Hello the weather here is marvellous for the time of year and its great that the sun is shining in all its glory. I`ve been finding some great websites, courtesy of hubby Jim, who found some Dutch sites that are very impressive. They are so good at graphics , the Dutch dont you think ? The sites I`ve founds are very good quality and imaginative and I dont mean the rude ones either...LOL. So now that I`ve replenished my graphics that I lost when the PC crashed I can get back to writting this journal again. I`m thinking about what else I can write apart from other peoples poetry and my rather dull musings of daily life. I need a cheery theme, but I cant for the life of me think of one (see, told you I was boring and mundane)! I mean to say, though today has been a good day for me. I got up, went shopping, had my eyebrows threaded ....OUCH !!!....they still sting a bit ! and spent some money in Argos on bathroom accessories and bought some new cushions for my dining table chairs. Its hardly exciting reading material is it. I havent seen my kids for several days so nothing to write about there. Jims been at work or working here in the house doing the bathroom tiles ( and what a great job hes done too). I havent seen anyone, apart from going to work, unless you call having words with a call centre operator exciting, well, we certainly did have words I can tell you. I ordered an outside tap jacket as insulation for the winter from The Shires catalogue last week and I do remeber that the girl I spoke to was rather on the dim side, especially when she asked what size jacket did I want !!! Errrrm, 12-14 ? Silly girl ! its a tap! Anyway I duly gave the order then had a little chuckle after I had put the phone down. Now I think she was getting her own back. Yesterday I recieved a letter stating that I wouldnt get the said order because the credit card hadnt been authorised by the company........W H A D E R Y A M E A N !!!!! So I rang them up and waited in the queue as all the operators were busy. And I waited and waited and waited and waited......for twenty minutes I waited. When I got through this woman, lets call her Old Bag for the sake of it, decided that I must be dodgy because my card wasnt accepted, she sounded very worried so I assured her that the card has no outstanding balance, has never been turned down before (all true) and she then says " Excuse me madam, but there is always a reason for this to happen " " yes but......" says I " If you listen " says Old Bag " We have to start the order process again and see if maybe they will accept you again" says she, doubtfully.
Well we went on to exchange a few choice words and made up and then placed the order again though I still dont know if they will accept me. I think the original girl must have put my details down wrongly, but they wouldnt say yea or nay because its all to do with the d**n Data Protection Act. Anyway when I eventually get my Tap Jacket, (and very stylish it is too!) I will look back on all this and laugh......ERM...maybe not !!! Bye for now as I`m off to get ready for work. have a great weekend all.

Well, glad you got it sorted. Wish you had let me know though. I waited most of the afternoon for an email from you so I could close the im to Stuart. Never mind, just glad that you are u and running again and everything is back to its normal size lol
I have just had trouble with a firm as well. They took my money but never delivered the goods. I asked them where they had gone only to be told "oh we lose stuff and get stuff stolen all the time". I told her that this was not a good advert for the firm not good customer relations to actually tell a customer something like that. She apologised and said she can only do a re-order and I have to wait another three weeks. Anyway I wrote an email off to the company saying I was disappointed to say the least with their service and wondering how they could stay in business seeing as they were losing stuff or getting it stolen all the time. I have not had a reply!!! Speaks for itself. Will I get my stuff? Who knows.
I am running out of things to put on my journal as well. As you know I do not write about my day to day life and soon I shall run out of strange happenings, family stories and photos. Oh dear. Maybe I will get inspiration from somewhere. Have a great weekend although it will be very wet, cold and windy so they say.
By the way, loved the humming bird graphic. You did not say where the Dutch sites are lol.
