Subject: RE: BS: De-cluttering November; sustain momentum
Cleared some more space in the storage unit, by putting some stuff in with the University things, and stacking the rest more neatly. Found some more stuff for shredding. The bin men took away a whole binfull of paper, cans and plastic bottles.

Then the day turned to waste. Yesterday I found that my digital TV set top box had gone berserk with the numbering. This was to do with the Freeview system having changed. This morning I phoned the makers, and was told that they have no plans to upgrade the software. So I researched things on the internet and went off to Currys for a twin tuner box. They had to process the purchase with paper because their machines were down. Then the thing proved not to connect to the VHS. Went to buy new leads - paperwork again. Still no joy. Took the things back and they found the dockets, wrote cancelled on them, as they didn't have one to change. Then I had a phone call from the card company to check the purchase. Back to the shop to check what they had done. Turned out that they had rung to authorise the transaction, but of course it hadn't gone through, so looked odd. Total waste.
