Rotten news about the roof. Just hope we dont get any trouble with ours.
Have been nagging heating company! Told bloke who was supposed to phone back on Monday, & didnt, that we have answer phone & to leave a message if no reply. Gave him the dates would like, so over to him. Got through initially to same lady who obviously was going to/gave him a rocket- you just knew that when I said he hadnt called back!
Tesco came in middle of slot time. Majority of stuff put away. I always have 'in bags' & a good job today as one bottle of cleaning stuff was just leaking from top a bit. If no bags, that would've been everywhere. One delivery in past a glass bottle of oil had broken & you can imagine the mess over my shopping & others too, by drivers comments. That time I got onto Tesco & got quite a refund/discount etc! They dont want to lose custom.
Couldn't see any discounts for first time shoppers. I guess that ,just at the moment, there might be a bit of strain on the system, so there's no incentive for them to pull in extra new customers. We haven't had our dustbins emptied yet this week.
I opted for bags. I guessed that made it simpler and quicker for them to hand the stuff over.
Roads are clear now, so I could almost have gone in the car. But this is convenient way of doing things, so it will be intetesting to see how it goes. I might just be tempted to do it regularly. Shopping is the main thing I use the car for, and I always seem to be paying a fortune at the petrol pump.
I thought of you this morning Jo-my free app of the day was a chore organiser-you list all your chores and it reminds you-needless to say I didn't bother
The Sparklers-the everyday story of boiler folk
The Karchers-the everyday story of pressure washers
I've just gone on Asda to do mine, and they are full round here until Saturday!! Good job I have stuff in. Will wait until next week now, and get odds and sods from Co-Op.
I've noticed recently that the slots arent filling up as quickly these days. I could have swopped todays' last night, but didnt want to. Yes the later times in evenings are cheaper, but the thought of sorting all that out then, nooo thank you.
Need to decide on lunch soon. With eating out tonight yay! it'll be a wee bit later than normal, so lunch should be delayed a bit, but somehow dont think so. J.
Jo it sounds like you will need lunch and then a little 'afternoon tea' to tide you over until your meal this evening!
So far the gas/boiler engineer hasn't shown up. I'm ok with my thick cardi on but my feet are starting to freeze. Time to get out my foot-warmer! It may look silly but it does the job!
I don't do online shopping as I buy reduced stuff a lot of the time - and we have 3 supermarkets to choose from. Got lots of cheap cakes in Morrisons on the way home last night
Hello forkers. We've had more snow here but it's melting quickly as its not so cold. Was supposed to be in school today but got a text at 7.00 am to say school was closed - it's not so much fun having a day off when you don't get paid and don't work anyway .
One advantage of getting older is you don't care if you go out in silly hats . Warmth, not fashion, is your main priority! Hope Geoff is wearing something sensible though .
Hope all goes well for Glyn on her long journey.
Gary - what time shall we all come round for dinner?

Ah well, Gary, never mind, although it's not too late to go back and ammend your order if you find one.

That's my way of thinking Lottie when I take Jess to nursery! I may look silly with my wooly hat on, but it keeps me warm!

Come round any time. There's already plenty in stock.
My efforts at snow clearance. I've got a couple more piles like this one. There's enough to make a good snowperson, but I can't be botthered...
This is the road. It's clear, but pavements are still snowy. As you can see, the dustmen haven't been this week....
