I had a wet walk with Ellie. Mal stayed indoors as he still has “man flu” but I have to say the symptoms seem to be going very quickly. I then went to Westwood. Firstly to return some rotten apples to Tesco that I bought at the weekend. Two packs and four bad apples! I only took one of the packages and three apples and so she would only give me refund on one pack. In fact even that was too much trouble. They were for dessert for the BBQ on Monday so I had been really annoyed, even more so by the time I arrived home today! I told her she could check on my clubcard how many I bought. She said she couldn’t and it was my fault I only took one back! I know now why people just bin rotten food that should still be in date and fresh.

Next I had ordered a really nice top from Debenhams which arrived by post. It had a catch right in the front of it! The assistant in there was very nice. They didn’t have one in store so she would get one sent out next day delivery for me. I then told her I wasn’t pleased having to drive all that way when it was their fault. The Manager came and he gave me a credit note for £5. Much better service.

When I arrived home I phoned Tesco customer service. I was told the assistant followed “correct procedures” but he didn’t agree with her attitude. As I said, maybe the whole consignment were bad and I was trying to be helpful. After quite a battle he emailed me £2 to cover the cost of the second pack of apples and £5 for my trouble. Maybe that was after I said I would be going to Sainsbury instead! He didn’t really care anyway.

I wish I could just buy things and they were as they should be. Most people I know just can’t be bothered!

I had lunch with the Red Hatters. Thirteen of us today, our chapter is growing!

My philosophy in life is “Pay it forward” and I managed it today.

Wow what an entertaining game of football in the evening. I have to say Spurs weren’t looking too good in the first half but I guess Pocho had a good team talk half time and they are now through to the final. YEAH!!!!! All down to a 96th minute goal. Very exciting.
