Its too hot for....

Its just too hot today - my brain has turned to mush because of the heat and my fuse has shortened considerably so now I am too quick to lose my temper.

I have been out and about today - to the post office to deliver a parcel and again this afternoon to visit the bottle bank as I had a ton of coffee jars to dispose off - that's my bit done for the environment today (yay).

The washing machine man is coming round on Wednesday afternoon to see if he can fix my errant washing machine - the spin cycle is too frenetic for words and instead of clicking off it speeds up and is way too fast and won't switch off unless I actually turn the machine to off.

My chap (is he really my chap after all, I chucked him out) contacted me today by text so I rang him and thought it odd that the fone has a foreign ring tone. Now I knew that he was going sailing over the weekend because I had asked him to come up and pick up a key to my flat seeing as he is supposed to be looking after me when I have had my op because its not good sense to be on my own after a general anaesthetic but he said that he was going sailing. Well, it turns out that he has had a week off to go sailing and there are only 3 of them on this boat - he has known for months, years in fact that I have had a hankering to go out on the civil service boat Sea Essay again but have I had an invite - have I heckers like! Well, he called me this afternoon and I am afraid I was rather short with him because to say that I am a little cheesed off is an understatement - once again this is another holiday that he has had where I havent been invited!! and yet he has moaned and whined about how he will have to have flexitime to come and stay with me. I am absolutely incensed but I cannot ring him because his phone is switched off!! He cannot understand why I am so peeved because he claims to have told me that he had a week off - I only heard him say weekend not another bloomin' holiday!! Sorry for whinging but he makes me so cross especially as he is trying to get back into my good books. I hope he falls in LOL. Guess, I am in the wrong job - I should become a civil servant as they have tons of holidays, far more than the average joe.

I have a lot on my mind at the moment too as I am worried about my dad whose kidneys are failing (he has congestive heart failure) and so he could go at any time - guess I am lucky that I have had him for as long as I have because 3 years' ago we were told that we would be lucky if he lasted until the winter.

Things havent been all bad today, as I rang the Post Office to say that I had moved (I moved ages ago but never told them about my insurance) so we discussed adding business use to my insurance and I have saved myself over £130 on the price I was quoted by the insurers used by FSB (who have since been told that I no longer want their insurance). I also received £50 of capital bonds today from More Than Business - thanking me for my valued custom. Oh and I had a call about my website it is being moved..so soon I will have a nice smart new one that I can amend myself. This afternoon, I have typed and posted a letter to my current webhosts advising them why I have changed hosts - due to their lack of customer service, I shouldnt have to wait weeks for a quotation.

Its more than sticky this afternoon - the sky is very dark, it is extremely close and we have already had a few cracks of thunder, in fact I braved a trip to the postbox to post the MRS complaint letter, I only got dripped on once or twice but you can tell the sky is brooding and trying to decide whether or not to dump a load of much needed rain on our heads. I just wish we could have a damn good storm and clear the air a bit. Its too hot, I have a joint of beef that needs roasting and I just cant face turning the cooker on.
