    Not impressed. The drier is meant to be arriving today, we paid extra for Saturday delivery, and despite the phone call confirming yesterday, the text last night with the delivery slot, apparently it's suddenly not going to be here :mad:

    We've emptied and cleaned the porch anyway, but DH has put a load back 'to give him time to work through it'. He'd better :D I'm so annoyed, but at least it's cleaner out there now.

    Still no news about the tumble drier so the heating has gone on today to try and clear some washing.

    I have complained, and they've refunded the whole delivery charge which is nice as I only asked for the 'Saturday' part. It's going to be a pain to get a convenient time though, so it's probably going to have to be next week if I'm lucky!

    Aching again today, so not much planned. I'm going to prep some meals for the week and also lunches.

    I'm also going to try and get my prepped listings on.

    Hope everyone is well :)

    Thank you. I'm definitely going to have a look for something. We've got a Dunelm so I might have a visit.

    I managed to get my listings done yesterday and now two items have bids on :T

    I had a busy day with cooking too, made lentil soup, scotch eggs, cottage pie, cakes and roast.

    We went to Asda and I got one of their wonky veg boxes reduced to £2.50 :T It had loads in it, potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, swede, parnsips, a huge cabbage, pepper, leeks, onions. I was really pleased, and have used most of it in the cooking for this week.

    I had a sort of one of my bookcases, is it just me that finds that really relaxing :rotfl: I like to just sit and gaze at my books :D:o

    Today DH sold a load more items, so 14 parcels posted this morning. Sadly nothing for me.

    I got a £5 love to shop voucher the other day, and I've lost it :mad: I can't find it anywhere. I've checked the recycling and it's not there. Better have one more check before the collection day tomorrow.

    Little jwil said he was feeling poorly this morning, but he didn't have a temperature and didn't seem ill, apart from a bit tired. I've sent him to school. Hopefully it's nothing. I feel bad, but can't keep them home just for saying they feel ill!

    It's the first time I've seen them too, they only had 3 of them. I was really impressed though, it was a good deal, even if it wasn't reduced.

    Two sales for me today, and a few more parcels posted for DH.

    Not much else to report!

    £2 amazon voucher redeemed yesterday.

    Tumble drier is arriving today (hopefully!) hurrah!

    I've got a few bids on things going out at the weekend so that's good. A few non payers too, so that's not good :(

    I'm really struggling at the moment, my anxiety is through the roof and I'm not sleeping well. If it doesn't settle down soon, I think I'll have to visit the docs. :(

  • I hope the tumble drier came today.

    Sorry about your anxiety. Is there any particular thing that has triggered it do you think?
