Missing Mobile O2 Service Durham

I’m gradually using up the Facebook Archives so that there are now some dates with nothing to use.  I’ve therefore decided to go forward a day or so when applicable.

Mobile missing and not answering so if you want to reach me try the landline.

I had it in my back pocket when I left to go to Tesco, but not when I got home.

I've tried ringing it but it's off (I never turn it off) so I suspect it's dropped and fallen apart.

I've also been back to Tesco, left my name and landline number and looked in all the places I'd been - including under things much to people's alarm.

“Eee pet, are you all right down there?”

“Yes thanks, I’m just looking for my mobile.”

“Good luck with that hinny.”

It’s not a huge problem as I only use it for calls and texts but still a nuisance, especially as it's the 'in case of emergency' number for everything, and has all my contact numbers on it.

Until it's found or replaced it's best to use the landline, or email.

Next job is to call O2...

And to add joy to the day there's just been a power outage, short but long enough that I'm now going to have to reset the radio alarm clock.

Woolerwoman  We've had our nearest path to the front road blocked off for a week.  Something to do with the water supply needed to be dug up and replaced.  Fine, but no sign of any action re filling up the hole again!  Apart from it being very inconvenient to have to walk around to other ways to get to the street, we've missed our recycling bin collection. Not happy  Done today, thankfully.

The good news is O2 are sending me a new SIM with the same number so I don't have to try and remember which organisations have got my number to update.

Should be here by Monday.

The bad news is I shall have to try and get everyone's number an input it.

So look out for a message asking people to text me so I can save the number.

Hurrah!

The new sim-card arrived in today's post (thank you O2).

The new mobile is working, with the same number as the old one.

However I need to put all the numbers in.

If you want me to have your mobile number please could you text your name to me and I shall save it to the phone/sim.

I know more than one Sue, Diane, Linda and Janet so a surname/initial would be helpful.

The appeal elicited this text from Mrs Fitz 

I certainly want you to have my number.  I would miss the odd message as you go through Durham!

The Coven once met in Durham.  

Paula and I went to meet Mrs Fitz off the train.   

She, being used to travelling to Newcastle, was on auto-pilot and failed to alight.  

There followed many mobile calls and texts whilst she endeavoured to get the next train from Newcastle to Durham, and Paula and I had coffee in the station café.  

Mrs Fitz very nearly caught a train going south whose first stop was Darlington.  

Thankfully she was on the phone to her son who was looking up the train times online and warned her in time.  

This is why whenever I’m on a train going through Durham I text telling her so.
