Today started off badly!! I ordered one of the kids main pressie on the internet last night, and this morning got an email saying the payment hadn't gone through. Called the company and they tried again - still didn't go through. Rang the bank (to play merry hell!!) and they said company had put wrong number in!! Aaaaargh!! Rang company again - all computer systems are down and they promised to ring me back in 1/2 hour. Two hours later - they still hadn't rung!! Rang again, apparently they'd had a fire at their head office and computers were still down - told them they need a disaster recovery plan!! Gave up at that point and went and did the local errands. When I got back I started to catch up on my emails before going to get Little Prince from school. Once back from school tried the company one last time and HURRAY their computer was up and running, they managed to punch the right numbers in and the pressie is now safely ordered. Phew!!! I hope the child concerned appreciates this!!! Lol who am I kidding - no chance lol. If you want gratitude get a dog :-)I wanted to get some more wrapping up done after tea, but Mr Messy has come home from work with a stonking headache and has gone to bed to sleep it off. So no wrapping up tonight!! I have just been planning a trip to Ikea tomorrow - but realised that the mysterious pressie is being delivered tomorrow so I have to be in!!!! Its never simple is it?!?!
