Thank Crunchie it's Friday

This week at Chez Marleys:

:: Work has been CRAZY busy  ::
 (working long and very late hours has taken its toll)

:: The weather has definitely turned - I can hear the wind whistling down the chimney tonight ::

:: We both have colds.  I started on Monday and am beginning to feel a little better (ish), Marleyman's started yesterday.. sniff sniff...cough cough ::

:: We finally had a milk delivery!!! ::

(many phone calls and a £10 compensation credit later and I was asked to try again)

:: We are working our way through bags of Clementines in the hope that the Vit C will help with the colds ::

:: I took delivery of a new kitchen bin ::
(I will try not to sound too excited but I love it!)

That is it - too much work and feeling very under the weather has meant no walks and nothing much else really.  But hey - it is Friday and we have a visitor on Sunday for the SUPERBOWL!  

Happy weekend!

Milk Shortage...

It is official... we are "non deliverable". 

Anyone would think I lived up some back alley or out in the sticks...not just off the A30!!

On my THIRD attempt at getting milk delivered, STILL NO MILK! 

DairyCrest/Milk&More - you are offically RUBBISH

(at least in this area - I know people reading this have very good experiences with them, which is what introduced me to them in the first place.

I am so dissappointed - do I have to put up with those hideous plastic bottles forever. 

More investigation needed!

Milkman do-over

I am not about to start bashing my local milkman... rather I am hoping I will see one for the first time!

Back in May of last year I registered with Milk&More to get our milk delivered in "proper milk bottles".  However things were NOT meant to be (see this post...and this one)

I was so fed up of seeing THIS in the kitchen (quite a large % of our recycling seems to be plastic milk bottles and it is one of the few things our door step recycling service does not take, so build up till we remember to take them to our local recycling centre)

Excuse the very unsophisticated and rather ugly recycling solution

Well, I am STILL FED UP with those plastic bottles so I am going to try again.  I have phoned Milk&More and discussed how unhappy I was with trying TWICE to get milk delivered.  They have very nicely called me back after investigation and assured me my service should go ahead with no problems

So hopefully I will see one of these on the doorstep tomorrow morning...

Fingers crossed....

Got Milk?

NO

Registered on the site on Wednesday for my first delivery today, however today...NO MILK

Phoned them and a mistake was made - now needs to start Monday

Need to go BUY milk now

Roll on Friday...

Thanks to this post by Mrs B at After All the World is a Beautiful Place (a blog I have recently discovered and LOVE along with The Big Stove) I have just GOT A MILKMAN!!! His name is apparently Steve!!

More on Friday when I can expect my first order!
