I had a delivery today of something, but just got an email saying it will be delivered Tomorrow. Hmmm.

Techno error?

If not and its delivered twice do I have to pay return? Its more than one item, I could use a second of one of the items but to the others, unless I keep them t use as Christmas gifts, buying them might be easier than returning tbh.

I ordered the new Mogwai box set album a couple of weeks ago from Picadilly records.

Have to say their service has always been first class.

Got a text over the weekend to advise it would be delivered monday.
Got an email monday morning saying it had been dispatched.
Got a text mid afternoon monday advising it had been delivered, & even gave the name of who'd signed for it.

Brilliant! Better than amazon, & they pay their taxes too!:)

My delivery was from space nk, not amazon :rotfl:

And yes, its been delivered again.


I'think I might just tell them I'll pay for it and keep it.

Normal? Is that hat normal in Herts?
That'd make me stare across the street, potentially to walk into a lamppost.

Lydia, mystery to me how anyone could criticise that hat, it's a perfectly normal everyday hat and I think she looks rather stylish.:)

PN, you'd have had to lie down in a darkened room if you'd seen the one I wore to Mr Bugs funeral, Philip Treacy original, black velvet, with a huge sweep of irridescent feathers across the front. If it hadn't cost two months mortgage, I'd wear it more often, instead I view it as a work of art to be appreciated occasionally.

And I'm in the middle of making a friend a lime green ( her choice ) sinamay cloche - now that is scary!:rotfl:

I know some quakers and never knew them to have any particular dress code. Doubt they're wear designer clothes though.

I've a lot of respect for them as a religion, and as a community. Don't seem to have the hair covering/not covering concerns other religions seem to have preoccupations with either.

A former colleague is a quaker. Very pleasant, wise, trustworthy and good fun.

No differentiated clothing. Just an all round good egg.

I know a few quakers, & just found them to be generally friendly people.

They scored a big plus for me by stopping tesco getting a licence for one of their stores in birmingham.:cool:

Apart from bobble hats as a child and a £1 beanie hat and my latest acquisition of a £1 bobble hat with earflaps..... I've never had a hat.

Oh wow bugs......would you share a picture of it? You pt hat?

I think the hat is fine too. Personal,y I think the proportion of brim to hat height is very very slightly uncomfortable on her attractive and slight face the hat seems a little tall if one really stares, but.....nothing 'odd'.

I like a hat. Mine are in boxes and I do not wear the. Enough because the boxes are stacked and its all too much faff.

lir, I'll have to try and persuade a passing driver to post it on here, never worked out how to transfer pics from digital camera/phone to a forum ( or anywhere for a matter of fact:o).

Maybe I should try more pasta, for quick meals..... never thought about it. Could quickly roast some tomatoes/onions with some herby stuff ... and bung it onto a bowl of pasta. Never thought of it, always only ever experienced bland pasta sauces.... might do that.... right now I've a whole loaf to plough through in the next week.... and a dozen eggs. Both of which have a finite lifespan... and I've some spuds that I bought over 2 weeks ago that are sprouting, so need to use those up too.

I think that's why I get stuck in my rut. When you start by buying 2-3 ingredients that have a 2-3 week lifespan you end up eating just those to get through them.

1.5Kg spuds, 1 loaf of bread, 15 eggs..... starts to suck you into a vortex of "the same quick meals every day".
Same when I buy a punnet of tomatoes... gotta use them up. Even a £1 bag of onions can lurk for 2-3 months and keep calling your name, but with a potato/bread/egg base it's hard to fit those in.

So it usually ends up as: cheese/potato mash and scrambled eggs on toast a lot.
