Frosty and frustrated

The last week or so. We have been having very cold nights. Which means we wake up to frosty white mornings 

It really doesn’t show just how white it is 




The grass crunches when you walk on it 




It’s been so cold I’ve had to turn on the ducted, central, heating to get the house warmed up. 
The fire will then keep it toasty warm in here 




Last week I purchased a Nespresso coffee machine for the van. 
It’s small and light. Perfect right?

But the blooming thing doesn’t work. 
We were on the phone with the help desk and they confirmed it was a lemon 

We were told to box it up again and contact the manufacturer. 
As I got it through Amazon, I just went into the app, 
Asked for a replacement and sent it through 

They replied no replacement available. 
So a refund was requested. Great we get a number and a link to paper work to print and stick it to the box. 

In the paper work it says will be picked up
In two business days. 
Perfect 

We are now in day three and no pick up. 
I did ring the help number and left a message for a call back 

Within half an hour. I got the call. 
They asked for the special number. Great.
I head towards the box and the phone cut out 
I’ve not heard a thing since then. 

I tried to ring back, I could

I will place another request today when business hours commence 

Meanwhile. I’ve not been to my mums.  
Having to wait for the courier. 
I’ve been ringing every day to let her know I’m not coming 

It’s been very taxing on my stress levels and I’ve been having anxiety attacks. 

I’m that person, who once I give my word. I keep it 
I know life happens and this isn’t my fault. But I still feel like I’m letting people down. 

Anyway. That’s my issue and I’ll deal with it 

Right now I’m sitting under a quilt with a poodle and having my morning coffee. 

With all the wild weather around the world right now. 
Stay safe everyone. Hopefully it all settles again once the seasons change.

  2. Bother. Cafetiere was my answer to coffee at home. No pods to dispose of. I got one of the stainless steel double skin ones - insulated coffee, and no clever tech that wants to know better than me how I prefer my coffee. (And doesn't need electrickery.)

  3. I can sympathize with the frosts, ours have just started as well.
    I hope you get the coffee issue sorted before too long.

  4. I used to love the crunch of frost, under bare feet 😁 many many years ago.
    Darn coffee machine. Hope you get it sorted ASAP

  5. What a pain, dealing with a return that's holding up your life. Meanwhile under a blanket with pet and coffee is a good idea.
