We are off for a dinner today at a restaurant to celebrate 2 birthdays. I'm looking forward to it but a bit nervous because we are taking the grumpy relative.

A bit naughty, don't tell, but some of us playing a sort of buzz word bingo, where we all guess 3 things that they will complain about.

I am going with:

"It's too hot."
"It's too noisy."
"[Relative who currently has a blocked ear] is ignoring me."

@Teigr
Thats really bad service, I accidentally snapped my bank card in a car door 🤷‍♀️ I received a new one within 3 days.
I also think you should make a complaint.

@Sandy_123
Yes I’m doing ok thanks, just had some family stuff going on, so not been on as much.
Im glad the kids are having fun In the pool it’s so hot. 

@66Mustang

Afternoon all fed up with this heat it's 30 degrees here blue sky been watching the rugby and bin doing some drawings, have managed to keep the lounge down to 23 for the last 3 hours but now it's going up 24 now. I am doing what my students from abroad told me to do, keep the window and curtains shut till the evening and then open them all night and close them in the morning just before the sun heats up the air. It does seem to help .might go for a walk down the river when the sun goes down plus put plenty of mossy spray on or your covered in mossyies andnats. Where's this thunderstorm storms that's ment to happen? I have not been out during daylight for the last 4 days have not started howling yet 🫠

Good evening everyone 

Teigr

I've complained and they're putting money into my account by way of an apology but I'll be changing banks next week.

Enough is enough.

Teigr

Good evening @durhamjaide2001

Sandy_123

I hear you @emancherry33 my house is rosting with windows open right now, I'm going to have to put the fan on. Or something. I've been in the garden most the day and this evening when cooler. 
Glad you got compensation @tiegr
Evening @durhamjaide2001
Hope the meal went OK @66Mustang
Feeling too hot

Teigr

It's stifling here @Sandy_123,I can't sleep in this heat.

Sandy_123

I know, had front door open to let some hot air out, got the fan on, windows upstairs open. Can't really take anything else off . Splashed my face in cool water.  Got little lights on. There nothing else I can do. Meant to be having storms but that didn't happen 

Teigr

It was supposed to cool down tomorrow but I've just looked at the forecast and it's more of the same.

Sandy_123

I've been awake since 4 so I gave up and made a cuppa.  It's a cooler 23 here today with rain and storms

Teigr

Cooler here too at the moment @Sandy_123.

Good morning everyone.

Sandy_123

 Morning @c_j and @Teigr We have rain I went back off for a few hours

Hello everybody

@Sandy_123 the dinner went well thanks, I am pleased to be able to say we all failed at the buzz word bingo because my grumpy relative was in a good mood! Only got stroppy once, for a very short time. The meal went really well.

Morning all, glad many of you had a good evening!

@Teigr if you're swapping banks I would check what banks are offering rewards for switching to them. I recently switched to first direct and got £175 which was quite nice.

C_J

Morning @Sandy_123 glad you managed to catch up on some sleep.

Its not raining here as of yet but it's overcast today.

Hope everyone else is ok today.

To add to @Jimm_Scope there is an issue with swapping banks to get their rewards while on a low income or benefits as they often have a requirement to deposit a certain amount in the first month or three months or year or something. OK if you have savings you can shift into your current account for a bit but if your only money is your monthly benefits you might not meet the requirements.
