Yeah, right! Tell that to the delivery guys! *sigh*
So I'm going to start the New Year with a moan! OK, so I like a good moan...
Delivery driver number ONE.....
Fridge Freezer from Next
Delivery date 12th December betrween 9am and 9pm. They arrive about 7:30pm it's pitch dark. They unbox it and manover it through the side gate THEN we see a HUGE scrtch down the side!!! So it goes back! 20th December and Fridge Freezer number two arrive this time mid afternoon, they unpack it and....... a small scrach with a long dent!!!!!! BUT this time on the other side which wont show so now I need to decide what to do? I'm offered a 25% discount OR I wait until after Christmas for fridge #3? Maybe I should mention at this point the Fridge Freezer is a SMEG and I have ALWAYS wanted a SMEG! In the end I can't go through this anymore I take the discount!
Delivery Driver number TWO....
Toaster from John Lewis
I brought the DeLongi toaster last year and it was packed away for six moths as I wanted to wait until my kitchen was done before i started using it! Well, my old toaster stopped working so I started using it! It blew up! say I asked for an exchange. Simple? Well, three phone calls later the new toaster arrives. So when will they take the old one back? Driver says he only delivers and another one will be along to collect??? NO COLLECTION! Two more phone calls and they arrange to collect it on the 27th between 9 and 3 as I'm going out. NO COLLECTION so I go out. When we get home there is a not in the door someone called at 3:40 to collect! More phone calls and they arrange to collect it this past Tuesday the 3rd.. guess what! I wait in all day and NOTHING!!!! NO COLLECTION! So I have now waisted THREE days! I phone them AGAIN tell them they had just better not charge me for the second toaster! They tell me the drivers did not work on Tuesday???? So why tell me it will be collected???? So now collection is arranged for FRIDAY after 3:30 as I'm not staying home ALL day!
Delivery Driver number THREE....
Earrings and gloves from AllSaints
Sorry no picture of the earrings
Well, all started OK! I received an e.mail telling me that my parcel would arrive between 11.33 and 12.33. Very precise I thought? Anyway at one o'clock I try to check on the net... I says it was delived at 11:40???? I try to phone the delivery company... NOTHING! So I phone AllSaints they are very helpful and try to sort it out, I even end up talking to the manager and that was WITHOUT my asking for him? Anyway turns out the driver went to #1 by mistake and could not be bothered to walk the extra couple of yards to my home so left my parcel with next door? So I go next door and no one home!
I need to add at this point that the lady of the house is Scottish and this was the day before New Years Eve and I now the last couple of years they have gone to Scotland for Hogmony! The manager of AllSaints gives me a 25% refund and offers to currier my goodies to my if they are not home! But they are home he is going into hospital to have a hip replasment so no Scotland this year! I get my goodies!
Delivery Driver Number FOUR....
Two Barbie Fashionistas Jet Set Dolls from Argos
I wanted all three but they only had two left so I pay for the two and they are due to be delivered on Tuesday NO DELIVERY! ( OK, so it was not until this morning (Thursday) that I realise they have not arrived) I phone Argos, apparently my dolls went to the wrong depo and will be delivered today? I express my displeasure and I'm refunded my postage and offered a £5 gift card which I accept. Late this afternoon my parcel arrives ONLY ONE DOLL in a very smashed up box. Glad I'm a de-boxer. So I have the girl in the skirt. I phone Argos and demand I speak to a manager. I gotta say he was very apologetic and phoned me back having located one of the other dolls in one of their stores and the store is sending it to me.... We will see? Compensation for the extra hassle I ask? He said he will refund me the price of one of the dolls!
So that's it so far.... watch this space!
Oh, I almost forgot! I ordered twelve FR and Nu Face bodies and only eleven arrived!
So I'm going to start the New Year with a moan! OK, so I like a good moan...

I received these wonderful dresses from Ginny last week... a GIFT!
Kandy with Chris
Rumi with Iver
Then we got a cab to Oxford St and had lunch in the Spaghetti House Amy was a little off her food and complaining about a loose tooth! Sophie and my mum were with us and I thought it would be un-fare to go home without seeing the Christmas lights etc! So I got some pain gel and paracetamol for Amy and we went for a look around Selfridges.
They were selling Karaoke Machines Amy and Sophie sang 'Away In A Manger' (big crowed) and by the time they had finished a long que of people buying the machines! My girls were a big hit! LOL Yes, I brought one too!
When we had finished looking around Selfridges we walked up Oxford St looking at the window displays to Regent St. I intended on taking some pictures but it was to dang COLD!
Regent St was pretty and we found this most wonderful shop called All Saints http://www.allsaints.com/ they have shops all over but this was the first time we had come across them!
There are more the 270 sewing machines!
The fabrics are so wonderful to touch they make your fingers tingle (if you know what I mean)?
Then it was back to GOSH and get the car home.
For my Candy swap I got this lot... ALL yummy! From Reese
For my Ornament I received this most beautiful ornament! From Kristine
For my Diorama swap I hit the MOTHER LOAD! From Johnna In PA
The White Elephant swap is on the 28th so I have not opened it yet (actually I don't have it yet)LOL
Kandy with Chris

On
the 16th Amy returned to Great Ormand Street Hospital for a check up on
her eyes. She was a pain in the butt but still behaved enough for them
to work out that one eye was the same and the other showed a slight
improvement! Then we got a cab to Oxford St and had lunch in the Spaghetti House Amy was a little off her food and complaining about a loose tooth!

Had a busy couple of
weeks (OK, who hasn't with Christmas coming) Still running back and
forth between two schools with Amy, so pleased I only have one more week
and then when she goes back after Christmas she will be full time at
the village school.
For the last eleven years Sophie has sung Away In A Manger accompanied by The Ware Brass Band at my parents golf club. There are about 200 people at the carol night. For the last three years Amy has joined in!
Did a little redressing, no not for Christmas (although I did that too)
First up Alvin has on a new suit and a WARNING
OK, the warning? Notice the pinky colour on the front of the suit? Well, the colour in the scarf has seeped into the suit!!!!
Next up I re dressed Agnes who was off to a business meeting
Not so sure about the Victoria Becham glasses though?
When I was taking Amy to school the other day I noticed this poor guy laying in the car park! He was still there the following morning so I picked him up....
As you can see he has been through the wars
Sean (as he is now known) sure needs some TLC
And a crutch! Poor guy it's a good job I have a nice new hospital ready and waiting... I hope the can help him?
And finally as Christmas gets closer

I'm in the process of
transferring Amy from her old school to the local village school. Not as
easy as it sounds, are you sitting comfortably? Good! Then I shale
begin....
Back in June I thought that as Sophie was now leaving school it might be nice for Amy to attend her local school instead of the one near to Sophie's school. The logical thing was to contact the village school so this is what I did. The head said that Amy's year was full but to fill in a form and when they got a vacancies they would contact me. So this is what I did! In July I received a call from the Special Educational Needs Dept apparently if my child is statement all I need do is contact the dept and they sort it all out? OK, so the school got it wrong never mind!
Well, in September when school returns the village school contacted me would I like to come and look around the school? THEN I get a call from the old school asking why I had not told then earlier that I was changing Amy's school? Say WHAT???? I had not even SEEN the school at this time? So I go look around the school it's a nice little village school, the head is a little 'hesitant' I don't think she has ever met anyone with Downs before?
So the next day I go see the SENCO (special educational needs co-coordinator) and the Education Authority woman was also there. Apparently they have already started the transfer? But I have only just looked at the school I say? No, when I spoke to the EA in July THAT was when they started?
Yeah, big mix up!!! But never mind as I liked the new school so was OK, with the move!
Next thing was for Amy and I to visit the school together then for her to slowly transfer over to the village school.
First problem with this.... even though the village school knew about Amy in JULY and it was by now October they had done nothing about employing a teaching assistant for Amy?
Do you get the feeling that the village school is not ready for Amy?.... Me too!
Anyway, to bad as she is going anyway! So now what?
After half term Amy visits for a couple of afternoons with a TA from her old school. This means... I take her to school in the morning, collect at lunch time and take her to the new school and the collect her from her new school.... in between this I run Sophie around as well!!! Confused, tired, fed-up a mix of all three!
So on Monday ANOTHER meeting, Tuesday Amy spends the morning at her new school and the afternoon at the old school... I said the other day I felt like I was on elastic pinging about all over the place.... Oh, and did I mention that I have an ulcer and I'm not supposed to get stressed?
So thats my life at the moment! LOL
Now onto new goodies....
I was one of those fools that spent HOURS trying to get some of the left over convention goodies... so this is what I got
Love these boots and the 'boot' bit is removable so they can be shoes too!
Love these boots too!
Yeah, got the Dynamite outfits too... and the FR/Poppy shoes

Poor Vanessa.... Monaco Royale
She was due to arrive home weeks ago but was stuck in customs.... nothing new in THAT!
BUT
I never received the ransom demand so in customs she stayed, at lest she had the company of a IT doll!
Well I checked on her progress and after a few days and still no demand I contacted THEM (Parcel Force)
A few days later an email arrived telling me they could not deliver as I had not paid the ransom (they call it a customs charge but we all know that if you demand money from a person for something that already belongs to that person THEN THEY ARE HOLDING THE ITEM TO RANSOM!!!)
Anyway the email said I need to pay 'the charge' before they deliver. Enclosed was also the amount owed and a reference number... this of course did not work! So after a couple more e.mails back and forth they said they would deliver COD. Then when it arrived it had 'paid' on it????? Strange hummm??? But hay ho!
For more pictures..... LINK
And her IT companion
And for more pictures of this little lovely.... LINK
Some items that did arrive in a timely manor
Four new pairs of trousers (pants) for my Homme's and Neal is wearing a new sweater all are from Gwen on Doll Divas.
In case your interested the brown sweater is from MarC also on Doll Divas.

Yes, there is a bit of a
theme when it comes to birth'days' they go on for a lot longer than a
DAY! Amy's being no different it started on the Saturday evening when we
went out to The Townsend for dinner....
Then on the Sunday we drove down to Kingston On Themes where we got a boat up to Richmond (one of the hottest days of the year and a record breaker for October.... Yeap, the hottest October day on record!!!!
Monday was her actual birthday and after school my parents came round so she could open her presents and then we had a Chinese meal.

On Sunday I got a phone
call from an old school friend... well she is more than that! We lived
next door to each other for 20 years and were in the same class together
all through school. I was bridesmaid at her wedding to her childhood
sweetheart (she was 15 when they met) I'm godmother to their three
children. A few years ago they moved away but we still kept in touch and
I visited when I could. We always try to get together in the summer
holidays but this year the weather was bad (she lives on the coast so we
try to visit when the weather is nice) Anyway I did not phone her I had
not spoken to her since March(ish) So on Sunday she phoned asked about
the girls,me, my parents and told me her youngest (19) was pregnant they
are all very happy about it and the boyfriend is due home soon (he is
serving in Afghanistan) My friends son did wonderfully in his music
exams and can be a teacher if he wants but at the moment he is happy
playing in a band. The older daughter is happy in her life and said that
she and my freind will grow old and have a load of cats (I thought this
a little odd but let it go) we chatted on a little and then she told me
that she had lost her mother in law back in May. Her MIL had been ill
for some time and was in her 80's so no big surprise even though she had
been ill. That's when my friend asked me if I was ready for some more
news (I could hear the catch in her voice... was she getting divorced?
they had been married 29 years? They were a good couple, happy together?
But then who's knows? She she tells me.... her husband is dead! She
lost him on 20th July their sons birthday!!!! Only immediate family had
known he was ill, it had taken to now for her to tell me... she had
still not told anyone else. To say I was shocked is an understatement!
He had been diagnosed with Cancer a couple of days after his mother's
death in May (on their daughters birthday) TWO months later he was dead!
I have known him at long as she had he was 54....just 54! The guilt for
not contacting her sooner is eminence I will be going to see her in
October (half term) whatever the weather!
Sorry this has been such a morbid post but I needed to write it down.... to get the dark thought out of my head! Oh, the day before he died he received a letter from their youngest daughters boyfriend asking for her hand in marriage.... he said yes and they told him it was a good thing as he was to be a granddad!
So on Monday still feeling very morose I tied things down in the garden (Tail end of Hurricane Katia) went indoors and cleaned the bathroom. As I went to go back downstairs a gust of wind and the loft hatch blew open on me! Skimmed the back of my head but I'm OK! Hatch has now been fixed but a fraction of a second earlier it could have been very different!
My third thing mess up with my money took me some hours to sort out and did the guy say sorry? Noooooo! He tells me not to worry "I'll get it back" Great!!!!! That help pay the bills! LOL
It's Wednesday now and I'm feeling less...... shocked now!
