Things can only get better

Lovely words BM ❤

Cherry - on further questioning he meant before the cemetery gets busy at Christmas, not sure that it does particularly 🤔 He also wanted to put some flowers in the cemetery's cremation memorial gardens for his mum and dad while we're there, which is a lovely thought but they were cremated and ashes scattered at a different cemetery 🤔  He did start off the conversation by asking if we were going to my mum's at Christmas, I said I hope not because she's been dead 20 years! He goes off like this sometimes, I get used to it.

Got mixed up with the timing of the Mr M order, it's this afternoon not this morning.

Eek that's so complicated SA! I have enough trouble keeping up with living in the present let alone time travel!

I knew I should've stayed with the Mr A online order today. The store where my Mr M order is coming from is experiencing serious technical issues and my order will be delayed by 3 hours. Why do I get the feeling it's not coming at all. Honestly they've gone to pot since they changed from being fulfilled by Ocado. And it's probably only going to get worse as they get busier as the lockdown progresses.

So I've not had a proper lunch break or taken the dog out because I've been waiting for this order coming. What with my work IT issues and now this - aargh 😒 Today's positives might be hard to come by.

Sounds like a frustrating day. Morrison’s delivery service sounds rubbish.
Mr SA must have been thinking about parents....
Chill time this evening to get over your day - hope your deliveries arrived ok.

Still no delivery 😩 They used to be really good, I don’t know what they’re playing at. We’re ok for tonight if it doesn’t turn up but something will need to be done for tomorrow. Serves me right for changing it from Mr A at the last minute.

Hello - great to catch up. adding my thoughts on the current situation, will just say an interview with Terry Waite on FB yesterday summed it up for me. That I sponsor a child in Mexico and I have looked at what’s happening there.  Yes I appreciate there will be pain and hardship economically for many, but we are a first world country, we are resilient, and we have a free NHS and welfare system that is there for us if we need it, and we never know when that might be. We need now to step and take responsibility for our actions, and I know dear MSE friends you all do..... let’s be role models, and Take care and love one another - keep counting our blessings however minute they may be. Look out for those who are struggling and do not be afraid to tell someone loved one or stranger if you are. 

Hugs to all 

A good post Bubblesmum and I agree with all you've said.

Oh dear I hope your delivery turns up SA. I noticed some empty shelves at my local Mr M this afternoon so the panic buying has begun  😡.

Mr SA is obviously a bit confused about cemeteries and Christmas 🤔😂, it's lucky you're there to straighten him out . Well done on getting some Christmas shopping done, I need to start thinking about it.

We had a Mr T delivery cancelled at the last minute last month which wasn't very helpful as we had nothing in as we had literally just come back off holiday that day!

Annoying isn't it?

Our Mr s is undergoing upgrades so there are more empty shelves than full while they move stuff let alone any panic buying going on. Great timing having customers wandering about trying to find stuff instead of going in and out at high speed. Hope your order arrives OK.

Hope you get your order.
