Brain freeze

 I've finished filling in the form.  It was actually not too bad, the questions were fairly easy to answer (quite a lot of multi-choice tick boxes), but some of the questions are really intrusive (I kept thinking to myself blinking cheek, that's none of your damn business 😠) and the form itself was so long.  I started it yesterday and worked on it for about 40 mins, then another 2 hours this morning - a fair bit of that time was taken up with looking things up...details in paperwork, emails and bank accounts.  But it's done now.  The next part is printing off several documents required for ID, address and income verification purposes.  Which means I have to get the printer working - as I hardly ever print things, every time I need to do it I've forgotten how it works, so have to google the manual.  And I now remember that before I can do any printing (assuming I can get it working), I need to change the ink cartridge....I have got a new one, had it for ages, and even know where it is!  As to how to change it, I don't know, although I think it's fairly easy and there are picture instructions on the box if I recall.  And then the next thing is to get the printer (it's a wireless one) recognised by my laptop or phone - at the moment, none of them are talking to each other!

Thanks to those of you who said that as loads of us do online banking etc and don't have paper statements anymore, printed off copies are generally acceptable - yes, that makes sense, cheers.

My brain has had enough for one day, I'll have another go at it tomorrow.  Where's a 12 year old tech wizard when you need one 😂😂

I've been looking at and thinking about the back garden again.  There's a 6ft length of conifer hedging dividing two parts of the garden, it's about 4 or 5 ft high (it's been cut back in the past), it serves no useful purpose really and is very scruffy indeed, so I think we might have it out.  We'll buy a couple of dumpy bags to put all the prunings in and take them to the tip, there's too much of it to put in the bottom of any raised bed and I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere it's too acidic (or something like that) to be used for composting and growing things in.

  1. Good for you on getting the form all filled in. Hopefully you can get the printer working and finish things off tomorrow or the next day.

    God bless.

  2. Well done on getting the form filled in. Good luck with the printing. My son is my go-to tech wizard, but even he hates printers! When we moved into this house there was a large (20ft ish) Leylandii hedge along the back fence. We got someone to remove it. I'd still be hacking at it now if I had to do it!🌲🌲xx

  3. Consider if the bushes were put there as a privacy screen ,before you take them out. Live with it all a minute before any decisions are made. Have fun . Great news for the forms. Sometimes I just need to be in the right mood, you know the one , I CAN DO THIS. Hip , hip hoorah for you.
