 Morning, everyone.  We've had another cold night and I don't mind admitting I kept the electric blanket on low all night.  I was so tired yesterday evening, I just wanted to get warm and stay warm.

It was a good day yesterday.
The first thing I did was fire off a grumble to Naked Wines letting them know what happened.   I was polite but not pleased, a skill many teachers develop during their working life.  lol
Yesterday afternoon I got two replies.
The first one was a standard terribly sorry, very embarrassing, reordered your wines, should be with you soon.

The other was way more informative, explaining that my order had been packed in two consignments (their words), one of which I should have received while the other was still in their warehouse for some reason (they've said it must go immediately).  The one that didn't arrive was on a delivery van that broke down - which, to be fair, does seem possible as the tracker showed the van in the same place for hours and the number of deliveries before mine staying the same rather than going down.
It should arrive today (we will see) and the other ought to be on its way too.
We're sure you will love the wines when they arrive, etc, etc,etc.  All aimed at soothing a justifiably irate customer.  I've done it myself at school with parents in the past.
(I had to laugh when I read it)

So - the original wine order should be with me soon AND they have reordered my order (if you follow me)???
Does that mean I get TWO orders?  That would be interesting, for sure.  Watch this space.

I pootled over to Beth, had a nice coffee and sorted out the cardigan questions so that's good.  I can pretty much finish it now.

Knit and Natter was lovely.  My SW friend, Chris, who had told me about it, was there when I arrived saving a seat for me and the other side of me was Ginny, another SW friend.  I didn't know she went too.  So we knitted/crocheted and chatted and it was great.  There was coffee/ta and biscuit half way through and then there was a raffle too (prizes donated) and I won one of them.  Must take something for the raffle next time.

And then it was off to Lindsey's for personal training where I managed to drop a dumbell on my head.  Ouch.  Totally my fault - I was careless.  It is fine now, not even a little tender - no dilated eyes/headache/ etc, just a slight tenderness.  But what a silly thing to do, eh?

Come the evening, I just sat and crocheted this, that and the other.  There are so many YouTube videos showing how to make Christmas ornaments and I'm quite hooked (sorry)!  They take so little time really - gaudy, yes, but then that's my vibe at Christmas.  Red, gold and green.  Lovely!

I slept like a log, warm and cosy.
Today is a stay at home day.  SET online, than a chat with Chris and after that I want to sort out the other two bedrooms and get the guest room ready for Beth and Alex staying over next weekend.  If I get that done, I will be a happy bunny.

Oh - and, possibly, two (maybe four? I do so hope not) boxes of wine???   I'm seeing the funny side now.
I'll let you know!

Have a lovely day, everyone.  Stay warm and cosy and be happy!  xx
