Not having a good week Judy. Tradesman failed to show up,to fix a door, TNTfailed to,show to pick up my TMX. The window washer failed to,turn up today and as I pulled up my new blinds for the first time today one is stuck in the up position so now I have to,wait for someone to come and fix it. I am not climbing onto a glass topped desk to fiddle with it.

Telstra slowed my internet speed to almost a full stop which meant I was unable to watch Netflix..

First world problems but annoying all the same.

It all sounds like a damn nuisance Gert. I hope they all get their act into gear and sort themselves out.
31 days without your thermomix is down right disgusting.

You certainly aren't having a good week Gert. Fingers crossed the rest of the week improves :-*

Oh Gert I hope things improve soon.
I think it is awful your TM5 hasn't been operational for 31 days. Very poor service and support.
I am so. Glad I didn't update.

What does a woman do when the chips are down? Go clothes shopping of course.

I smiled at your comment re. taking your mum for her pacemaker check up, Judy.  I have a very similar implant, although not for my heart (thank goodness) but for my sacral nerve in my pelvic area.  The battery went totally flat on me earlier this year and I was really miserable until the new battery went in.  I had it replaced about a month ago and life is great once again  :) :)

Gert, what a horrible series of everything going wrong at once.  Particularly frustrating with the TMX.  I do hope everyone turns up soon to start putting everything right for you again.  Retail therapy is always helpful!

Good morning everyone, a lot of rain overnight but the sun is shining this morning.

Don't they check the battery life on yours Marina, they hook Mum up and it shows she has 4 years life left on hers before it needs replacing.

I did have it checked (a couple of years ago!) and I still had a few years left in it at that time so I forgot about it.  I suspect because it is not a life-dependant implant it is not treated as such.  This particular device is a fairly new application for these implants - at the time I got mine originally, 7 years ago, it was only the second one my surgeon had done and I was one of the first five in Victoria to get one.

It was not a huge problem that the battery was flat, but because of that my life was not as enjoyable as it is with a nice fresh battery!

It sounds a very useful implant. It's a pity you couldn't plug them in and re charge over night.

That would be a great invention, wonder why nobody has come up with that already!
