Just out of interest, and since AF take Google Checkout, has anybody else had the email about updating their account due to the price changes?
I'm always suspicious of mails that lead with 'Hello' and seem to forget who I am and then ask me to log onto my account.

IMHO that sounds dodgy;)
If you do need to change anything with google checkout you will do it when you login to process an order.

Grrr, and this time I'm the one fed up with DHL.
I know it's always been DHL but only sort-of. When you phoned before you used to get SaleTrack (SailTrack)
Now the tracking system only works as far as Glasgow, from there on in I have to phone them and find out where it is. Normally when I phoned they would then phone Glasgow who would say if and when it had been taken to Aberdeen to be shipped out from there. This time when I phone Saletrack they tell me that DHL has been shipping the parcels since February (I always thought they did) Anyhoo the people at DHL tell me they can't phone Glasgow because they can't phone out ...!!! give me a number to phone in Orkney but they just know 'some packages' have arrived, and should, maybe, if mine is amongst them, arrive tomorrow.

Crikey and some folk complain that Tescos only have 2 hour delivery slots ... I bluddy wish, this package has been logged as being in Glasgow since Thursday!!!!!

I used the new courier for the first time this week, & is much better than DHL. You can get an awful lot of stuff too!

Mistymaid

Thanks Meanmum, but I can't use the new courier or order the heavier weights due to being 'highlands and islands.' This is nothing to do with AF and is a system set up by the couriers themselves and to be honest, at this moment in time, is a right pain in the backside!

Oh and it was in Glasgow early Fri not Thursday, but I'm still left feeling as if we live in the third world ...

I received my order yday no problems, was very pleased apart from I was ver annoyed that the crackers I ordered were under the drinks so alot are broken into tiny pieces...any idea what I can make with them so they don't go to waste?

Get some unbroken crackers, spread soft cheese on, sprinkle the cracker crumbs on and lightly press them into the soft cheese.

Get some chicken pieces, coat in egg and then dip in the broken crackers (you may want to break them up a bit more) and bake in the oven.
