I mentioned to my Mum a couple of weeks ago that I would like a chest freezer for up the corner to pop my batch cooking in... She just told me she found one in the shop down the road from her house and I've got to pay cash on delivery on Monday...

So not convenient... It's delivery between 10 and 1... If it doesn't come until 1 then we'll have missed 2 christmas parties... (booby group and newborn group) And I don't have £60 just lying around :eek:

Can you call the shop and rearrange delivery?

oh you could play headbanz ! write names on a post it note nd put it on someones head and they have to ask questions that give yes and no answers to guess who they are !!

Sounds good. They'll all think they are Miley Cyrus or Zac Efron to start with :rotfl:

I just hope Lucy gets here She doesn't go out in the dark on her own, so driving here, albeit a 3 or 4 minute drive, is a big thing for her.

They're not open now until Monday morning... The freezer is already loaded onto the van ready... I'm thinking I might ring them first thing Monday and see if there's anything I can change...

I can't believe she did it without even a quick call to check it was OK... I mean, obviously not having a job means I have nothing to do other than sit in and wait for deliveries...:rolleyes: But assuming that I (the mother of 2 small children) have sixty quid lying around 2 weeks before christmas is ludicrous! We might just scrape it... (condsidering we've got to pay for Santa at the zoo tomorrow too) but there'll be no food to put in it for a couple of weeks at this rate!

That is clearly bananas, Krystal - both on the not calling and the assumptions. Maybe she was just really excited by finding a bargain and wanted to make sure it didn't slip away?

Hopefully they'll come first thing, if not maybe they can bring it on Tuesday instead.

Apart from she very graciously :rolleyes: paid an £8 delivery charge... I imagine it would need to be paid for each delivery attempt...

evening all :wave:

We have had a lovely, but busy, day. LO decided she wasn't going to have a lunchtime nap today (eeek) but it did mean she fell asleep within seconds of having her bedtime bottle (yippeeeee). That gives me some time on here before hubby gets home and then get things organised for the weekend.

I have a new dress for dinner on saturday night (this one but in a jade green with gold sequins http://www.frenchconnection.com/product/womens+Dresses/71HX2/Bex+Dress.htm), had a haircut, been preened by a beautician and can't wait for it to be 10am tomorrow when my parents arrive :rotfl:

However, between then and now I have lots of christmas wrapping to do, cards to write and dinner to make as well as preparing LO's food for the weekend ahead. The joys of parenthood!

Having yummy 'proper' curry tonight - a moghlai (sp?) but beef instead of chicken as I took the wrong thing out of the freezer - wooops! I was concentrating too hard on the mince pies I was making at the same time!
