So, it's been a sort of unusual Monday for me and somewhat out of the ordinary. Started off with my son's dog who I am minding while they are on holiday having a `wee` accident on my hall rug (put i down to she's still trying to settle from being in a strange place) so cleaned that up- hopefully. Had to go out this morning for a while and so to save time when I got back did an express online ASDA shop to be delivered by one of their Uber drivers. Driver arrived and was carrying a box of crisps. I said to him I didn't order those and he said just keep them and I says oh well `something for nothing` but I was confused that I got everything in 3 carrier bags as I hadn't ordered that much to justify 3 shopping bags worth so got the shopping in went to empty the bags only to find it was a completely different order from what I asked for. Don't know whether I got someone else's order or what. Phoned customer services only for them to tell me to phone the Uber driver who then told me that what he delivered was the order he was handed so said because he was only the delivery driver he could not come back for it. So back to customer services and asked could I bring back the items myself to which they said no. So the outcome was as nobody wanted the stuff back I salvaged what I could that I would maybe use and took the rest to a foodbank. Whoever packed this order and if it was for someone liked crisps not only was there a box of Walkers assorted I also got a pack of prawn cocktail crips and Thai Chilli Sensations?? all of which I don't like. So the foodbank were pleased to take it from me as half the stuff I would not use and I know it would just go to waste. Had it been stuff like ready meals or similar maybe but just nothing I liked so I salvaged bread, bananas and yogurt from it. I have asked for a refund from what I originally ordered so see if it materialises. So after going around in circles with this I sat and thought to myself it's the 23rd June the date Jay passed and I am thinking he's probably sitting up there either having a laugh at my expense as he always was a bit of a wind up merchant or just testing my patience and resilience. But I think everything has been sorted now- hopefully.
The upside of everything is that my son and his family made it safe to Disneyland Paris so that's the main thing. I have my sister staying with me too to help me with looking after the dogs as the big dog is a bit boisterous and I am more able for her on her on her walks etc and my sister has received word that she will finally get her heart valve operation next Monday (30th June) so you could say a few `silver linings` from the clouds. Shouting at Jay's picture that I hated him but loved him dearly really.
Me to thinking about you. Take care.
Did Jay like them crisps flavours?
Yes Ghostlove
He would eat the prawn cocktail and the salt n vinegar two I hate not keen on Thai Chilli either. Besom! he's definitely done that to try my patience today
