That’s a good point @66Mustang I hadn’t thought of that! ?

Today I booked a hotel for my birthday trip to Scotland. We were due to go on the month of my birthday (November) but postponed it due to the restrictions and have now re-booked for March. I hope we get to go but if we have to cancel it again then we are allowed to at least.

Nice one fingers crossed you get to go and have a wonderful time

Thanks @janer1967

This morning I ordered a new fridge from Amazon for £89.99 and now it is retailing for £85.99 just a few hours later. I have emailed the company suggesting they refund me the £4 but not sure whether they will or not.

I could return the fridge for a refund then just buy it again which would cause added hassle for both me and the seller, and added expense for the seller (probably more than £4) so it would make sense for them to refund me.

I know it is only £4 but every penny counts to me

No I’d never heard of that but it looks interesting thanks @woodbine

66Mustang

Oh that sounds useful as well, very nice

I like to think I’m a good shopper and never pay more than I have to but I wonder how much I’ve lost through not having used these in the past haha

What is everyone up to? I am enjoying an Old Fashioned while browsing forums

Very sophisticated @66Mustang! I'm working (obviously), drinking coffee, and bopping along to some nostalgic tunes

Mentioning Van Morrison's 'Here Comes The Night,' on the music thread earlier got me listening to this, then a concert he did last year, then David Gilmour, Phil Collins & early Genesis concerts. So I've been listening to a variety of music. I was at a small venue featuring Van Morrison with Them when I was a student, so have always had a soft spot for him; still singing really well in his 70s.

@chiarieds that happens to me when I watch something on YouTube. i.e. watching related videos then related videos of the related videos. I think they call it “falling down a hole” or something.

I’ve got an Amazon order coming apparently between 7-10pm that seems quite late. Is that normal? I wonder if it will be cancelled and re-delivered tomorrow.

Tori_Scope

I fall down YouTube holes all the time @66Mustang  

That does seem quite late, but I think I've had parcels arrive that late before too. You often never quite know when they're going to arrive though!

66Mustang

Well done doing that @woodbine, it is annoying getting the wrong item but I’m glad they look OK. 

57 nights that’s not too many.

Update finally got all my amazon parcels wow that was some saga 

Fingers crossed it's all ok for the future 

66Mustang

I’m glad to hear it @janer1967 hopefully it goes smoothly from now on

Ross_Alumni

Whoop, glad you finally have them @janer1967  

Tori_Scope

Did you end up getting your parcel @66Mustang? 

66Mustang

Yes I got it in the end thanks @Tori_Scope It turned up at around 8pm.
