As well as the prospect of being a Mother and Wife this year I also have the amazing news that I'm going to be an Aunty, I couldn't be happier for Debbie although it does mean she may not make it to our wedding as she is due 6th August, but it will be a great wedding present.
I went on a bit of a cleaning spree yesterday, did the washing up, 2 loads of washing and drying, cleaned the
kitchen and I put all of Crumpets clothes away. It continued for a bit today as I hoovered downstairs and Tony finished upstairs and cleaned the oven which is a mammoth task.
Had to take Buddy to the vets today for a check-up as he keeps chewing his paws and tail, they emptied his anal glands which he really didn't enjoy poor puppy but it seems to have worked as he hasn't chewed them yet this evening. On our way to the car I noticed someone had tried to break in to my car last night (we wondered why the woofer was barking last night) thankfully they weren't successful, Tony talked me into called our local police number, they came out and took our information and had a look at the car. They then went to some of our neighbours to ask if anyone had seen or heard anything last night, I don't think they did but one of our neighbours came round to find out what happened as he was in the shower and said that we all need to stick together and look out for each other which was really kind of him. We've decided to get a security light as our drive way can be very dark. The police thinks it was an opportunist rather then a professional as the way it was done wouldn't have got much of a result. It has shaken me up a little bit though, I think it's worse because of my hormones.
I've had an awful time the last few days with Mothercare, we ordered a travel system before Christmas to arrive 5th January. They phoned to rearrange due to weather issues which was fine. The delivery date came and went with no delivery so I went into the shop to find out why, apparently the balance needed to be paid before delivery (this wasn't explained very well when we ordered) so I paid it all and just had to phone them to arrange delivery, I phoned them when I got home and they said it was listed to come out on Monday. That was fine by me. Monday came and I phoned them at about 7pm to ask when it was going to arrive and guess what there was a mess-up the spreadsheet said Monday, the work book said Tuesday, I was starting to get annoyed at this point so she phoned the Taunton store and they said they'd get one sent out by taxi that evening. IT DIDN'T ARRIVE GRR. So I phoned them this morning to complain AGAIN, they assured me Taunton were going to use a different taxi company which will collect the pram at 11.30. Finally some luck it had arrived but I wanted some money back for my phone bills, I kept getting promised a callback from a manager but never got one so I got to the point of phoning again and asking for the CEO's name and address which I got with no problems. The door bell then went and guess what... it's our original delivery. We now have 2 travel systems identical to each other umm lol. We've decided if Mothercare don't realise their mistake we will give the extra one to Debbie and Paul, she's really excited about it she loves it.
So to sum up has it been a good day or bad??
