..............well guys, this blog is still in the making, have had so many requests to add photo's - yes, amtrying to work the site out as I good order along, and have to give the IT director ( Lise ) a break whilst she gets over her Spanish holiday !! ( God, I want her life ) :) :)
Gotta share this with you, I have become a complete " on-line " shopper !!!!! Yes, anything needed, on line I go....... And they deliver ! Absolute winner for a cripple - YES, the pics look great, but trust me ....... What arrives is not quite what it looked like. There is something to be said about seeing in the flesh before purchasing ! AMAZON is NOT what it seems...... Be very aware if using this site - make sure the items you are buying are those that Amozon stock !!!!!!!!. Not paying attention, I ordered 10 pairs of pure cotton pants ( bearing in mind that my injury dictates seams, zips, pockets, buttons etc etc as my skin is a major concern ) - My fault, I think I have a winner, order, pay and sure as promised, within 4 days, pants arrive ! I was in the kids department - no problem I assume, I email Amazon requesting a return for a men's size, or a refund if not available in larger sizes ( not an unreasonable request )...........AMAZON completely fob me off and inform me that they cannot help as they are not the stockists, and I must contact the supplier direct - I do this, to be return mailed that I have two options :
1) Give them to somebody that they will fit, or
2) Send them back and the returns fee is so high that it is not worth returning.
Then I get a mail saying I must post them back to an address in China ( very broken English ), at my expense, and they will post me a larger size - not to be repeated or I lose all !!!!!
AMAZON - you suck !!! - check their website out - very small print on order final saying weather or not they stock the item and out source et etc etc.
On a more positive note, today, broke all of the rules from Alcatraz and headed out to lunch, wine and fantastic friends - was gonna take the carer but discided to take the sub-carer instead. Primary Jeeves nose right outa joint ! Sub Jeeves over the moon , to be getting out and about. Fantastic road abilities, allowing me to face all slopes, bumps and paving disable nightmares as I can ! Rameez.... You rock ! Allowing me to take control of what's out there and believing that I can do it out there with confidence - note to self - Make sure that care company assigns Rameez to me as often as possible.
Life is slowly but surely starting to take itself back for me. When I am as confident to entrust myself with the sub-carer, have confidence in attacking the outside world as I have,........things have to be turning ...... But, must not fool myself into a quicky recovery - all support and help behind the scenes are still so nessesary.
Met with N at the station, again thanks to Rameez for getting me there - ramps and all that proactive shit with the station staff - Waterloo to Kingston.
Easy access to restuarant, amazing pizza, and even better company !!!!!! Nic, Graaam, Warren, Christene, Lloyd and Lina - Thank you sooooooo much for just treating me as I was before. I love you guys ! Best of all, today I met somebody who was just an embryo when I had my accident. Nine months of update from Gramme and Graaampe ( French spelling unknown ! ) and now a tiny little boy - NOAH !!!!!! We love you third couz !!!
Until later,praise, love, and thank what we have......love ya
