SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM

Ten emails were sent to my other blog yesterday asking me to buy Viagra. Today I received fourteen! All targeted to one particular post published ages ago. I stopped it on this blog by only allowing google accounts to comment. Looks like I am going to now have to do something on that one as well. It's ridiculous. I have already set the comment moderation up so that it doesn't go on without my say so but it hasn't stopped them. Anyone got any ideas?

This morning we were waiting in eagerly for the washing machine. We are all running out of clothes. We have a washing line full of stinky towels that just get left there to dry day after day after swimming! All the laundry baskets are full!

So we had breakfast, we did some cleaning, we played Disney Monopoly. The boys read and played. Separately today as they decided they didn't like each other this morning! Mrs Royal popped by and had a coffee with us.

We knew the washer wouldn't arrive but we sat it out till 1pm. Then one minute after, I rang. I was told that before five minutes late, nothing could be done. So I rang after ten minutes past. She tried to ring the driver but got no answer. She said if they were going to be more than forty five minutes late, they would ring and let the customer know. I said, at what time do they decide to let us know if they are more than forty five minutes late. She couldn't tell me. I said I would ring again after 1:45 if they hadn't arrived.

The boys were bored, we had had our lunch, it was very hot and we decided to go in the pool! I took the phone and all the paperwork with me. I left the gate open so we could see if it arrived in the drive!

Ater 1:45 I rang but this time I spoke to the woman who Huffle bought it from and the same person I spoke to on Monday! She was very apologetic and said she would ring me back. Gone 2pm and she rang to say she had bad news again! The delivery would not be today and would be tomorrow. I told her she had better put me on to someone that I could shout at because I was very unhappy. She said I could shout at her. So I did!

We stayed in on Monday waiting for a phone call that never happened! We stayed In on Tuesday because we had a recorded message saying it would be there between 9am and 1pm. It didn't arrive. We were told it would be here Wednesday between 9am and 1pm and we cancelled the day at the zoo. I had two children at home from school bored and wondering why they can't go out on day trips like their friends but have to stay in and wait for a boring washing machine that doesn't even do anything! Also my mum is here all the way from England and we have taken her nowhere because she has been sitting here with us, waiting for our washer! Now we are being told we have to stay in on the day we decided we would go to Niagara Falls. No I said! I will not stay in, I want a full refund, compensation for missed days out and compensation for my laundry bills! Oh she said, do you just want a refund then? No, I want it all!!! She left me to speak to her manager and rang me back later. Back I went into the pool.

Later she rang and said she could guarantee it would be there tomorrow between 8:15 and 11:15, that we would be one of the first deliveries, she would confirm it in the morning with the delivery driver and with us and that she would remove the delivery charge and haulaway charge. About $70! By this time I had lost all fight. I just wanted the bloomin' machine. So I said okay. I told her I was very unhappy and she said she was too. She said she was shaking whilst shouting at the various people (and I believed her).

I just hope it is here tomorrow early. We have decided if it is here before 10am, we are driving to Niagara Falls and if it is after, we are off to the Zoo. Either way, we are getting up early and packing a picnic and making our breakfast to either take with us or eat whilst waiting!

Whatever, we are going out tomorrow. It is going to be another hot hot one but we cannot stay in again!!!

Anyway, believe it or not, I haven't taken any photos today. There was nothing to take this morning. Then I had my phone with me waiting for a call and then when the call came I put it inside because I was fed up of waiting for it to ring!

We played in the pool all afternoon. The boys were picking at each other and being antagonistic! They had BBQ dinner and when Huffle came home, Moo and I went out.

We took a load of stuff back to the shop that was faulty. We bought a new vacuum for the pool. Moo bought some stuff to take back home. I bought a birthday present. Then we went for falafel pita and a coffee and muffin. Moo can't say I don't take her anywhere!

We came home, attempted to vacuum the pool without getting bitten by Mosquitos and then came in and finished a game of cards we started the other night. I had to hand wash some clothes!!

Small couldn't sleep and was still awake at 10pm. I hope he is not grumpy tomorrow. I do not want grumpy people in my car for the two hour drive to the falls!

Sure there will be plenty of photos tomorrow! In the meantime, if anyone wants any Viagra, I can point them in the right direction (fourteen times!).

Oh dear, Canada seems worse than UK for service, not good. Set Huffle on them, I say. Fingers and toes xd today for the arrival of w/mchine. Hope the day goes well and you get to Niagra. I'm taking Grandma and Betty Brownie to new trendy coffee come garden centre/come browsing shop with all natural goods in (you would love it) today, then getting ready for hols tomorrow and have a golf meeting the end of Scraptoft tonight - this retired lark is busier than I thought.

Ohhhhh I love a good shout when I've had poor customer service! Mind you customer service is very good here. When my washer broke I ordered a new one online the very same day and it was delivered at 830 the very next morning. Good luck for tomorrow!

What a pain in the rear! Hope you get it delivered tomorrow, I'd be the same, go out too and hang them, sounds like they've never even told you why they can't deliver it, just "it won't be today"!! How useless!

Hugs
Brenda

Very funny Sarah. Made me chuckle. If I thought it would do delivery people any good, I'd have bought them some. Enjoy your hols xx
