My toweling order!

Hello Kxxxxxx:

I appear to have a problem with the shipping calculator on my website, you were charged shipping in error, shipping is included in the price of the toweling.  I would be glad to send an additional yard of the toweling to you to make up the shipping charges.  If you would prefer a refund, please let me know.  I will hold up shipping the item until close of business Wednesday awaiting your reply. 

Pregnancy woes.

"Nappies arrived! Crazy almost two Weeks after the others!

Oh and this pregnancy just gets better I've got my Ching Cong Chinaman back aka my hemarroid. How can I get through a twin pregnancy without much drama but this one i'm getting it all, lucky me!

From my super Swipey Phone"

*UPDATE*

"Did you get my email saying that the other nappies have arrived! How can 2 items turn up 2 weeks apart?? Thanks though

Ok here's a what would you do?

The toots are currently in nursery for 2 days a week from9 to 2. Their current place does not open on any other days.

A place s friend goes to does 5 days a week, with the minimum 3 sessions but a session could either be 830 to 1130 or till 2. I'm just thinking that with the new baby would it be easier to do the shorter session but 3 mornings a week then home for lunch and quiet time then the baby could sleep and we'd all be ready for an afternoon Play somewhere. I don't even know if there are places available yet just thinking."

 

(I have emailed her to let her know she reached the wrong person. She just needed to know.)

Mobile plan endorsement or actual email?

Just got a fab new phone. Blackberry has gone I got a Samsung galaxy but the old version because its smaller. And I've got a fab deal 70 bucks a month which includes unlimited calls texts and internet and unlimited international calls and texts, calls to landline only.

Just got back from swimming the toots had the best lesson in ages riles spent the whole time doing an underwater wiggle and managed to positively move forwards! Then at the end they both floated/moved their arms and legs enough that they moved forward to get to the edge.  I think when we start going to the pool again in the summer they will do  brilliantly!

He knows a lot about boats. And fishing.

Hi Kxxxxxx!

    Good talking with you last night....even though I was sad to hear your bad news about your prop- shaft and motor problems. I really am envious of your ability to just deal with these kind of things in such a positive manner. Boats are probably even worse than a car in that there always seems like something needs doing on them ( wood boats even more so). I was thinking after talking to you that you could probably just leave the existing motor in place (as long as your thru hull fitting/packing is not damaged and leaking), and make a decision later on to either remove it when you have the boat out of the water / or fix the shaft and motor !As I say unless it's leaking there's no reason to take immediate action...Don't you think? Anyway best of luck with your project to install that new outboard motor!

   Haven't been out fishing yet...but may try try XXXXX or XXXXX lake this weekend. Had a club meeting last Wed. and the talk was that things were starting to happen on the local lakes. Have you been out lately or is the river up and wild now?

  Work on this new house for Xxxxx is going along pretty good . What a house.....not real big but really complex. Ultra-modern which is a change for Brian. It has 2 flat (green) roofs that have decks off them, so that when your out on the decks your surrounded by wild flower plantings. At least thats the idea!

  Anyway, keep the spirits up, and best of luck with your boat projects. Will keep in touch and hopefully make it over to see you sometime in the near future!

                                                                

Just so you know ...

Whenever I receive an email that looks like it really needs to get to someone, I respond to the sender to let them know that they've reached the incorrect party. For example, the kid who sent me his college final exam? I let him know. And even with the most recent one for a room reservation, I let them know so that they don't charge the person a fee for not responding with menu selections on time.

There was a doozy of one that I wish I had kept - it was a fishing trip of a bunch of men, talking about their reservations, their plans, and what goodies their wives could contribute. It was like I was reading a Mad Men script. Ah well, maybe again someday.

The room is only semi-private? I'd cancel.

"Hi Kxxxxxx,

Thank you for your reservation at XXXXX on Thursday 4/19 from 6pm-730pm for 20 people in our semi-private spiral room! There is a $300 food and beverage minimum plus tax and 18% gratuity with billing on one check. We have a 3-day cancellation policy, there is a $100 charge plus the cost of the preset menu if a cancellation occurs within 3 days of the reservation.

I would like to receive your menu selections by Thursday 4/12, and your final guest count and confirmation are due by 9am Monday 4/16. Once I receive your menu selections, I will put together a formal menu confirmation for you to review and confirm.

Please let me know if you have any further questions!"
