Mrs Mervyn sensibly ordered all her Xmas Day food from Waitrose,about 2 weeks ago,to be delivered this morning.Main item was a special stuffed joint of pork to feed about 8 people. Order arrived this morning on schedule-no stuffed joint to feed 8 but an ordinary pork joint to feed about 3 people.However they made up for it with about 5 million stuffing balls. Mrs Mervyn was very polite to the Waitrose man and asked how they could be so remiss in not ringing first and explaining their mess up.Twenty minutes later another joint of pork turns up for us.:Arghh: Mrs Mervyn is now re scheduling her cooking times and stuffing the freezer with all sorts of sausages,stuffing,etc. I have taken some happy pills and am hiding under the stairs. Very Happy Christmas to you all and a hassle free holiday.
There have been big vans with assorted brands on the side going up and down my Close all morning, so you're not alone I nipped out at 0900 this morning and tbh it was pretty empty out there
Do what I do Mervyn totally ignore the whole filthy business, nothing to do with Christmas whatsoever in my house. Just heard 21st Century schizoid man by King Crimson on Radio 6 , a favorite of mine from the 70's and had to smile over the line " nothing his got he really needs"
Well if this bloke can cope without panicking what's a little shopping mix up? ( he says with everything safely delivered). Watch the vid. BBC News - Zambian guide shows how to take on a charging elephant
Thank you chrisw and Exige.The passage of time and my feeble brain and general confusion got the name wrong. I have tried to find out a way of changing the title thread to the correct name-cannot do.
Thank you El Toro.We wish you and your family a Happy Xmas.And extra special wishes to you from Mrs Merv.
Luckily we don't get many elephants in Horsham.We do get quite a lot of hippos in the shopping centre,grazing in the cafes. We have no need of panic as daughter has arrived and taken over command.I shall keep well out of it and not intefere.:Angelic:
