    Agree with Lucky and let's hope h3llcow is in there when it does

    Annoying about your mat. One of my Christmas orders has been stolen off delivery driver's van. annoyingly its a personalised present for DGD1, which cannot be replaced. I've ordered a substitute as bought same for DGD2 and similar for DGS but they can't guarantee delivery before Christmas. So annoying, why pack 2 together and 1 seperate and why oh why would someone want to steal it. It'll have no value to anyone else because of the engraving

    It is very much the downside of online shopping. Very annoying for you, why do they separate up the order? Surely it costs more in postage to send more packages? My mat is still missing in transit too!

    Thanks to Caz and her sending me a cat harness I attempted to take Colin out for a walk. He just shook with fear so I carried him back in. Poor lad had his tail right between his legs and was visibly shaking :( I'll leave it another week or so. Funnily enough he's been sitting by the back door on and off ever since!

    The last shift at the coffee shop was uneventful, so much so that nobody even said goodbye to me :rotfl:rude lot! I won't miss them either! I'll work the extra shift on Sunday and actually earn more, hmmm there doesn't seem to be a two finger smilie anywhere....

    I put out my solar garden lights today. It gets very dark by the back door, I'm thinking of ordering another set of three for the steps. I have the small square 'ice block' lights so it won't look too over-blinged. Not that I mind I love fairy lights in the garden. In the summer I drape them through the plants and they look amazing.

    I'll be off to work shortly, just trying to decide what to wear *translation* what have I got that's clean and doesn't need ironing :rotfl:

    It's their loss. I'm sure that your regular customers will miss you and maybe take their custom elsewhere. You gain peace of mind and animal companionship.

    I ought to be getting ready for work....but here I am :wave:

    I've got a colicky tum today, no idea what to take for it to ease the cramps. I've had it since yesterday evening. It should be gone by now, hasn't it read the books that say it can only hang round for a few hours? I might try a spoonful of brandy, the warmth of it seems to ease the cramps. I take brandy as a medicine - I really don't like it.
