It has definitely been one of those days. This morning my printer wasn’t working, the light was on but nothing was happening! I fiddled around with the leads and ran some tests but it was staying offline. On closer inspection I realised that after my last minute visitors had vacated the room the other day, I had plugged the cable back into the wrong socket!!
Once that was sorted I was able to print out my two T-Mobile accounts to take into the T-Mobile shop so that I could change them to more suitable options. I thought this would be easier than trying to sort it out over the phone. Unfortunately after waiting for about 10 minutes because all the staff were busy I got Mr Disinterested. In answer to my first query he told me that I would need to phone customer services (they usually do that for you in the shop). My second query involved changing a pay as you go phone to a sim only contract. I was told I couldn’t keep my phone number unless I transferred it to a different network and back, which sounded absolutely ludicrous to me. I did query his remarks but he remained unhelpful.
I returned home and phoned customer services which wasn’t easy either. On my first attempt I ended up in one of those automated call loops so I hung up and started again. Eventually I got through and although I had to speak to two different departments, everyone was extremely helpfull and explained all the options to me. I am still however awaiting the sim update that was supposed to arrive within a few minutes…
Then on top of that just before the evening meal one of Mum’s friends phoned in a bit of a flap because Mum’s phone had been engaged all day. So I had to go and investigate much to Mum’s surprise. The phone was obviously having one of it’s quirky moments.
Now I am relaxing with a glass of wine and before you ask, yes it is allowed 
Those automated voice prompts drive me crazy. What a rude way to run a business.
It did drive me crazy especially after what happened in the shop, I was definitely losing my cool! Usually it takes you to customer services rather than take you round in a loop, the only other time it did that was when I had nearly run out of credit in York and was trying to top up.
may i join you, Fairy ??? for a glass of wine

A glass of wine (or two) will always help in those situations.;-) Joining you across the sea. À ta santé, mon amie!
Sharing a glass of wine with friends is much more fun than a glass of wine alone. Here is to a happy weekend, Cheers
Ahem … raising my mug without tea.
The (new) world is brave, isn’t it?
The peace of the night.
Cheers to you too
I am thinking that we have to be brave for the new world
I empathise wholeheartedly! I had a similar experience with Vodafone!
Hmmmmmm infact e for experience – I just may tell my tale on ABC Wednesday! lol!
It still hasn’t gone over properly. I have only a few minutes talk time and a few minutes text but I do have unlimited internet access! When I go to my online account it has no information registered against it…
I am looking forward to hearing what happened with Vodaphone.
Gah, you earned that glass of wine!
I enjoyed the wine
relax, wine is not fattening (allegedly)
and anyway its goodness outweighs its badness
I nice glass of wine is good for the soul especially after a tiring day
