I think if you had rambling in the title then you might have attracted more hard core walkers.

I read a thread earlier which made me chuckle the diary poster was talking about being a debt long hauler and another poster thought he was a haulier and very helpfully gave him loads of advice about saving money whilst driving your lorry up the motorway...:o

Ohhhh I saw that earlier too - I was really confused at the start but then it dawned on me & I was :rotfl:

Has anyone tried Al*di's profiteroles?

*sigh* treated myself when I was in the other day .... they are to die for!

Unfortunately the tub's too wee and I could easily eat both in the pack at once (but didn't ... honest;)).

Rather nice dinner been had tonight!:D Well, it is Sunday

Popped to Mr T (18 mile round trip) to collect the iron that I'd ordered from the Direct store the other day ..... and it's not there :mad::mad::mad:

Confirmation email stated I could collect after 4pm yesterday ..... not impressed - and TBH absolutely FUMING as it's a total waste of fuel ..... currently on to their Customers Services .....

I think they I had similar - I doubled up our CC vouchers and ordered toys for the boys for Christmas, had the confirmation email and went the day after the delivery was due just to be sure.

One item hadn't turned up on my order either. As we're 15 odd miles away from our Mr T, I called the next day to check the status, couldn't get through to the Direct.com desk in store and the office in the store couldn't help so suggested I called Direct.com themselves. They have no way to track the delivery of the parcels (really???) so just reordered it and I went back a few days later with a new order number for the second one that was sent.

It worked out okay, but a pain as I had to go back, but it does seem a tad disorganised when ordering to a store...

Argos will be able to arrange pick up in 10 mins though as you're reserving from stock they have in the warehouse attatched to the shop, whereas with Mr T they are sending it from a different warehouse to the store you choose

I still don't understand why you can't collect stuff at a Direct store:mad:

I'll be sticking to Ar*gos in future or ordering online. Sorry but I absolutely loathe having my time & money wasted

Right ... that's all the time I can devote to diary catching ups this morning so best pull myself together & get organised to go to the hospital.

Does anyone know how many threads you can subscribe to?

My list is growing by the day


Can't find my belt and my jeans are falling down & no ... not good - they're the size bigger ones:(:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
