Viktoria, going back to something you said earlier, I think it is outrageous that Tesco charged you for delivery when your order fell below the required level due to them not having items. I think that is atrocious.

I've had problems with Tesco, and they don't even have an email address on their website to complain.  You have to use that awful Facebook thing.

Just a little note about Tesco… on the odd occasion I’ve had to contact them if you scroll down on your receipt email you will find a customer service number. I have found them very helpful and are great at refunding immediately if there’s an issue.. so Viktoria if you call them I’m sure they’ll reimburse your delivery charge as it’s their fault your shopping was below the limit.
They can also be contacted vis WhatsApp where you can send pictures too if needs be.
Hope that helps.


Just seen Viktoria’s reply so forget all I said!

Thanks Caroline, when you eventually get through to a person there is no quibble and a refund or voucher is credited to you.

Just put some delicate washing in on wool programme ,but washer only  going one way ,I usually hand wash good woollens so can’t remember if on that programme one way is O.K.
We will see!
A dark damp morning , so washing will be on clothes maiden ,anyway I can’t reach the line for another three weeks but the maiden is O.K,not too high to lift arm to.
Lily is one year old on 12th November ,a little video of her standing in her play pen,  my daughters lovely little Border Terrier is busy killing a non existent rat under the settee,growling and barking ,Lily is imitating Bryn, it is really funny.

Well no news really ,so look after yourselves ,thanks for the kind helpful comments folks.
Viktoria.

We know that the shops are already full of Christmas goodies, even with 8 weeks to go.  BUT just seen, this morning, the topping - a tractor pulling a trailer full of cut and bound Christmas trees  :o :o

Ooooooohh!!  Just thought - am I too late to start cooking the sprouts?  ;D

Best Wishes to you and your twin LM, many happy returns  :)

Back from a few days road trip, we've managed to clock up a fair few kms on the new car in 6 weeks gallivanting here and there with road trips ... still refer to it as mileage  :D

Lovely catching up with 2 groups of friends at 2 events, 1 absentee at 2nd one who called off having tested positive for covid.

Be well all ... start of another new week for diary, gone 5.20pm Monday 3rd for us NZ  :)

Thank you Mare, had a really nice day but unfortunately  not with our daughter as she has a bad cold,  week in Cornwall surfing and she returns with germs which we steer clear of now, so we went out to lunch with our grandaughter  and 2 friends who took up my daughter place at the table.

Covid is still lurking  so we have to be aware but thankfully minor to what it was initially,   we are fully jabbed up but I don't think it makes much difference.

We still refer to things in what I call   " old money" feet and Inches,  ounces and  pounds  but the cash is different, can't get away with using old money  terms with that but it doesn't stop us comparing  things.

Dull day but what can we expect?

Over to the new week before this gets locked
