The traffic was very light and shops empty, which surprised us but made the morning all the more enjoyable. I even managed to get a bargain in Poundland's 50p sale!!
Mum and Dad bought me these two Christmas baubles in the sale as well!
So, all in all, it was a lovely, chilled out morning - which all went downhill fast when we got home and opened the post. Dad switched energy supplier around a year ago and it has been a year of hassle and arguments. At of the end of October, he was in credit to the company for a large amount yet now has a bill for a small amount that has arrived with a threatening letter. Of course there's no one on the end of a telephone to sort this matter out - and boy did I try- and, all the time, I am aware that Dad had a triple by pass last year and just doesn't need this stress. On a more minor level, I ordered something from Amazon that should have arrived today - but the delivery firm say that they are unable to deliver until Tuesday 27th. Now it's not a present so not essential but it all adds to the stress!
I just need to lie down in a darkened room now!
Tonight I plan on continuing, and perhaps finishing, the embroidery of a Splendid Sampler block - it all helps to reduce the blood pressure I guess!
Finally, may I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. At least I can start to to reveal some of those Christmas makes from tomorrow - although some wont be given until next Thursday!
I popped out to the shops this morning and also was amazed at how quiet it was!
ReplyDeleteHope tomorrow goes well and a Merry Xmas to you and all your family,

Ooo the baby has arrived!! So sorry to hear of the complications though. Grr to the energy suppliers...all I can say is, having spent 13years in credit control, sending out threatening letters all day long, that the computer churns out...its likely to be a mistake and even if the amount is owing ( make them send evidence it is) I am sure once you do get through all will be well, but nonetheless, no one likes to get letters like that.
ReplyDeleteHappy sewing tonight!
We went to the poundland sale - got thirty crackers for our kids party next year - well chuffed!!!!
