Anon, the 1st shop gave one result, the 2nd shop gave a slightly different result, which is why I don't want to waste anyones petrol, until i've got a clear result to publish.

Ohhh my boots order has just turned up! Think I might have gone slightly overboard on the slippers.....

The only thing to go back is a perfume set, they have sent me the mens version instead of ladies!

I got myself a pack of bath cubes, really fancy a retro 1970 style bath!

Me too with the slippers... I cannot remember buying half of it! hey ho...

Aw mhoc ..so glad you got them in the end..I sort of know how you feel, my brother is in Afghanistan and I worry everyday with things I hear.thank god for viber and Skype cause it makes things a lot easier. My eldest baby is 15 and he will be joining army college next year and my 13 year old is also adamant that's what he wants to do and I know it's a little way of but it doesn't stop you worrying about them . Take care and enjoy your flowers x

Skype is amazing, its the one good thing about the whole thing - we have far better communication now than ever we had when he was out in Cyprus. Also the free postage is excellent - magazines and tuck boxes get sent out every week :T
Its impossible to stop yourself worrying - it's always in the back of your head.
Logically though he is the safest place - mostly in compounds or bomb proof buildings or armoured vehicles. Youngest son climbing his mountains - now that is more dangerous. Even more so eldest child now on secondment in the wilds of London is the most likely to encounter danger

Why is it that whenever someone is just downright outright rude to me I just turn into a blubbering mess and I don't stand my corner.

We went out last this morning having waited for the postman so it was late when we went out but whilst we out a company tried to deliver flowers. Apparently they tried twice sometime between 10.30 and 2.30 and the neighbour would not take them in.
So the company left a message on the answer phone for me to ring.
I've just rang and a very sharp lady answered the phone and more or less said it was my fault for not being in (although I obviosuly didnt know the flowers were coming) so I am not getting my flowers despite my not knowing they were coming. She now says her delivery driver does not work on Saturday afternoon so the flowers will not be delivered until Monday. She might try and deliver this evening but this will put her out as it will mean her going the wrong way home.
She knew the person who ordered them was abroad and I told her it was my son out in kabul. I don't think they made much of an impact on her.
She said she might deliver them tonight which I said would be nice as its my birthday on Sunday - made me feel like getting the delivery tonight I will be inconveniencing her.
just looked the company up and they are situated about 10 minutes from here and their website does say deliveries 7 days a week - I can't believe a flowers delivery company only does Saturday mornings when everyone is out all week.
not in the best place as it is. We try not to listen to the news if we can but sometimes it sneaks up on you and it was on the car radio. yesterday there was a big bombing to do with the forthcoming elections and several UN employees were killed - it brings you up sharp. I know son is safe or as safe as its possible to be in that hellhole but its still far too close for comfort.

mhoc, have a hug from me.

Were the flowers ordered via an international operation like Interflora or similar? If so, I would take it up with them, they will not want to put business out to people like that I would have thought.

In the meantime know that your son wanted you to get some flowers and know he is thinking of you and have these virtual ones from me.



Edit: I see you've got them now, just catching up. Enjoy! :T

Its like you have to build a very hard tough shell around yourself to get through everyday life and this works fine until one day something chips the shell and everything comes pouring out and then all the pent up miseries comes pouring out in a huge uncontrollable waterfall.

It only takes one tiny thing

And we are all the same xxxx

So I went and washed up, kitchens are good places for having a howl as you can blame the inhuman noses on 3 cats wanting their lunch. Then I told OH what had happened and he ring them back - far too polite. Then an hour later and a bang on the door and the flowers arrived :T
They are beautiful of course - not sure how she expected them to be in the same condition left in the shop until Monday I don't know.
On the card son had written
I'll be back soon
So now I am pieces again.
