I am annoyed at myself for not paying attention.

I decided that I would have McDons breakfast, mainly because I have been SO FUCKING GOOD this week that I lost 2 and a half pounds.
So before I crack on with the diet, I figured some sausage/pancakes might be a nice treat.

But no!
Somehow I managed to order it and send it to Pets at Home by mistake, which happened to be the last place I took an Uber to.

I wouldn't mind but I ordered it at 9.08 and they said it would arrive at 9.45 - yet the McDons and the Pets at Home are IN THE SAME shopping park (!), LITERALLY 30 seconds apart. I could walk from one to the other in less than 2 minutes.

But I didn't realise that until he phoned me to say he was "outside". Rushed out to my front door, no sign of anybody holding a bag of McDons.

This, of course, was exacerbated by the fact that my delivery driver spoke little-to-no English and had to get a passing Englishwoman to tell me he was standing outside Pets at Fucking Home, and to translate the fact that I was not there, I was a mile and a half away.
I just shouted at her (sorry, madam!) to tell him to cancel the fucking order. I blame the extreme hunger.

Didnt really want the fucking plastic junkfood anyway

I've ordered a bunch of project bike stuff online, so when I rushed down to the door today, I was expecting the delivery man. But no, it was a relative. Awful, awful character, who thinks things and people should be exactly a certain way and do certain things, etc. Type of guy who'll talk ill of you behind your back but is syrupy sweet in front of your face. I was rather hoping never to see his face again for the rest of my days, but it wasn't meant to be. Is it simply impossible to distance oneself from certain people without actually leaving the country? I'll get over it. But still, that will teach me to actually curtain twitch before opening the door.

Yes, got some contact cleaner in the shed, I'll give it a go.

Might be me, but the neck pickup seems to have lost something in tone with it.

Amazon - I ordered 4 x 2.5 litres of deionised water for my Triffids. It was out for delivery when I got a message that there was an issue and the delivery was cancelled and I'd get a refund in 5 days or so.

OK, I thought maybe the doofus had dropped it and split the container or something so went to reorder and the price has gone from £1.50 a 2.5l container to £6 fucking 26.

Bastards.

It's a good thing the weathers shit. I've put 3 buckets and a couple of bowls out to collect the water so my bug eating babies can have a nice drink.

People who flatter themselves with the pretence they are working class as they imagine it endows themselves with some kind of social credibility, when in fact they are as middle class as a BBC sitcom.
