It’s become a day of chasing everything

Nothing to complain about more a case of chasing my tail all day .
This far I have had an unsuccessful trip to collect a parcel supposedly delivered to a local shop .Three shops in fact none had my parcel & unfortunately although I have a tracker number it doesn’t list where it was delivered to !
Oh yes, I did choose the place myself , but as it’s not there I have had to use the ChatGPT which is painful .
Next up literally 4 weeks after having a tyre replaced at a local garage I have had to call almost everyday to chase the receipt. I need this as I am making an insurance claim .
Unfortunately for me the garage( national chain ) which is both local to me & one I have used often was having a refit & closed the day after . The receipt was ‘ supposed’ to be emailed . So 4 weeks on I drove to the retail outlet of the garage to seek help & finally got my hard copy .
Thirdly , having booked next years holiday via an online holiday letting site 3 weeks ago the French hosts cancelled ( change in price ) deposit & foreign transaction fee refunded but NOT the Damage Insurance payment . Getting in touch with anyone on the site re this is proving a nightmare , hosts have not responded but then it wasn’t to them ,so not surprising .
Oh then to top it all , while chasing my parcels I decided to take a punt on a lottery ticket 🎫 well 2 , while the retailer was searching . The outcome of that was that having decided not to do my usual choice of Lucky Dip I chose my own numbers … guess what the machine was out of order ..lol
They could however weirdly do lucky dips & I’ve hung in to this numbers I chose …

I have had days like that too. Today not too bad, so far. The only slight hiccup was when I went to collect my prescription and they couldn't find it. I waited for ages until finally somebody found it it the wrong pile and I had to wait for it to be dispensed.

I have had worse days.grin

I hate those kind of days. I seem to spend my whole time saying to no one in particular
