We all experience it, whether good or bad. I write mine up, particularly if some shaming or congratulating is required!
Bosch have a current promotion where, on certain appliances, they will give you cashback via a pre-paid Mastercard. For my recently purchased washing machine, this was £100 – not to be sniffed at and certainly helped justify the cost!
But getting the cashback out of them is proving rather tricky.

Our main bedroom has a bay window and, mainly during the winter, mould grows on the interior wall. There’s some separation of the skirting boards from the wall and there are cracks in the wall – basically signs that damp is getting into the wall, possibly from the small flat roof about it.
So, I decided to get somebody in to check it and, hopefully, cure it. What happened was rather unexpected.

So, on Tuesday, the 9-disc Blu-Ray set of the first 6 Star Wars films dropped in price to just £40 on Amazon. I’d been waiting a while for this so immediately ordered it – I rarely upgrade my DVDs to Blu-Ray but, in the case of Star Wars, I’m happy to make an exception.
On Wednesday evening, I got a pop-up message on my phone to indicate that the parcel had been delivered. Except it hadn’t. No card through the door and order screen says it was “handed to the householder”. No, it wasn’t.

Isn’t that right TickTick?
The time management company have recently, unannounced, decided to restrict their free users to just a handful of lists, whilst adding constant nags to upgrade to their premium service, and filling screen real-estate with options that don’t work for free users. Oh, and top it all off – they’ve raised the price of their premium service.
Is this really the way to do this? A communication to explain the changes should have been the least that way done, maybe with some discount for those upgrading, as a good will gesture. Or even, given us a short time to upgrade before the price rise was due – that would have been good.
