Merry Christmas Everyone

Merry Christmas all,wish you a lovely time wherever you are and also a Happy New Year in advance.

Another disappointing experience

For the second time, I have been defeated by online shops this christmas. I have used this website before,very good and varied choice to choose from but as it is located in the States, you have to wait for ages to get your order. It adds to the pleasure that you have to wait for the post to arrive,as most of our posts goes to next door neighbours or come with different names :)

This time I bought a couple of T-shirts, in the end of November but still haven't heard anything from them. So, I dropped them a line to see what is happening,once was told that it's still within time that I should expect for delivery. But after 20 days I sent them another email,told that they are sorry about and they will cancel my order and send it again for me AT NO EXTRA COST. But guess what, the stuff I wanted is out-of-stock so have been advised to try later,they might be available.

If you were in my shoes,would you use them again?Although I badly wanted those stuff,but would never buy anything from them again,they spoiled the fun in shopping.

Online Christmas Shopping

I don't know about you guys,but I usually search alot in different ways to find a good bargain,but,have to remember not always go for the cheap option.Sometimes I prefer to pay more but get the item I want fast and from a secure source.

This christmas,I was looking for bargains and as you can expect found loads,but some didn't have the stuff I wanted ,so I ended up using this website.Good prices and wide variety,so I ordered with this in mind that they are in stock. But guess what,when you do order,you receive an email that the items you have ordered are out of stock and will be sent to you as soon as they are available. So, I called them up and the answer I got is,although what I say is right and no where on the website says they are out of stock,but on the other hand,it doesn't say that they are in stock either!!!
I have ordered some other stuff from another source,but they have done the same thing,so if you wanna order online you better check before putting your order in,and see if it says the items you want is in stock,otherwise try other sources.

Our Incident

Last week we had a small incident which could have been easily solved but as everything has been centralised and goes through call centres,it didn't.

The problem was our key broke in the lock,guess when?Friday evening when the weather couldn't be worse,dark and cold.I tried to get it out myself but due to lack of light and equipment,and on top of all that,freezing cold,didn't manage to do so.So,what you do is you call up a locksmith.

They took all the details and said that their contractor will call and arrange the time,Reminder:the weather is cold we are wet and staying in the car is not very ideal.

He called,checked the address on his Satnav and said he would be approx. 30 to 40 minutes.And just to take the key out of the lock is equal to their hourly rate of £72.00.

We sat there hoping he would be there quick,after 80 minutes,yes 1 hour and 20 minutes later,we called them up again.They said please get in touch with the contractor direct,and gave us another number.Guess what?another call centre :o) I was a bit (if you understand what I mean) frustrated. They said they will give the guy who is on his way a call and will call us back ASAP. 10 minutes later,still nothing. I couldn't believe this,so,I called them up again and again they gave me the same answer.So,I did what I thought was right and told them that I don't need them no more and cancelled it.Tried some more locksmiths,but due to bad weather they all refused to come out. So,I did what I should have done ages ago,I broke one of the small windows by the door.The amazing thing is we called somebody up to fix the window and I bought a new cylinder for the lock,and all this cost us less than £72.00. By the way,after breaking the glass,about 5 10 minutes later,MR LOCKSMITH turned up,which as you might guess faced an angry man.

i just wanted to share this nice experience with you as well,so in case,it happens to you,you know what to do,JUST BREAK THE WINDOW :o)

Finally

Finally, it came,yeah of course I meant SNOW. I just looked out of window and faced this,although it's nice and also it helps to kill the coldness of weather but it also means that you have to leave the warmness of your bed and go to work.No doubt that there would be more cars on the road as a result and more traffic.

I remember when we were kids,we used to love snow,mostly because if it was heavy schools were shut and we would have had fun.I remember it was always a big relief hearing those words on the radio that due to heavy snow,the schools in certain areas are shut.
It's good to have a white christmas,don't you think so?

Very interesting view

I was reading different sections of BBC Persian the other day and I came across this article. It has been done by a British Tourist on his visit to Iran, not his ideal sort of destination in the beginning but his view changes as soon as he sees the real Persia.It makes a good read, unfortunately for some,it's in Persian.But don't be disappointed as you can listen to the story said by Jimmy himself.

Happy Halloween 2005

Picture of our Halloween party on friday night,we had a spider cake as well :o)

Failure

A friend of mine sent me an email a while ago,which I share with you.
She said to do these things:

1.Go to Google.com
2.Type in Failure
3.Then click on I am feeling Lucky.

Have a look at the result,which is a major failure but the way they have linked this is good.Have a good day.

My Main Babies

Those who know me,would know that I have had cats for a while and this is not the first time.As my mom reminded me I shouldn't forget my main ones,the ones that I have seen grow and turn to real cats.
So here I share their pictures as they are now,lovely creatures.

Pickles having a nap

I think the picture needs no explanation as it is so cute.Our kittens just fall sleep after running hours,very energetic good way to wake-up and get ready to go to work in the morning as well ;o)Here you can see Pickles having a little nap.
