    :D

    I've been up & out early for a Drs appt - good news my blood is full of iron again :)

    Tried ordering Fourp a phone last night from CPW but on payment page you could only do Direct Debit. I wanted to pay in full :mad:
    Live chat got me nowhere so I removed item from my basket & exited website.
    Then they sent me a text :eek: reminding me to complete order :mad:
    Then an email - they had only put the s0dding phone back in my basket :mad:
    Removed myself from email subscription & blocked they number ...
    A little bit cheeky of them :(

    So went into a CPW store today & they could sell me the phone in the colour I wanted, (which was supposedly online only) & I paid in full :D:D

    Got home & had to ask Fourp to order himself a nano SIM card & he went all moody & angry & unhelpful & I give up :o

    Bestest ♥

    Going up to clear a small walking to the bed space, in That Sister's bedroom.
    New bedding for bed to put on & I'm leaving a vacuum cleaner I got from Ts there so The Boy can trip over it & hopefully clean the house before tomorrow....
