In which Vin gets a refund and Jenny has a Wobble!!

Firstly Vin asks me which shop I want to get the veggies from, knowing full well that he wants to go to Formby to the Homebase to get his refund. He had been on their price promise website and found that the ladders he had bought were ten pounds cheaper in Argos. So off he trots to Homebase to get his money back, after ringing them up first. Parks outside their front wall.Leaves me in the car listening to Radio Two and counting the bricks in the wall. 30 across and 40 up !! Back after quite a while because he had a dealing with the woman at the counter. Eventually sent for the manager who agreed that Vin was right and refunded the money. So he is a happy bunny now.
Onwards to Waitrose. Surprisingly quiet even though there were children about. Got some lovely veggies there, they do have nice veggies do Waitrose, and home in time for coffee. The wobble bit is to do with my new tablets I think. They lower the blood sugar, and it was 2.3 which is very low for me. Quick sugar glucose drink that Vin keeps in the fridge and recovered eventually.
Total pain in the neck this Diabetes, horrible things happen to the body, like bad eyesight, kidney damage and feet problems to say the least. never mind, plenty worse off.
Our next door neighbour, the one who is always having things done, is having her flat roof redone, so we had banging from early this morning. They rang the doorbell to say they had disturbed a wasps nest so watch out at the back of the house, with some angry wasps flying about. Oh what fun! hasn't stopped intrepid Vin from getting his ladders to start his painting at the back of the house though. Well Done Vinny XX
Musings on our postal system. We got our post today at 2 O'Clock !! I remember the days when we used to get our post on the mat when we came down in the morning,,Huh..no longer. And, we used to get a mid-day post as well. Some Progress. I thought all this technology was supposed to make things better, and we get our p[ost mid afternoon nowadays.
