okay, the saga continues...........despite DHL calling me and letting me know it would DEFINITELY arrive today as they have redirected it...........yes, you guessed it, NOTHING !!!! Im still here with just an empty lighted cover to play with. As pretty as the light is, it just doesn't cut it, I wants me Sony reader LOL

So, will see what happens tomorrow, there will then be 2 readers waiting to arrive, the orginal and the replacement, surely one will make it safely???
Tune in tomorrow for the next instalment

HI Chris.
I got 597 too, the extra 500 will be added in the next 72 hours according to Waterstones..........if they don't appear then call them to get them added.........

Hi babyd,

Don't you just hate couriers!

I have been known to drive across the countryside trying to find the driver to collect important packages!

Regards

Chris

Hi babyd,

Thanks for that.

Chris

Hi Guys,

I'm very amused to read about your problems with DHL couriers. I didn't bother with the extra charge and accepted to free delivery and my excellent 505 arrived this afternoon.

babyd · 09-04-2008, 04:22 PM

Okay, you ready? It has finally arrived, delivered by DHL at 9pm tonight !!!!!

There I was, crest-fallen and moody, ready to watch Big Brother, and a knock at the door...........

I have only had a quick look to check it works, which it does, but am banned from playing with it on the PC till morning, as I have a bad habit of staying on here for hours with new gadgets

So far, I love it, really pretty and sleek. Just wanna get some books on there now. So will get the proper fix tomorrow morning when Hubby and Daughter go to work, then its mine al mine Mwaahahahahahah {evil laugh}

Okay, so the replacement is supposed to arrive tomorrow, and Im supposed to refuse delivery............what to do? Im thinking I pretend to be out, then make DHL come back the next day, pretend to be out again, get him to come back a third time then refuse delivery on the doorstep, just to get revenge

What do you think? Or can you come up with a better plan LOL

Anyway, off to play with my new baby, can read the few samples on there for now then get serious in the morning...

Night night guys, thanks for the support and letting me vent LOL

hugs to you all

I'd check your time settings in your profile.

Babyd's post time stamp read 9:22PM to me

dogsballs · 09-05-2008, 05:35 AM

this is very strange my time is showing as gmt but 1 hour slower than it really is

HarryT · 09-05-2008, 05:38 AM

We're not on GMT at the moment - we're an hour ahead of GMT.
