I don't want to tempt fate, but its looking good at the moment. Longer than four weeks and you should be ok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked my current company for a 9% pay rise to stay and they gave it to me so I've done a u-turn and staying. They didn't even try negotiating so I wish I'd asked for more now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've moaned on here about my sons test a couple of months ago which was cancelled a couple of days before he was due to take it because they went on strike. He'd waited months and months for that. Today was the day for the rearranged test. Due to take it at 8.10 this morning. Got to the test centre and they had cancelled all the bloody tests because of weather. He's so upset. He's waited over a year now just to take a test. Do they give you a priority slot? Do they buggery, given a February date just now. My heart breaks for him. On 02/12/2021 at 10:20, sidcow said: In all fairness in Shirley the roads weren't so bad, but I'll admit the test was in Garretts Green and the side roads were totally frosted over as was the test centre car park - you couldn't even see the white lines of the car park. HOWEVER I've just managed to re-book him in for SUNDAY. I couldn't believe it when it popped up. I've spent days and weeks trying to get earlier tests for him than the one today and it was impossible. I thought there must be some mistake when one popped up for Sunday! He's a happier bunny now, he was really down earlier. Passed Edited December 5, 2021 by sidcow 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Nice one. I hope your lad appreciates you going to the effort of trying to rearrange the tests for him!

Davkaus Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I just got my car insurance renewal through, I was all prepared for my annual phone-call of righteous indignation and sticking it to the man, but it's way cheaper than last year and beats anything on a price comparison site. Weird. Nearly put this in the TTPYO thread because they've ruined my rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
