn't realised I hadn't read my FList for a few days, and that you are still having problems with vodaphone — how annoying and frustrating. I do hope it can all be finally resolved quickly, they have given you such a run-around .
