Today key word OUT OF STOCK

Today was the last minute dash for my husband whilst I rested at home due to my health.  I’m kind of glad some things were a real hit and we were lucky to get them discounted . The family started to do a secret Santa type thing because I used to get so emotionally stressed I would be ill every Christmas and end up crying . Anyway hubby returned with the last of pressies for my son and my daughtersand grandchildren’s presents.
Pre secret. Santa I chose my middle daughter Bronte  and hubby chose the other daughter Abbey  in secret Santa. What to buy your daughter !!!!!
I had in my head I was buying the her a Marimo.as she has a fascination for Japan and she had longed for one of these . Anyone who doesn’t know what this is it’s kind of cute and I will post a photo of the type of thing I mean . The only problem is I tried to order and it said ( This will arrive after Christmas ). My planning skills have been the worst ever since having my children. The youngest daughter pulled her dads name out on the secret Santa,. My son Caleb by the way is exempt from secret Santa because he is only 15 . Next year I think I need to plan better as definateley today has been testing and secret Santa is awful in some ways as you can’t by a present for each and it can be cost restricted.
I ordered a bike for my son .... So off they go this evening to pick  up the bike and they walked to the store . I call my husband and he said the bike isn’t in until after Christmas. I’m like your joking right !!!! Pre Christmas stress starts . My son is disappointed as they are turned away without the bike but promised it will be in tomorrow by the time I had a phone call to the store . You never know though with stores when they say the next day wether it will happen so I’m unsure at present . I’m sure they say that so I can’t continually moan down the telephone. Earlier in the day I said I said when ordering the bike they will be in early this evening to pick it up and we would make it up. So anyway I’m at home both jay and Caleb and our little pug walked to the nearest store and come back with nothing . I can’t say how cross I was ....why didn’t the person from the shop say it wasn’t in stock and why when I said they would walk down to get it didn’t they say , Sorry it won’t be here until after the 29 th December . After  Christmas!!!!! What your kidding I say !!!    Surely when you say it’s an early Christmas present it dosnt mean after Christmas. Finally I get hold of Steve  at the store apologising  and promises me it will be in tomorrow morning. I’m not sure and as for the marimo no delivery until after Christmas and some not until January . Option two an Amazon Echo  ....out of stock .I had forgotten to say Jay went back earlier in the afternoon and come back with ......a little something from pandora . Tonight just before I go to bed I double check my daughter has a pandora bracelet as I’m sure she has  !!!!  The reply pings back I don’t have one mum !!!! aahhhh the stress starts again . Now I’m thinking she will know what I’m getting . So much for secret Santa !!!!! Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Happy Humbug Christmas 🎄 lol 😝

Build day 2 of the second week

Today has been focussed around putting handles on the doors and finishing over boarding the ceilings and building and area for a window. Everything is still in chaos as for us being a family. It's like being in a bedsit and I can sure know what that is like. I've been there done that and have the t shirt. The dust is still settling every day and its surprising how much we find and where. Overall my day has been pretty difficult with seizures and difficulty with speech but I have tried my hardest which is all the matters and I have been positive even though my day was somewhat tricky. Jay has been great always and the hero of the hour especially with me throughout the day. Supplying me with tea coffee and lunch.  Jay normally and pops into town to shop and stock up on needed groceries for the day . Jay has walked ditty like he does every morning otherwise she stares jay in the eye and you can feel the stare lol .Ditty although a tiny pug has an intimidating stare lol and she is...

This week relaxing and working through Netflix

I’ve been poorly for some time now and it’s been wonderful to have the usage of Netflix . I have had a bad few months since our return from Hungary. I’m not sure if it’s because I was depressed about coming home . I know I have been harbouring a cold which turned into an infection that I can’t shake of . My asthma has been a little out of control and curiosly up and down and my peak flow has been low but I have already had antibiotics and steroids. Anyway thanks to Netflix I have watched the complete series of  the following titles. 1 Top Of The lake Top of the Lake is set in the beautiful picturesque country of New Zealand . The series is about a detective Robin Griffin who becomes obsessed with the safety of of a young girl called Tui . Suspicions arise when Robin suspect the father of abuse . In an attempt to help  Tui she tries to reach out to her in the best way possible . Tui the young 12 year old goes missing and the case is stepped up in and attempt to find her . T...
