Keep getting emails from "HMRC" saying I'm due a tax rebate. A few £100 - clever ****ers, not enough to initially think it's bollocks, but as I'm PAYE and their website lets you know they don't inform people by email, it's quite rightly dumped into the dustbin.

I got a genuine refund - by post.

I did get one when I was 17...if I remember correctly I had to apply for it - but these scammers are getting more devious and it's obvious why less savvy people get caught out. No mention of a rich uncle in Uganda!

Maybe they've all accounted for their $20 million!

I won second prize in a beauty contest.

2nd prize isn't bad!....

I knew that Groupon offer of a "back sack & crack wax" would finally pay dividends! :smile:

In the big scheme of things, I think you did alright, after all Charlie Chaplin came 3rd in a Charlie Chaplin look a like competition, & dolly Parton also lost out in a similar look a like competition to a drag Queen!

.... Now I think about, I do have to ask, did you lose out on first place in a beauty competition to a Drag Queen?? :hilarious:

Edit.... In hindsight, I would rather not know the answer!
 
Waiting for a couriered parcel. Sheds full of emails with regular updates from the parcel sender. Full tracking available for my parcel, they all raised my expectations. Just had an email from Yodel, my parcel is out for delivery and will be with me by 7:00 pm this evening. Why not just tell me that in the first place, muppets.

Yodel. Just absolutely dreadful.
 
Mobile phone speaker has died, which means unless I have headphones or put it on loudspeaker i can't hear nuffink. Pain in the arse, so I did a factory reset as recommended, which didn't work so it'll have to go off - however I took my SIM out with all my music and photos on, thinking it'll just pop back in when it returns turns out that the device no longer recognises it and it'll have to be formatted. :angry:

My music is backed up many times so no loss, but I'll lose as few photos (unless they're in a cloud?)

The delivery driver has died. His funeral will be Monday, between 08:00 and 19:30 :smile:

Fixed that for you.
 
Parcel update - Tracking states there are 46 parcels for delivery before mine, I feel comforted by that knowledge......Door bell has just rung and I get a bit excited.........bloke standing there says he was just passing in his lorry and noticed that the pointing on the side of the eaves could do with replacing did I want him to do it? FFS

Maybe, but it was nice of him to offer to go to the trouble and expense of fixing it for you.
 
I've been Yodelled! I didn't have to sign for anything as the bloke ran down the path, put the delivery in my hand and ran off again. Deadlines, eh? Anyway, I'm sorted.
 
I come home to clean a filthy cooker, a rubbish bin where the bag has split and decides to empty its contents all over the floor and to top it all off, my cat decides to rip a poor innocent starling apart, putting feathers absolutely everywhere. :angry:
