I was pleased when my local milk firm said they were going on line. Fabulous, no more scratching around in my purse each week, it meant I could pay by direct debit and I could even alter my orders up to 9pm at night.

So last night I decided to increase my milk order by an extra 2 pints as a one off, since hubby has gone back on the protein shakes with his regular visits to the gym, my two kiddywinks have decided they like milk again, and I’m partial to a nice hot choc at night to help me sleep (I’m not that old really).

So this morning I opened my front door and was greeted to 25 pints of milk, I was only expecting 4! I quickly logged on to discover I had actually typed in 23 instead of 2. I rang milk & more and they were really helpful and understanding, they kept me on the line for a couple of minutes to ring the depot and organised collection straight away, they were fantastic really.

The only thing I didn’t get was why their system didn’t flag up a warning that it was a huge order, or why the milkman who has delivered my milk for the past year didn’t twig it was unusual that a family of 4 would be needing 25 pints of milk that day!

I was talked into buying a new HD TV for the world cup by my husband. I’m not really that into football, but I will support my country and do like the buzz of the world cup, plus it’s a good excuse for a party! I was thinking a new TV might be nice for watching fashion TV and films I guess. Our old TV was ancient, about as deep as it was wide, a lardy heavy block of a thing. We’re not that bothered about having up to the minute technology, a TV is a TV right? Well, I’ve actually changed my tune now we have this Regza LV6**D Digital Series 40 inch HD one! What on earth were we doing for all those years letting our old ‘Thompson’ (who!?) TV sit in our living room for so long!? Even when there were credits at the end of films, half the writing wouldn’t fit on the 28 inch screen. Anyway, this one is fab, looks the business, sleek black and crystal clear picture, and if England win – it’s FREE!! Yay! We bought it from Sainsbury’s for £400 (down from £550 I believe) and registered the purchase on line, fingers crossed!
