I thought I'd jinxed myself yesterday when I tried to log on and amend my Asda slot and found I didn't actually have one booked. I searched my emails for the booking confirmation, checked back on here for the post where I'd mentioned getting a slot, could remember actually sitting and ordering over £60 worth of cat food to reserve the slot and making a mental note to come back and do the actual shop later. But nope, it wasn't there.

In the end, I decided it could have been one of two things. I was deep in post-Covid fatigue at the time so thought I could have actually messed up and not clicked save on the order. Or Asda itself could have blipped. After phoning up it turns out it was neither of those things and I'd saved it via James' account and yes, the order is still coming on Monday. I'm just glad it got sorted as otherwise Monday morning I would have taken delivery of three huge boxes of cat food and a net of satsumas. Which would have been great for the cats, not so much Christmas dinner.

On balance it was a good day yesterday, cards got delivered and we had a nice drive to pick up a cat toy we'd won in an auction to support Consett Cats, the rescue where we got Murphy. Then after getting home a guy came out and changed the kitchen socket. He's a friend of our opposite neighbour and I suspect he gave mate of mates rates as it only cost £10 to get it done, and that included an actual new socket. Excuse the TMI, but I also finally arranged an appointment to get my contraceptive implant changed. Only one doctor can do it in our practice and she hasn't actually been on the premises since the beginning of the year so they advised that I should get in touch with family planning, except getting through to them has been almost impossible.

You can now watch Prime Video via Sky, which is great. This means in the very near future I'm going to watch 'A Christmas Gift From Bob' the Christmas film about Bob the Streetcat. I may not get to see it at the cinema with my festive Costa, but at home will be nearly as good.

I'm also watching the new season of This Is Us on Prime. I still love the show and each episode pulls me in, but man, it can be hard going at times. That family go through the wars and then some.

Things that made me smile lately these photos and article about the Leverage reboot. I'm very much enjoying watching that when it finally airs and have been reading some Leverage OT3 fic amongst my usual Musketeers and Winterhawk.

Oh I’m glad you figured it out. Hee the cats would’ve loved that

Ohh yay for cat toy, sounds like yesterday was productive

Aww nice, let me know if it’s good. I’ve not watched it either

[turps]

I thought I'd gone insane yesterday when I was looking for the order. If I hadn't actually posted about it at the time I would have thought I'd imagined the whole thing.

It was a productive day. I got lots done and it helped it was sunny for once.

I will do. It looks good, but the trailer also seems like the film will have sad bits.

so glad you figured out what was up with the Asda order, and updated it so you have more for dinner than the cats' food!

that Leverage news is just so terrific, isn't it? makes me happy, an eager to see it. maybe I should go read some OT3 to celebrate

[turps]

I know some people say that cat food looks good enough to eat. Well, I'm not one of them! *g*

You should go read some OT3, it's the perfect way to celebrate the reboot.

Glad you solved the Mysteriously Disappearing Asda Order! You'll be a hardy Boys-esque detective in no time! *g*

Glad you had a good, relaxing yet productive day. They are always a welcome event, am I right?

Thanks for the link to the Leverage pics and article! So excited!

[turps]

I can certainly be a third Hardy Boy *g*

I'm just glad I worked out what had happened. I really was starting to think I'd imagined placing an order at all.

They are a welcome event. Getting stuff done but not rushing and running in circles to do so doesn't happen often.

Yes! I'm looking forward to new Leverage so much!

I had to bail on This is Us, I think...somewhere around the beginning/middle of Season 3? All the crying was making me dehydrated. :)

Oh man, was that the season where Jack's death was finally explained? That was brutal.

It's such a good show, but sometimes I don't know why I keep watching because half of the time it's damn depressing.

What a relief that your slot was still there! I hope you have a most excellent Christmas dinner with the proceeds of it, and that the cats don't feel too jealous. :p

Yay for getting home and health tasks taken care of too.

[turps]

I'm sure the cats will be mega jealous when we're tucking into turkey with all the trimmings *g*

It was a very productive day. I like those days.

I'm sure the cats would have loved it but I'm still glad you managed to order food for the humans in the family too. You would have had such a sad Christmas otherwise.

Good to hear you managed to get through to family planning in the end! (I'm so grateful the Swedish version of NHS has made it possible to book/change appointments and renew medicin online. It saves so much time and frustration!)

Have fun watching Bob's Christmas film!

[turps]

It would have been a very sad Christmas with a bag of satsumas our only festive offering *g*

I'm so grateful the Swedish version of NHS has made it possible to book/change appointments and renew medicin online. It saves so much time and frustration!)

I wish we could do this here. It's starting to arrive, my doctor has an app where I can order medicine and cancel appointments, but not actually make them. It took nearly a fortnight of phoning before I actually got to talk to someone at Family Planning and make an appointment which was just a bit frustrating.
