@TfL Ah thank you, that worked

[Patrick Elshen @PElshen]

@TfL I'm not able to download PDF payment history for my contactless card today, when i click download, nothing happens, except for the page to jump back to the top. Downloading CSV does work. Is this a known issue or just me? Finding the site in general a bit slow too.

@HMRCcustomers when I try to sign in to Tax Free Childcare I still get the maintenance page stating I will be able to use it from 10am this morning but it’s almost 1pm, is there any update on when it will be available?

[Patrick Elshen @PElshen]

@monzo the “left to pay” feature in pots is really handy but it doesn’t align with my monthly pay cycle so it’s always wrong 😑 the info on it says it matches my summary period but summary is gone now in favour of trends (right?), which uses the right dates - anything I can do?

FREE BOOKS! Just two weeks until my new thriller The Sanctuary is out in very handsome paperback form. RT this message before midnight Thursday 18th for a chance to win one of these six copies with a personal dedication from me! (UK only I’m afraid. Chills guaranteed. Good luck.)

@theCOOKkitchen Presumably others might do the same, so it would be great for your website to properly process the error and let users know what to do rather than not working (and causing them to need to contact you!)
Thanks again for looking into it and sorting it, appreciate it!

[Patrick Elshen @PElshen]

@theCOOKkitchen your new parents signup page doesn’t seem to be working, been trying on different devices for a couple of weeks now but I always get this. I have an account and try to use it. I contacted support but they never got back to me after they said I needed an account

[Patrick Elshen @PElshen]

@theCOOKkitchen On the page it does say “Do you have an account? (Or you're on our mailing list)” and I think I was on the mailing list as soon as you go the website you get offered to join it for a discount. I think I then created a password as suggested and then came back to that page.

[Patrick Elshen @PElshen]

@theCOOKkitchen Hi thanks for your voicemail, (sorry to have missed!) I’ve gone and added my address and that seems to have fixed it and I was able to sign up for the discount. Reckon the address is needed since it’s used to work out my local! Appreciate your help.

[Patrick Elshen @PElshen]

@monzo Yes, that makes sense but I’d already read that BoE page and was hoping I could give it to you since shops won’t accept anymore. Will find another way! Thanks for the reply

[Patrick Elshen @PElshen]

@monzo can I deposit an old note (in this case a paper £5) with you?

[Patrick Elshen @PElshen]

@Screwfix I ordered a couple of curtain poles last night and this morning I got a shipping confirmation (with empty tracking details) and then a refund invoice 9 mins later. Both automated, no explanation, so I’m left wondering if the same will happen again if I order again?

[Patrick Elshen @PElshen]

@WaverleyBC This page is completely empty, no information at all - can someone look into it?

[Patrick Elshen @PElshen]

@_Railcards I have a few times over the last few days and have again today but no response

[Patrick Elshen @PElshen]

@_Railcards been waiting since Tuesday for you to get back to my DM about my money being taken but no railcard, when can I expect a reply?

Despite all the trials and troubles, today I remember that a baby, born into a lowly stable, into a world with its own troubles, to experience his own trials - all that we might live #christmas #jesus

@HiveHomeUK @BritishGasHelp we were actually in when an engineer came to install Hive yesterday but regardless, when I call this number I am directed to call a different number, where none of the options are relevant - how do I rebook??

[Patrick Elshen @PElshen]

@samhailes Eastern Eye (seems now called the Grand Eastern) is a great Indian restaurant/takeaway or Real Italian Pizza company for pizza takeaway (and next door Real Italian Ice Cream!) or the Stable for the same would be a couple of top picks!

[Patrick Elshen @PElshen]

They fixed it! Clearly my large following seeing how I pointed out their mistake was just too embarrassing…

[Patrick Elshen @PElshen]

Ummmm… think you are in the wrong town…

[Patrick Elshen @PElshen]

Despite incredibly windy conditions the intrepid Elliotts and Elshens visited Donna Nook to see many many seals and their pups! Thanks to @DonnaNookWarden for all their hard work
