The boring thread.....

[Mups]

Mups...
 Is the Virgin man still there !!!
  You've got to let him out ... unlock the door...

No.    

[Scrumpy]

Not sure what to do today.. At a loose end..
Housework !.. Garden!.. Cut fringe!..
I am not interested.. The hoover is sitting on the landing.. It was there yesterday as well.. 
Enough space to walk around it..  

[klondike]

I think if I were you I'd tidy up. I'd put that hoover away for a start - could trip over it.

Lovely morning here, I'm still in my DG but been outside to have my first cuppa.   Boring Sunday, washing is on, listening to Talk Radio Peter Cardwell isn't boring though.   What else is boring today ?  I put my Hoover away Scrumps without using it, it was a safety hazard.

Bedding changed.. Just had coffee... 
Might hoover the bedrooms next.. Raining here..

It has been nice and sunny here,  but its getting greyer by the minute now.

Does anyone here ever buy anything from Holland & Barret?   
 I have wasted so much time this morning trying to order a couple of things, I won't bother again.

First their website wouldn't give me the option of delivery,  they only offered click & collect.  This annoyed me for a start, because if I could get there to collect,  I wouldn't need to order online in the first place!
So I try to look up the shops phone number to ask them a couple of questions.   
No luck with that either.
Apparently you can't ring their shops anymore,  you have to ring some call centre somewhere instead!

So I tried the call centre.  Why do the majority of call centres seem to only employ foreign speaking agents now?   She couldn't understand me any more than I could understand her!

After about 35 mins on the phone,  and her making several errors in what I was telling her so I had to keep starting again,   I gave up and told her to cancel the order altogether,  too much hassle by far.   Grrrr!

35 mins !!! I bet that phone call costs more than the order..
I buy my ( health) stuff on Amazon Prime..
I make sure that it is a ( recognised)  product and can be purchased at stores.. Certainly cheaper than buying from a pharmacy..

It was dreadful cutomer service, Scumps.
I had to spell out my email address three times,  my phone number two or three times,  then she put me on hold for nearly 5 minutes,  then came back and asked me my address again,  then she even made an error over the prices, and told me I had got discount when I hadn't    . . .  it really was bad.

I do buy some things from Amazon,  but not sure if I could get these two herbal items elsewhere.   I  suppose I could have a look and find out though.  Ta muchly.

Sunshine.. Washing in machine ... Not going to any garden centres or big stores.. i spend too much money.. Not looking on Amazon or Temur for anything.. 
 I will walk to the Co-op.. the long way round.. Pop into the charity shop..

[klondike]

Think I'll fill up with petrol. Bound to be going up soon.

[Mups]

A lovely sunny start to the day.

I am off to take Gertie to the groomers in a mo,  then I will only got Liffey to do.
This afternoon I've got a Physio appt for my ongoing shoulder problem.

[klondike]

Can't be long now before somebody is moaning that it's too hot 

[Scrumpy]

Phew!! It was damned hot walking to the Co-op today.. 
And I wasn't wearing a vest...
Bought myself some chocolate mousse as a treat..

[Ruthio]

Hung washing on the line for the first time in ages!
Brought the first lot in dry and hung the second lot out!
How boring is that!!

[Alex]

Yes, a good idea to fill up with petrol 
Haven't done anything today but tomorrow I'm meeting a friend for coffee at 10.15, just a Chatwins job, then I'm picking another friend up at noon to take her shopping here  https://www.homesense.com/home
