Naff Day

It's one of those days today. One of those days that makes you wish you'd never got out of bed.

Number one, it's raining. Lots. Slugs, mud, wet. Rubbish!

Number two, I'm having such a bad hair day it's untrue. It's the weather. I look like the love child of Leo Sayer and a circa 1985 Chess era Barbara Dickson. And the hairdresser can't tame my mane this week as she's fully booked. Typical.

Number three, the move. Our buyer is a complete and utter tit. No other way of putting it. By rights I should be sat typing this post from the new house in Oxford. But no. We've been waiting for a moving date for almost three weeks now and apparently we were definitely getting one today. Hasn't happened. Yesterday the estate agent/solicitors said that we would probably move on Monday 15th but our buyer didn't do all the legal stuff he needed to do yesterday afternoon so that's all gone out of the window. I just wish we had a moving date so we could get things organised and have something to work towards. Everything is so unsettled. If our buyer had two brain cells to rub together the situation might improve.

Number four, British Telecom. Three weeks ago Dad arranged for them to sort out a phone line and broadband in the new house so that it will all be working when we arrive. The phone line is sorted (only just) but some complete tool has mucked up the broadband. Dad's spent hours on the phone and is slowly going mad. This morning BT wouldn't tell him the new phone number because it's ex-directory. What? We've never been ex-directory! Why have they done this? And why can't BT grasp the concept of customer service?

Number five, lack of beads. Due to my current mood and mind-on-other-things-ness I can't seem to concentrate on lampworking. The only beads I have in the kiln are a couple of focal beads which I'll post a photo of later on. I may even do a prize draw for one of those to make up for this miserable blog post so do check back later .....

Thanks if you've read this far. I hate blogs where every other post is a whinge and a moan and here I am doing just that but hey, every blogger's entitled to the odd bad mood blog post every now and again, right? You have my word that I won't make a habit out of it!
