Today i got in my car to go shopping and then saw that i had trees down all across the drive,and trees down in the rear garden too.
This atrocious weather is causing chaos everywhere and so i know i am not alone,but how much more can one take,my anxiety is at an all time high,for what can go wrong really has gone wrong in recent months.
It's maddening isn't it when you need or want to do something and then everythings in your way of doing it!
I lost my temper on Wednesday when I rang the bank up to sort out a standing order over the phone and they got silly over it making things up just to be spiteful and I was so frustrated that I swore down the phone at them and slammed it down!
When I had calmed down I walked to the branch nearby and they couldn't do enough for me which was fine.
It annoys me when simple jobs get turned into a palaver as there's no need for it!
How's the dogs getting on?
Baby is well and looking forward to her spoils!
oh dont even mention Banks,and you are lucky to still have one,cause all banks are now gone in my town and all other towns nearby,and so the nearest bank for me is in the middle of Bristol,and now i've been told thats even going,and its terrible because not everyone can do online banking. gggrrrr
Here in Cardiff a lot of the suburban branches have shut down as they weren't making a profit but the queen street one is still there and the one I went to in Roath on Wednesday afternoon and the one in Canton is still there and the llanishen one is as it's near the business park but the one at the Heath hospital has shut and so have the llandaff and whitchurch branches as well.
Up in Lincolnshire they have shut the Banks in the small market towns as they weren't profitable but the Grimsby one that opens on a Saturday is still there and the Lincoln one is and I think the scunthorpe one is still open but all the others have shut down.
In a little seaside town called withernsea which is miles out of the way they shut the HSBC and nat west banks there so they have to trail 20 miles to Hull for that.
I was wrong to have sworn down the phone on Wednesday but I just felt so frustrated as I had just come back from an interview and had a standing order to sort out and was stressed which had led to me having sworn on the phone!
I didnt get that job but I wasn't heartbroken as it was only temporary and I don't think I would have liked working there anyway.
Thursday I had 2 video interviews but didn't get any of those and one was temporary and I wasn't upset not getting that and felt it was a blessing in disguise.
The full time permanent one I interviewed for on Thursday is a place I will apply to again as they were fair and constructive with their feedback.
I am now 20 plus miles from my nearest bank and that really pees me off,and dont worry,i swear down the phone all the time,the incompetence of so many companies is appalling.i hope you soon find the job made for you,and i know you will.
It's infuriating though when places that are there to help you don't do so!
Back in 2019 I was in distress over not being listened to and had rung a helpline and they didn't want to help me and I had shouted at them down the phone and had sworn then as well as I was extremely frustrated as I had gone there for help and support not for what did happen!
It's a joke isn't it a place that's there to help those in distress makes things worse for them!
Point is things that are silly to one person aren't to another!
Yes it’s bad here in Wales too, our garden looks a mess pots and ornaments blown about everywhere, at least no structural damage , let’s hope it eases a bit as the day goes on, take care 💨
You are safe, that is all that matters. It will take some time for things to get straightened out, trees cleared, etc.
Even Council workers can be stuck behind fallen trees, have their electricity lines down. get caught in Snow.
One thing we cannot control is the weather. We just need a little patience while the people who do these things can get around to us all. Getting more upset with it all will do us no good.
Covid is still with us, everything is going downhill at present.
Cheers, Midori
Forget everything, it will pass
