Things That Gladden The Heart

email from my dental insurance telling me I'm getting an amazon e-voucher as compensation for loss of access to dentists.

I await - but I am not holding my breath in expectation of much more than a few quid. I didn't ask but obviously plenty have - and so...but a bit like finding a tenner in a jacket not worn for a while. :)

Not sure I get this? I've been 3 times since October (plus a visit to the hygenist) and have another appointment next week.
 
My stepdad, who's in his 80's, getting his first vaccine jab today. Just need to wait for my mum to get her's and we might actually be able to go and visit and actually go in her house in a couple of months time rather than standing in the garden.

Hearing the news this morning that those 70 & over will from today, start getting their invitation to have a vaccination. Then hearing that Mrs B's best friend (who's 73) got a text today inviting her to book her jab and has got a slot for tomorrow. To me, seems to indicate things are progressing quite well on that front ...

I agree, but there are one or two strange anomalies. Today, my SIL has received a text giving her a slot for tomorrow .
Good. However, her husband who is receiving regular prostate cancer treatment, and is older than her, has heard nothing!?

Watching this morning all the happy tv news reporters from across the pond, very refreshing and optimistic.

I spent some of yesterday on calls with my colleagues on both the east and west coast through parts of the inauguration and the general lift in mood was joyous.

Politics though. ?‍♂️
 
Broadband contract running out. Phoned up Plusnet ready to give it all the 'reduce the cost or we're leaving' spiel. But it turns out simply phoning them was all it took to reduce our price by £7 a month when it renews next month. Fair enough.
 
Virgin TV bundle, Sky& BT Sport contract costing £100 pm just ran out so approached Sky & got same for £70.
They informed Virgin re me moving & next day Virgin came back with a £50 deal fo 18 months. Not before time as I've been with them for 26 years.
