Random Irritations

I did all that while using Uber Eats today and it still didn't advance my order in the app, i.e it didn't work. Did it twice and it still wouldn't confirm the order.

With the Starling Bank app, you are asked to approve the purchase through the app or sometimes enter a 6 digit number it's created.
Barclaycard and Halifax bank text you a 6 digit code to enter.
I suspect you may not have given your bank your current mobile number, either that or HSBC aren't worth bothering with

Nope, definitely not an HSBC problem. I've been receiving the texts with the 6 digit codes from HSBC when I've been making online purchases. It's a pain in the backside if I'm offshore with no phone signal and want to buy something. Have to get Mrs Colch to order it from home.

I feel your pain.

The almost 5 year old is a doddle

The twins (1.5 years) have just decided to get a bit easier but randomly they decide it's time to be completely awake.

You’re going to be in trouble soon with the lighter evenings. Kids logic, if it’s not dark it isn’t bedtime. Good luck.

Going through a mummy obsessed phase at the minute. I get the full range of Daddy go away, to her eventually calming down and telling me she loves me. It’s a lovely process that takes about an hour.

Took a while for the eldest to grow out of that lol

People doggedly queuing in the two (stationary) inside lanes of the motorway, while over a mile of third lane lies empty before the roadworks that are closing it. Caused a big delay on the roundabout of the joining junction.

And yes. When I joined, I correctly used the outside lane.

I was about to bemoan the fact that the DVLA don't send a reminder that your MOT is due, but then saw your post. I've never noticed the reminder box you mention. Mind you, I renew my road tax online so don't inspect the form in detail. I'm pretty sure that if such an option was offered when renewing online I'd have seen it - which I haven't.

Google MOT reminder

Druids Golf. Again.

Despite unsubscribing to comms on multiple occasions and emailing them to ask them to stop, as I would not be purchasing any more of their cheap tat. I’m still getting messages from them. Grrr

For all of you guys forgetting MOT etc, a friend of mine created an app that even in free mode will remind you of your MOT. Also it's good for checking random cars that have annoyed you etc!!

Its called 'Vehicle Smart'

Simple enough to Block them or declare them to be Spam - at least in Gmail.

Just turned on the TV and Eastenders happened to be on. Watched for about 20 seconds. OMG, what a depressing program.

Sounds like that could be an ideal drop to install a wet room?
