    Baltic, had the heater on full blast for most of the day.
    -2 on the way home but, again, that wee bit of brightness although it didn't last the 20 minutes of the drive home. 
    Add in my "man flu" hasn't cleared and I'm feeling a bit fed up.
    Another 3 guys in the work were off today, I'm definitely in for employee of the year.

    Sounded a bit windy when I let the dog out a wee while ago but dry.
    Monday's are shit.
    Murrray on the TV, I'd prefer to snuggle up and watch it but that's no happening.

    Chilly out earlier, that wind would have cut you in two.
    I've just looked at the forecast for the rest of the week and it's not looking good.
    Not to go over 3 deg all week.
    Hey @Cookie Monster, how's the new car?

    Not a bad morning although still on the chilly side but no sign of frost.
    I was a brave sodjer last night, still got a bad cough but as we'd arranged for a family get together with The 1% Club game being the highlight of the evening.
    Have to admit, I didn't win, must be the effects of the flu.

    Indeed.
    We'll be running the Firestick to watch Netflix, Amazon Prime and my IPTV so, overall, the requirements are considerably less than that whopping 270Mb (I don't get that in the house) you were getting. 
    Anyhow, that'll be one of many things we'll need to overcome in the next few months.
    We're heading down to Glasgow in a couple of weeks to have a wander around the Scottish Caravan Show to get a few ideas and, no doubt, Mrs Faraway will end up purchasing some stuff.

    Got a phone call yesterday from their tech guy who explained that as we wanted the TV to work "off grid" as well as when we were "hooked up" at an official camp he'd install a certain type of TV that can work off the leisure battery in the motorhome.
    I'm sure this will be one of many things that I wasn't aware of.
    He also mentioned I can run my Firestick, including IPTV, depending on the strength of the WIFI signal.

    Still on Tiree?
    Beautiful morning here, although frosty.
    One of my workmates has had the flu this week and it hit me yesterday afternoon, shivering, aching joints and a honking bad headache.
    As we've got people coming over tonight I hammered the flu capsules, went to bed with the electric blanket full on and slept it off.
    Still got a cough but, hopefully, passed the worst.

    Aye, -3 deg this morning, windows required scraping and quite a few banks of fog made it a slower drive than normal.

    Looks like the frost/ice has returned as the cars are looking like they'll need scraped.
    Never mind, it's Friday, early finish and we're almost half way through the month already.
    I did notice it was slightly brighter as I left work last night.

    After reading, and re-reading the email I received today there is no mention that I would need to pay to sort the issues.
    In fact I've just had a phone call from the owner who assures me there will be no cost, the email was just for information purposes, although I had no need to know that there was an issue.
    He also informed me a new oven has been fitted as the original was showing signs of wear & tear.
    All good for picking it up next Friday.
    The next worry is driving the thing and parking it in the driveway.

    Hope you get sorted.

    That's pretty much how I see it.
    They were advertised as part of the items included and, as such, should be in working order.

    If it was advertised as having it then (in my opinion) you would be right to assume that it is working.  Otherwise they could just stick a new one, still in the box, inside the vehicle and claim that it has one.
     
    Just tell them to fix it before you collect it, as it was obviously priced assuming that it was working.

    The wording of the email indicates that the system has just been checked and these issues have came to light.
    I would have thought this would have been checked when they received it from the previous owner.

    If the wording of the email states, or implies, that you were previously told that it was working, then you should be able to get your deposit back or have the system fixed before you collect it.

    Since I can't update the original thread this will have to do.
    Received an email today informing me that, as things stand, the TV and satellite system no worky.
    Now I'm not keen to fork out any additional cash as the satellite system and TV were sold, verbally, in working order.
    I'm just contemplating my response. 🙄

    Currently on Tiree and for the first time in my memory(over 50 years) having to scrape ice off the car windows, our cottage is right by the shore so the salt air usually takes care of it.
