Grump

[spindle_ella]

 Neither my leather order nor my elastic order has arrived, so that's buggered up plans a bit.  *grumpity-grump-grump*  (The plan was to finish off 4-5 notebooks, go into town and post them and my cards, see if I can book a restaurant*, pick up groceries, and stay in tomorrow for Rington's and a Yodel delivery.  Now I will have to do restaurant, cards and groceries today, try to work post run around Rington's tomorrow, and set delivery for another day, which is inconvenient and also raises pain-levels as it involves two trips into town).

Best laid plans and all that.


* Parental units: "Oh, we're going to come up there on the 22nd, can you book a meal somewhere nice?"  Sure, sure, I can deffo get a booking on the Saturday before Christmas with less than a fortnight's notice.




ETA: found a place.  Lord only knows what the food's like, but I found a place.

I have several things that I've ordered that are taking forever to get here as well. The Post Office is always crazy this time of year!

Yeah, the leather's on special delivery because it's such a big order, so they must be heaving to miss that target.

Maybe try some of the places further out? Or at odd times? There's some Italian places in Heaton that look/are nice and are slightly less well known than those in the city centre.

I ventured into the gentrified part of town and found somewhere. The booking's for later than they wanted, but hey, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[notasupervillain]

You did the impossible!

I hope things go better soon and you can take it easy!

[spindle_ella]

Thank you! Things should be a bit lighter after I get my order count down to zero.

Sounds like a frustrating day... glad you were at least able to find a restaurant.
