Hoooooraaayy!!! The scaffolding has finally been dismantled from all around the cottages, now I've actually got light coming in through the windows. How nice!!!

I started Monday morning designing a logo for my neice's new business while listening to the Jeremy Vine program on radio 2. He had a Mr Herman on there who was being plagued by these infernal PPI claims calls and he became so fed up with them that he decided to record them all. When he asked them to stop they just kept coming so he finally told them that if he gets just one more annoying call he will bill them £10 per minute for all his wasted time. Well, you guessed it, he got another call and was put on hold for nineteen and a half minutes. The company said there was no record of Mr Herman's number in its database or that of any of its partner companies. But Mr Herman had recorded the phone calls. So, stepping up his consumer assertiveness another gear, he filed a case in the small claims court.

And that seemed to do the trick and the case was settled before it went to court.

AAC, the company which had called Mr Herman on behalf of PPI Claimline, paid him £195 for his time and electricity, as well as his £25 court costs. I just love hearing stories like this!!

The frozen shoulder seems to have subsided this morning but I'm still concerned about going straight back to the gym and wrecking it again so I'll see how it is for the next few days.

This week I intend to make the 5 window boxes that a friend of mine has ordered, also crack on with the second painting and make some caramelised Carrot chutney. So that should keep me out of mischief.
