I'm so annoyed I could spit!!! It was Tom's birthday last Saturday. We bought him a Wii as he has been an absolute star since Anya was born (put up with being dragged from pillar to post for a fortnight while we were in hospital). I knew he wanted a Wii but he never mentioned it once as he knows money is a bit tight at the moment.
Anyway, my mum asked for idea's for a pressie. I asked if she would get him another controller for the Wii, she said she would. So she got it on Thursday 1st May, posts it Special Delivery on the 2nd of May and it's Tom's birthday on the 3rd May. (That annoyed me cos my sisters youngest is on the 2nd May so she has plenty of notice about Tom's birthday). Pressie never arrived. Spoke to her yesterday and she checked online - says they tried to deliver and left a card. No they didn't. Turns out she's sent it to the wrong address - AGAIN!!! We've been here for 3 years!!!!!
Went to where she'd sent it to - they're on holiday so couldn't ask for the card. Asked mum for the Special Delivery number to try and get it from the sorting office, what does she do???? Doesn't ring/text or email it - she's bloody posted it to me!!!!!!! She'll have the pressie back by Monday as they only keep Special Delivery for a week!!!!!
I know we live 90 miles away (and there's a good reason for that) but she runs round after my sisters 4 kids like a demented chicken and she can't even get Tom's pressie to him. She's been to see Anya once. Once!!! Why??? Because it's too cold up north - we're just outside Manchester and she's in Nottingham. Quite happy for me to drag a baby and an 9 year old up and down the motorway though.
Sorry - just needed to rant a bit there.
