Dear City Link
4 Jan2010
I’m not usually the kind of person to rant but I’ve been reduced to doing so because of City Link Cambridge.
I’ve just typed out the following to send to them in hope of a response after I was told that I wasn’t in when a delivery was attempted…
I have been in all day for a delivery, my room overlooks the street and my front drive where I am perfectly placed to see all and any people or persons coming towards the house to make a delivery, I saw no-one, not only that but your tracking system says that a card was left because there was nobody in, there was two people in the house and no card was left at all, no-one even came up the drive to attempt a delivery, none of your vehicles stopped anywhere on my street but somehow a delivery attempt was made? I don’t think so.
I am now having to make my way to your depot to collect this “delivery” which is going to be a 30 mile round trip because of your absolute failing to provide even the most basic of a delivery service. I am quite honestly appalled with it all, the deceit of your staff is something you should look into.
I will post their response (if I get one)

It snowed overnight in Cambridge and melted just as fast so I wanted to capture that moment, nothing special really

Someone at my old workplace had a very smelly unwashed shirt in their locker which one of the guys decided to create this lovely notice for!
April
This was taken at the turning point in my life, I had just started running and was feeling amazingly positive about the future
May
I met my boyfriend Tom on the 3rd of May

Verbal Diarrhoea
1 Dec2009
It’s been quite a while since I last blogged about something and I thought that today would be better than any other day to do so… It’s not going to be about a particular topic or whatever but more a textual version of verbal diarrhoea!
For those you that follow me avidly, you’ll know that I recently had surgery on my right knee to remove a section of my meniscus (knee cartilage). I injured it back in June and only recently had the operation to remove it on the 20th November 2009.
I did have two choices in regards to my knee, I could have not had surgery and risked having the same injury again and agian, or to have the torn cartilage removed and expect that in 30-40 years time that I might experience pain in the knee.
I plumped for the surgery!
On the day of surgery I was required to check in at the hospital at 7am, which I did – however I didn’t have my operation until around midday, I was kind of expecting this as I was third on the operation waiting list for that day.
I got to wear some ghastly stocking on the uninjured knee to avoid getting DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) in the leg during theatre.
See, isn’t it just so HOT….. lol!
I got wheeled into the operating room and luckily had a very friendly anaesthetist from Bulgaria who told me all about her sister that worked for Bulgarias version of MI6 – I was then put too sleep….
I work up at around 2pm and my recovery room nurse was an ABSOLUTE bitch, not only did she not ask how I felt but she sprayed me with saline whilst injecting my cannula and then didn’t even wipe it away! I was then wheeled down to the ward I was to be staying on, although I didn’t know this at the time, I thought I was going to be in and out on the day but after my physiotherapist came to see me, she said I wasn’t ready to go home and would have to stay in overnight!!
I was the youngest person on that ward by at least 40 years, I’m guessing that a knee injury is an ‘Old Man’ injury!
I decided to spend £5 on one of those PatientLine 24hr services which provide bedside television, radio and phone line, well guess what? It worked for all of 3 hours and then died, all services lost and also no operator to report the service was down!
The following morning I had another physiotherapist come round to see me and she took me on to another ward to see if I could climb the stairs, it sounds easy…it wasn’t!
The physio lady was happy with me and decided that they were going to discharge me and I eventually left the hospital at around 3-4pm on the 21st
SEE THIS IS TEXTUAL VERBAL DIARRHOEA!!
In other news, it’s officially christmas time and advent calendars can be opened now :D
Superpower vs Indie
6 Nov2009
I’ve just read that Tesco are planning to open yet another store in Cambridge, now I’ve never usually been bothered about the whole Tesco thing like alot of people but now, I’m bovvered [sic].
….off topic moment — what the hell does sic mean? I see it in papers, magazines and books but I don’t understand what it means and so my use of it maybe incorrect and out of context…..back to topic….
Tesco have decided to open another store in Cambridge, which happens to be on a road (East Road) which connects to another road (Mill Road) where there was huge uproar about a tesco being built.
The reason this annoys me so much is that this store will be the 15th Tesco in Cambridge, all very closely located to each other.
A Primark store opened today in Cambridge and this is going to bring huge amounts of custom into this area and guess what this area is…East Road, the place Tesco have planned to infect and benefit from.
You could say that this is great business sense, and perhaps in a way it is but it is also allowing for Tesco to become more and more Monopolous (www.tescopoly.com)
I wonder if people will protest about this store?

In from the cold
6 Jun2009
I can’t believe I’m writing a blog whilst walking around a shop but I am, reason being that I was outside but it freezing so I came inside to warm up – I don’t need to buy anything but doing this eats up at least 10 minutes or so – oh well – cold awaits – bye!
Oh I am clever, I spotted a seat in the main entrance, and it’s inside, I think I can do this for another 10 before they start to close and kick me out!
I start my new job on Monday, nervous as anything because I trully do not know what to expect, I also have to cycle 5 miles there and 5 miles back every day – this will be good for keeping fit – hurrah!
Bit of a weird blog post I know but hey!!
Love you all
Twinkle x
