Feeling a bit lost now

[fluffymark]

And after months of eating lots and lots of chocolates, a sad day. Today I opened the last remaining box of chocolates I got last Christmas. Soon they will be no more. I've only put on minimal weight despite this half-year long chocolate binge. Ah well.

But we now have new yummy chocolates being delivered monthly, as I'm now in a chocolate tasting club. woooo.

Last night was fun - thanks to all you lovely people I met. People were being really nice to me. Yay.

Spent the past few hours making many phonecalls to both Bristol Ticket Shop (who were helpful) and the Post office (who are evil and totally useless) to determine the location of mine (and doseybat's) Trowbridge tickets. As far as I have surmised - they were orignally sent out Special Delivery on June 3rd, and for some unfathomable reason got delivered to and signed for by the shop at 654, who then sat on them and failed to get them to me. No wonder I couldn't locate them. They claim they handed the tickets back to the postman later. I complined they hadn't arrived, and Bristol Ticket office resent out the tickets, this time normal 1st class on July 2nd, and these are now "presumed lost in post". Aaaargh. Although normal first class has no insurance on lost items, I may still be able to claim "consequential damage" on the failure of the Special Delivery to arrive as promised, which is insured for that sort of thing. Or something. If I can actually get to speak to anything other than a automated device at the post office, that is. Grrrr. And even when I do, I bet they'll claim that because it was signed for, it was delivered, and therefore not their problem anymore. Bristol Ticket shop are helpfully trying to pursuade Trowbirdge that my tickets have been lost, but need "proof of failure of delivery" which is not obvious. Ack. *stressed*

New computer still dead. *meeeep*

Need to eat more chocolate I think.

There appears to be a Gourmet Food market set up literally right on our doorstep (as in, theres a massive hotplate serving paella just 2m from our front door!!), so I think I'll investigate that. *bounce* And then ixwin's MSND readthrough later to look forward to. :)

Update: Food market gorgeous - delighted to find a stall (again, on our doorstep) selling French cheese, and they ratehr charmingly only spoke French and still had scales which calculated the price in Francs. Awwww. Also obtained Rye bread, proper turkish delight (in many flavours I'd never seen before) and proper sausuages. Mmmmmmmmmmmm. *lickslips* Should be a good lunch!

A word of advice: the best time to call the post office is around 6 or 7am - you're more likely to catch someone in. They all bugger off to the canteen for fried breakfasts at 10am.

Clearly we have some sort of telepathic connection. I was just about to send you some chocolate. :)
