It was only last week we called out the British Gas engineer as the water wasn't heating up. He fixed it by replacing a worn out part (Hubby did tell me details but I can't remember what) he was at the boiler, up in the loft and in the airing cupboard and while he was here he did a service on the boiler as that will be due soon anyway. This Sunday morning I found my box of pills, which sit under the boiler and thankfully in a sealed plastic box, had a huge puddle in the lid. Hubby called British Gas and an engineer came the same morning. It turned out to be a small pipe that needed replacing and not caused by the previous engineer just coincidence.
Lovely sunny Wednesday and Hubby took advantage by cutting back the hedge. Nice weather also brings out neighbours to chat.
Local election day Thursday. Not an easy decision this year. We always try to agree so Hubby and I vote the same, otherwise I feel we just cancel each other out so no point even going.
Arrgghhhh I've lost count of the times I've said "if it looks too good to be true then it probably is" however I stupidly got caught without doing all my usual checks. It was an ad on Facebook that looked like it genuinely came from amazon and it was only £2 so if it turned out to be rubbish I haven't lost much. After doing all the order form and placing the order it told me a different name would appear on my statement. Amazon sell for all sorts of companies so I wasn't immediately suspicious but a bit later I was curious so went to Google....... it was definitely a scam, I'd get no product at all and they have my credit card details! Stupid! I've now cancelled my card and waiting for a new card to arrive (which was also a long story I won't bore you with).
Friday evening (while Hubby was home dog sitting) friendKK and I went to our local John Mills theatre.
The play was brilliant, two actors that worked so hard to bring so many characters to life for us. Humour and sadness together.
And afterwards friendKK danced getting overheated with a roll neck jumper on and clomping a bit in her riding boots. I found watching very entertaining.

Good week for you really. We fell for a FB scam once when we broke all our rules (don't buy without checking the company, don't spend money after 10pm, don't buy from social media ads, don't fall for upselling techniques (eg buy 3 and price reduces)). It looked as though ti was coming from Frnace but turned out to be China and the bank wouldn't give Clo her money back even though we rang straight away with evidence from review sites that it was a scam. Poor show from Nationwide. Expensive lesson we didn't think we needed to learn.
No matter how vigilant we try to be the scammers get more devious don't they?
