turpsBT really have to be one of the most frustrating companies to communicate with. I cancelled Kayleigh's internet access today. We've been paying for it for the last few years as a sort of pocket money thing. Well now she's past the age of getting pocket money but also her computer's been broken for the last two months so we were paying money for nothing. So I phoned, waited in line for ages, eventually got through and the woman asked why I was cancelling and I told her the computer was broken, so she says, 'do you want me to pass you to our technical department'. Sure I do, I really want to spend £2 a minute to your tech line. They'll do anything to get money off you, the money grabbing over charging bastards. They're my ISP and phone company, I have issues.
Also this morning I came downstairs and saw that James had left me a note on a sticky pad on the computer screen. I would have been pissed at the assumption that that's the first place I'd go when I came downstairs, but really as it was the first place I went who am I to complain *g*
Some advice now. Don't read pet peeve lists when you're trying to write because then you end up convincing yourself that your stories are full of pet peeves, at least if you're me you do. But yes, I was writing this afternoon until James came home and needed the computer then Corey went on and in the mean time I'd started watching TV. My TV watching's sad at the moment because I was watching Hells Kitchen, and doesn't Matt Goss look good. I liked Bros and remember getting those Golsch tags to put on my shoes. LOL, I was a Brosette at an early age, I should have known I'd end up on the sparkly side with that evidence. But getting back to my point. Before that I had been writing and now I'm nearly at the end of a section and I'm just wondering if I should do something nice or stick to my plan which is life's a bitch and things always go wrong ;)
To balance the sad reality tv watching I'm having a great time watching![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
castalie exploding with QAF love. Mouse and I have always loved the UK version but I could never convince her about the US one, but now she's hooked and I'm thrilled to be discovering the fandom with her. See as much as I love QAF I kept out of anything fannish for it, mainly because I've enough fandoms anyway, but when you do it with a friend it makes it even more thrilling. Plus I'm lazy and I know Mouse will find the kind of stories that I love.
