August 16 Saturday shoppingASDA have just cheated me out of my 3 for £10 wines! I'm hopping. I order online because otherwise we seem to be humping huge amounts of dog and cat food not to mention cat litter around the store, also, I get (usually) exactly what I want and am less tempted, as wandering around virtual aisles doesn't have the same draw somehow as being in the shop. I usually order 3 bottles of wine on the 3 for 10 each week and this week there was a very nice South African Shiraz usually £6.12 a bottle on the special...so I ordered 3. It was out of stock wasn't it so they sent a substitute, charging as per their price promise on substitutions, no more than the price of the one ordered. Unfortunatly, on this occasion, the the Shiraz they have sent is not on offer and so I have been charged the £18.36....Fume!!! Really I should call them in the hope that they will be generous and discount me next time, though I doubt it.
'The bairn' and the bo are in Tokyo and getting wet then getting sunstroke in equal measure. 39c suddenly turns to rain that actually hurts so I'm told in a text. Ah! what a shame (not). I'm sure they are fitting in as much as they can and hopefully there will be lots of pics, not to mention video as she has taken hers dad's camcorder.
Take care, 'the dad's' doing his Ken Hom pork with cashew nuts this evening and no doubt we will wash it down with a bottle of the not 3 for 10 wine.
Toodle oo. August 08 Aren't PC's dead good when they work?I'm really beginning to think that this PC is coming to the end of it's days. It really went to bits a few months ago and I had it overhauled for £80, really I should have taken it back because there was very little difference when I got it home. So I put up with it's bad behaviour for a while longer, having to reboot it in safe mode every time it crashed until I found Tony, who came to the house, took it to bits and spent 2 hours messing on until it worked like new. Now it's up to it's tricks again. I do all my sweeps and scans every day but it is crashing again. My biggest fear is losing all the photo's, so I have spent the past 3 days making CD roms to ensure nothing gets lost.
Well it's been a mad dash around for nice things for 'the bairn' to take away on holiday. She finishes her job as a civil servant today, then next Wednesday she and Joe fly off to Tokyo for a week then on to Hong Kong for another week. Needless to say she had nothing to wear! When she returns she starts her new job as a Learning mentor (think that's the title) at a local Comprehensive school with the intention of getting a years experience under her belt to go on to do her PGCE. She swore she would never be a teacher, and I think she was absolutly right no to go straight into it after she finished her masters degree, only because she was 'not sure' and teaching now is such a stressful job, you really do HAVE to be SURE to do it well, and she now seems dead keen. Anyway I wish them a lovely holiday, she deserves it, she has had a tough few years which she has come through well. |
