OK, so this is pretty unimportant but Im so p**d off!
At 7am this morning I got a text to say some shoes I've ordered would be delivered by Parcelforce today, with a number to track them on the internet.
So I checked the net, and saw that they were in my local(ish) depot, then on the road. It still says that now.....
I found a number on Google and managed to speak to a real person who said they'd be deleivered between 8-6. The driver decides the order so they can be no more specific than that.
So DS and I have been in ALL DAY, and we're both going mental! He's just started to walk and is into everything, a whole day in the house is not good at all. We missed an early group this morning, and a lunch / meet up with my friends and their babies this afternoon.
So if they'd said even just morning or afternoon then we could have done something, DS could have let off steam, I could have had some adult conversation and a nice coffee. Instead I've spent the whole day pressing refesh on the Parcelforce tracking page and stopping DS putting things down the toilet! The depot is not close to us, so it would be pretty inconvnient to have to go there to get them.

I really could do it better. 5.10 and still no sign, ARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

oh it sucks waiting in doesn't it.

I have to confess I usually pay extra (when it's available) to narrow the delivery time down.

There was no option for that, just next day delivery for an extra fiver which I didn't need.

Still not here........

Grrr I've had similar today. I arranged for parcel to be delivered today - from 7am onwards. I have waited in all day and still no sign - feels like such a wasted day - my one day off work and i was supposed to be doing about a hundred different things and have achieved none of them.

that's great - unless you need to sign for it sooz - in which case they can't put it in the hippo box Grin

Lovely. Except I live in a flat, so no outside space at all. Part of the reason we're going so stir crazy, there's only so much you can do here.

Still not here........
