Davina's diary vol 3, life goes on... continued

I would love to have dinner at your place sometime, Davina. You make some of the most interesting, delicious-sounding meals.

Only if your not worried about your waist line!!!

Chicken and apricot curry for dinner tonight and the next 4 nights!

This does sound very tasty. Had a few curries with apricots or similar fruits in them. They have a lovely unique taste. Sounds like you made a good batch to last 4 nights!

Only if your not worried about your waist line!!!

It's all about priorities, and I *love* good food.

Well the snow went further north (as suspected) ,good snowy tops on the hills. I have to sort out my housing benefit so today its battle with the printer as need to print off bank statements and then scan them back on to the computer so I can add them to the online form. Just hope the printer ink is still working. There might be smoke coming out my ears when my brain blows a fuse.

[davina61]

Well I just fried my brain, how they expect older folks with no computer or internet to fill in the form I dont know. Not sure if the one download loaded for my bank statements, stupid stuff like we need a letter from your landlord showing rent increase, the date any income payments changed and daft stuff like that I dont have. Still sent it as was.

[Charlotte_Ringwood]

That sounds like a nightmare. These forms are particularly bad to fill in if you use your phone primarily. I literally keep a laptop just for that kind of stuff. But having to scan things in sounds a lot, considering most people don't have that tech.

[Dances With Trees]

spells and incantations have always been my fallback response to techno-glitches. But you need to believe (e.g. Peter Pan) before they'll work. Good luck, Davina!

I just provide the landlord's contact information. They can get that information from them. At least they have a fax machine.

I'm allergic to BS.

Doing it on my laptop, managed to download my bank statement as a PDF and drag and drop it into the box. I bet they cant download a PDF!! Last year they phoned me back.
 I hope its not frosty tomorrow, that strong wind blew the cover off the car so need to work out how to hold it down before the rain starts on Sunday and lasts all week.
 Had a job coming round this morning, was 9.30 when I crawled out of bed! Then I have been dozy all day, I think its hibernation mode.

We got 6 inches of snow last night. I decided today would be a good day to spend all day in PJs and fuzzy socks. I had some breakfast, got chili going in the crockpot for dinner, and was thinking about a nap. But the snow is already melting.

I think I missed my opportunity for hibernation. 😁
