12:30 SPOKE TO TALKTALK ADVISOR/TOLD TO CALL BACK ON: 210820

When I tried signing in to my TalkTalk online a/c.; a message appeared stating that my contract would come to an end of 5th September 2020; after which date I would be charged full price for anytime phone calls.

Using my home phone, I dialled: 100; and, spoke to a TalkTalk advisor, who told me if I call back on: 21st August 2020...I would be able to apply for a 18 months contract that includes half-price (£12/reduced to £6 monthly) discounted anytime calls.

12:38 PM RECEIVED PHONE CALL FROM SHARON TO COME AND TALK

I received a phone call from my cousin, Sharon; to come over there to talk to both her and her husband about how to fix he house damage. I agreed to come at around 4 PM evening.

5 PM RANG SHARON BACK TO TELL HER I'M STILL COMING

I really wasn't in the mood to go out, today; so, I basically went off to sleep...been feeling extremely tired for some reason; got lots to do/think about...and, too much stress leaves me feeling really 'worn out!'

Anyway, I woke up, again, around 5 PM. I rang Sharon to check if it's still ok for me to come; and, she said, yes. So, I took my back pack with me/and, my bike; and, rode off towards West Norwood train station.

Got the train to Norwood Junction/from Norwood Junction crossed over the platform; then, changed at Purley; from Purley got on the 'Tattenham Corner' train going straight to Kingswood.

6 PM - 7 PM STAYED AT KINGSWOOD UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING

I arrived at Kingswood somewhere between 6PM-7PM. I don't think the trip took that long...because although there were 3 train switch overs to make...the trains came on time...with no problem delays; so, I only had to wait at each platform for a few minutes...up to...twenty minutes.

I spoke to Geoff about the house/and, fixing it...how much is it going to cost; also, we discussed the possibility of selling up/-etc. No final decision was made...; but, we merely had a thoughtful discussion.

The kids wanted me to stay over for the night...so, in order to please them, I decided why not; after all, got nobody waiting for me at home.

I gave both kids 2 separate iPad Air 2/iPad 4...to play with; because if I gave them just 1 x iPad...then, I noticed they would 'fight' as to who should have a turn, next. I also brought along a charger with me; but, didn't really need to use it...as both iPad's were already fully charged up; and, the battery lasts for hours.

Geoff went off to bed somewhere around 11 PM.

And, me and the children stayed downstairs inside of the living room; where we made some makeshift beds up. Those kids did not go to sleep until somewhere around 3 PM morning...as they were using the iPad's...and, also, running around either playing/or else, arguing/-etc.!

9 AM MORNING/LEFT KINGSWOOD

In the morning, we went out for a short bike ride; then, I left to return back home.

Sharon, also counselled me to use the little money I have left very wisely; before it's all completely gone...?!
