I have a hectic week ahead. I found that the only delivery slot for my groceries which was practical (and would arrive before I found I needed to actually venture out to the shops for myself) was the 9pm-10pm slot this evening.
Tomorrow is Parents' Evening for my Year 7 classes. Year 7 parents are invariably keen to attend. I have no problem with this (it's better than the alternative) but it will be a long evening... and tonight I'm really tired...
Anyone care to bet against the delivery van arriving at the end of the slot?
UPDATE: Wow! All bets are off. The delivery arrived at 9:10pm. So all I have to do is unpack it all, and then I shall have a very early night...
Regrettably, I cannot bet against that even in a gentleman's wager. I have a principled problem with losing. :-p
ReplyDelete(I had a fridge delivered yesterday. I had to call repeatedly to even GET my time slot, and then they came 45 minutes after the end of the slot. Nine P.M. Grr...)
But hope springs eternal!
I actually had one come earlier than the late slot because he had finished all his other deliveries for the day - so you never know!
ReplyDeleteWhen I get groceries from Peapod, they ALWAYS show up right on time - at the early part of the delivery window.
ReplyDeleteI had the guy call once and he was about 30 minutes early but wanted to know if he could go ahead and deliver the groceries. Um, yes?
