Down, & Feeling Out!!!

What is it with people, companies, life in general?

Or maybe it's just me???

I'm feeling really let down at the mo, my internet provider hasn't been providing me with what I thought I was paying for, and all I know is it is taking them months to sort it out....

I should be getting up to 8mbps, but apparently I've never been upgraded from 512kbps despite requesting for said upgrade many times over many years and even upgrading my phone package with it so increasing the package cost. This was done to reduce the over all cost of calls, paying £5 a month for all my landline calls to be free at anytime.

The problem came to light when my internet just wouldn't work at all; I'm having trouble doing anything online even opening my home page is impossible at times. The whole thing just times out before it gets there....

The worst of it is, I have been asked if I would like to do a trial on a friend’s new online venture and I would love to, only this connection is so slow I couldn't download a cold right now let alone a file of any size.
This makes me sad as I feel I'm letting down my friend and I would so love to do her new thing, it would be perfect for me to have fun and enjoy some me time.
You see this new venture is of a craft type nature and I would enjoy doing some craft type things for a while, it would be so up lifting and fun, I just wish they would get a move on with this broadband speed upgrade, they have been at it for over a month and a half, it should only take 10 days not 10 months or years....

I've also have a couple of sad anniversaries this week, first was my Grandma's passing & then my Dad's, one straight after the other. This was the first year I have not had my grandma at the front of my mind on that day, mind you hubby was scheduled for surgery that day. I say was because when we got there things just didn't happen as we expected them to.

The long and short of it all is that he has to go in as an overnight patient and not a day case for the op he needs, so it couldn't be done that day. Clerical error they said....

Yet another let down......

What I would really like in life is for something to go right, a peaceful life, an easy life, no hassle, just for a while, why not?
