Things can only get better

It finally arrived at 11pm last night. I was in bed fast asleep but fortunately Mr SA heard them knocking. Of course that means he accepted the subs but hey ho. Had to get up to put the frozen stuff away but the rest I left until this morning. I have a delivery pass so won’t get the delivery charge refunded. Took me ages to get back to sleep. 

Off to Mr T this morning to get the missing items.

Oh SA how late was that for a delivery, I bet the driver got a few comments if he was still out that late. Maybe there were more deliveries owing to people getting slots for lockdown. I hope you get what you want at Mr T , it's foggy here and cold. Have a good day .

Wow. That is late for the delivery. They would have had no chance of waking us up at that time.!

11pm. Eek. 

Surely there should be a cut off. 

I would phone CS & try to get money back for the subs on the basis person who would normally accept the delivery was asleep 💤

Morning, happy hump day 😎

I'm not phoning CS to be on hold for 20 minutes, I'm sending a shirty email. I know the store couldn't help it that they had IT issues but they could've got CS to contact everyone to see if they wanted to cancel or change the day. It's a shame because Mr S have sent me some really good money off vouchers to spend in store, £4.50 and £6 off a £30 and the nearest decent sized Mr S is about 4 miles away so I won't be able to use them. Iceland have also offered me slots and money off but I struggle to spend the £35 minimum in there, the last thing I need is more freezer stuff.

Anyway a successful Mr T shop, bit too successful as spent £48. That's the trouble with going instore. They've got some really cheap deals especially on fruit and veg, a lot of their stuff is much cheaper than Mr M but then I guess Mr M have got to claw back the 10% discount they're offering to NHS and school staff. No doubt it's going to get busier instore as people start going off on furlough, that's why I went today. Successful on the steps front too as just over 8k and a climb up a very steep hill with two heavy bags, great cardio workout.

The docking station is arriving today so should be back up and running properly workwise shortly. DD has bought a huge router amplifier/booster so she's going to set that up today. She's convinced I'm using up all the bandwidth for work.

To Do Today (aside from work):
1. Set up IT stuff
2. Cleaning - catch up on all the kitchen stuff I didn't get around to yesterday
3. Spanish
4. Pilates after work
5. Take dog on park at lunchtime (Mr SA had to take her yesterday and she wasn't happy about it)

Have a wonderful Wednesday x

I’m not surprised you’re sending a shirty e mail. 11pm is just ridiculous....😡😡

DD said it was all hands on deck last night at her branch of Mr M, everyone was moved to picking and packing to help out the store that had the IT problems. 

Been on the park with the dog and have ordered Mr SA's Christmas present from Debenhams as they've got 15% off perfumes. Went through TCB as they have an extra £5 cashback bonus today. So that's another thing got. I thought I had plenty of wrapping paper but not the case. I usually buy paper, tags, cards and crackers from M&S in the January sales but as you may all remember I was laid up with the broken leg at the start of the year.

My hairdressers have cancelled my 2 December appointment and changed it to 13 December which is a Sunday.  I queried and this is right they're going to do Sunday appointments. It doesn't seem fair them having to close, they've followed all the rules and the salon is super safe.  I've been hearing stories of people queuing outside shops today and noticed this morning Mr T now have a traffic light system to go in the store. And so it begins..

I am so glad we decided to get Christmas sorted early this year. We can sit back and watch the drama and chaos unfold now!

Forgot to add I finally got to put the stuff that's been sitting on my kitchen worktop for ages in the foodbank box in Mr T. Kept forgetting to take it and there aren't any at my local shops as far as I can see. Felt odd to be wandering around the shop with a bag full of food already, I was a bit worried they might think I'd pinched it, was glad to offload it.
