Whistle 🐟 the card company.

Morning all, happy Friday. Only another five working Fridays to do now 🙂

WFH today so had a lovely relaxing start to the day again. I love my nice slow early mornings.

Had some good money news this morning in that our pay award has finally been settled and will be backdated to June in November's pay 🥳

Day 2 of the 21 day yoga challenge done. Another quick easy 10 minutes stretch. The sessions get longer as the days go on.

@beanielou I've sent an email to WF customer services about the delivery. I tried to request a redelivery with RM but can't because I guess as far as they're concerned the order has arrived at the delivery address.

I've tasked Mr SA with one job today which is to remove the bulb from the outside light as it's gone out. With him being so tall he only needs to reach up whereas I'd have to get ladders out. I want to replace the bulb with a dusk to dawn one and need to see what short of fitting it is. Let's see if he actually manages to do this!

Further exercise today will be dog walking later this morning and a live Zumba class at 11. I might squeeze in a strength training session later in the day.

Tonight's dinner is veggie lasagne and salad. I've got to make the lasagne later.

DD is at work so I need to try and fit in cleaning the bathroom before she gets back. I've already got the shower head soaking in limescale remover. Also have a pile of ironing to do.

I've heard back from WF and they've confirmed the order should've been delivered to my home address and will take up the issue with RM. They can't see any reason why my order went straight to the depot as the only delivery address on my account is my own, so the issue is with RM. I'm going to have to pick it up from the depot tomorrow but will need to be quick as it's only open 8am until 10am.

Brace yourselves - Mr SA removed the bulb from the outside lamp so I've ordered a dusk to dawn bulb.

Well done Mr SA - I would've bet against that happening 🤣

And the WF saga continues…

Went to pick my order up from the depot, took them ages to find it. I left my house at just after 9am and only just made it for the 10am close time but that was more down to Mr SA being slow. I ended up ploughing on without him as he was taking so long.

Anyway the issue seems to be with WF as the address label was minus the house number and road details. I’ve taken a photo of the address label and the delivery note as proof then sent it to them.

Pleased with my order despite the ordeal.

Went to the big Mr T on the way back from the PO depot. The loo rolls I usually buy were out of stock and I had 20% off 😞

DS and the GKs visited and DS put the panel back that had blown off the covered area where Mr SA keeps his scooter in the last storm. DGD is really growing up now and looks and sounds like a proper teenager at just 12 years old. I bought both the GKs an advent calendar and neither seemed that impressed 😐

Talking of advent calendars, I managed to knock a huge Lindt bunny off the shelf in the big Mr T by reaching for one of the calendars 😬 It smashed on the floor but remained intact in the wrapper so I just shoved it back on the shelf. It did bring back memories of when I worked in the village shop as a teenager and we did stock taking. One of the older women threw a huge bar of chocolate on the floor so it smashed and said oh dear we’ll have to share that with a cup of tea later 🤣

The dusk to dawn light bulbs arrived and work 👍

Today’s exercise has been day 3 of the yoga challenge, a live Zumba session and walking to and from the RM depot via Mr T 19,000 steps.

Tonight’s dinner was pizza, wedges and salad.

Rose Prosecco enjoyed with Strictly and there’s plenty left for tomorrow.

Wat a nightmare with the WF order. Glad you got it in the end.

I am enjoying a prosecco too!

Glad you finally got your WF order.

That used to happen fairly frequently when I was a postie- most of the time though it was someone we knew so we just delivered it anyway.

Ha, I thought it was a kiss emoji rather than a whistle, so I was confused too 😂. I love their cards

I’ve bought my GK’s chocolate advent calendars on offer £2 each, the ones they get off their parents is frightening . DGD1 has a make up one, DGD2 has a toy one and DGS has an expensive chocolate one and gets money as his doesn’t cost as much as the others. Mind u mum and dad get expensive ones as well.
