Finally all of the items ordered arrived, and all correct. The last few weeks have been a revelation int Internet shopping. It just happened that I had ordered a number of things from different sources, but the service and results were very different. I do have to say that most of the companies have very good telephone people, and extremely helpful, also quite quick to deal with a problem. M&S proved to be the best at delivering goods with Amazon running very close too. QVC take a little longer but it depends on the item, and their P&P rates are getting quite high these days. Amazon is better there with free delivery. The websites are getting good these days too, with easy, user friendly sites that are clear and simple to get through. Debenhams was the only one that sent the wrong item in an order which was a bit of a faff to return, but there was no charge, just a lot of wasted time . We got there in the end though!
Vin had a bad bacck on Friday night, he couldn't straighten up and was bent over like an old man. I wouldn't let him go out on Saturday which he didn't like very much, but he would never have driven his car. Plenty of Ibuleve back rub and a good hot bath on Saturday morning and it seemed to ease off. Think he was lucky there. He tends to have the view that you need to keep moving and he is probably right. He went off to Tesco yesterday anyway, and Waitrose, and met half of the village in there he said.
He lit a fire last night since it was quite chilly, so we had Downton Abbey and a lovely fire..Ooh Bliss !! It is such a good series this one, loving every week and it's certainly the highlight of the viewing week..apart from Corrie that is!
Vin has just come in to say it's quite mild outside at the moment, but he thinks it will go colder later.We are just using heaters at the moment though.
Tonight we are having:
The leftover pizza from last night
Salad with egg cucumber and avocado
Potato salad for moi and rice salad for Vin.
