    NSD 11/10 today. I'd give anything for a nice cold lemonade or something but nothing of the sort in the house to drink. Too far to the shops though from here.

    Today was NSD16, actually had a good day at school. Even though the same child pooed herself twice! An unfortunate tummy bug hit her. Poor thing.

    Number 14 today!!!! Payday Wednesday - only 5 weeks and 5 days since the December payday, how cruel is that? At least I have managed to clear some old stock out of the food cupboards, so I can stock up with nice and practical stuff again.

    Ugh, that's ages :(

    Well good news is nsd #14?:j

    Had a right set to with an online company today. Ordered something for OH b'day. 6 days later they reduced the price so I queried whether they would price match. Big fat no, told to return the ordinal order and re-buy if I wanted to do that (despite the fact I pointed out it would likely cost them the diff to process the return). Clearly stated that I would be retuning the item in person as the warehouse was nearby, only response I got was the returns paperwork.

    Fast forward to lunchtime, took item to warehouse, was refused as I wasn't a proper courier :mad: called company standing outside warehouse who said they'd emailed me to say it would have to be returned by courier. I explained I clearly hadn't got the email, they said 'we'll you replied to others', to which I slits my rag and questioned what on earth I would be doing standing outside the !!!!!!!g warehouse had I received that email about the courier and it would have had an impact on my second order decision :mad::mad:

    Requested a pre paid courier label as a gesture of goodwill, refused. Requested escalation to manager and a call back. Numpty in customer services said he'd make a note but I wouldn't get a call back since as far as they were concerned they'd met their SLA.

    Well, IMO they have fallen far short of their SLA and once I eventually get my refund, will be hearing a great deal more from me :mad::mad::mad:

    A NSD today has taken me up to 16, which means that I've achieved my target!!


    I will see if I can get it up to 20 before the end of the month... It might just be possible...


    Have a good week everyone, if I don't check in again for a few days!

    Looks like you've got one more than you declared and up to #17 :j:j
