Tesco Online Shopping

Felt I had to blog to share my stupidity with you all! People are always raving about how wonderful online food shopping is, how it saves time, effort blah, blah, blah. So I decided to try it...bad mistake.

First it took me over an hour to place the order (less time than actually going to the shop). Secondly I wasn't home from work when they tried to deliver it so had to ring and rearrange delivery and thirdly (and Stephen will be cross) I seem somehow to have ordered absurd quantities of things like 5 jars of jam, 3 lots of face wash, 7 packets of biscuits and things we don't even eat!!!!!

Is it just me or does this happen to other people too???

Also am very annoyed with my eco head on at how many carrier bags they used to pack everything - why can the packers only fit one thing per carrier bag? Not impressed at the environemntal situation there.

oh well back to walkign round the aisles with my dodgy trolley.

Ok so the service hasn't been started yet!!!

Scrapbooking:
Is one of my new favourite things to do as some of you may know. I love capturing the memories and playing about with photos and nice crafty things. I also like to spend a ridiculous amount of money on buying supplies which I should be saving for my new garage but hey ho!!

I have made several scrapbooks now and have decided that I am going to set up a new blog to show case my work to decide if I'm really serious about sharing it with people and I am also going to practice being a better photographer. Stephen's cousins wife Janine inspires me so much she is such an amazing photographer and scrap booker and I have decided to practice taking photos, I may even take a course on it but I'm not totally decided about it yet. I started practicing at my Dad's birthday and I was quite pleased with a couple of my photos. My dad is an excellent photographer so I'm hoping I may have some hidden talent somewhere!

On Saturday my dad was 60. Stephen and I have had a couple of years now of parents having milestone birthdays, buying special presents and attending nice birthday parties!! This one I was worrried about though, I have never been close to my dad and things have been tricky, so when my step mum invited us to a surprise party for him I knew we had to go but I didn't really want to.

However I am pleased to say we had a fantastic time, the party was excellent, food delicious, wine very good according to Stephen and my dad was really pleased we were there. Everyone made us feel so welcome.

One of my step brothers gave a really moving speech about my dad which made me realise a) he is a very special man, b) I don't know him very well and c) I want to change that. Now I just need to find the grace and the courage to act on that decision.

I seem in the past few weeks to have had lots of things I would like to blog about but no time to do so in. Nothing new then!! So I am going to start now!! Yes indeedy even though I should be planning the service for Sunday evening at Church (I may get a few more done over the next few hours!!)

A few weeks ago now I went to the funeral of a wife of a friend of Stephen's because he couldn't get the time off work and I could. It was the most moving thanksgiving service I have ever been to. St Thomas' in Lancaster was packed out with family, friends, congregation of two Churches and loads of other people. The address was moving and the worship unbelieveably heartfelt, it felt like a glimpse of heaven.

I came away emotionally drained not because I knew the person very well but because of all the emotions that were happening. It was also difficult to see so many dear friends from our time at Lancaster Baptist Church who were all so pleased to see me except for the circumstances. I came away moved but knowing I had seen God at work.
