Can't wait for bed time!!

 Isn't it lovely when your day goes just right? I wanted a copy of Kristin Hannah's  'Winter Garden.' An ebook via my kindle was the cheapest, so I bought it to read in bed. Annoyingly it failed to down load. So I cancelled it, waited a bit,  bought it again.. Didn't down load again, so cancelled it again. I was really disappointed, but looked and found a paper backed copy on ebay, from Awesome books, only  £4.91, cheaper than an ebook and no postage. The kindle version was £5.99!

It arrived yesterday via the Post Office, I saw the Post man through the kitchen window and rushed to the front door and had a lovely chat with him. He thought our car number plate was Ipswich, in fact its a London one, although we bought it in Suffolk So I practically had his life history, as his in laws are from Suffolk. It was really nice hearing about him, 'I'm not Welsh,' he said, just living here. And indeed he didn't sound Welsh either. I felt proud to say I was from here, born here and moved back home here four and a half years ago.

I couldn't wait to get to bed to read my Kristin Hannah book last night.  Amazon have returned my money, I've never had a problem with money being returned by Amazon. 

So I was a very happy 'bunny' what bliss!!

I've not had many issues with Amazon but, yes, refunds have never been a problem. Well done with getting the book cheaper - enjoy! xx

I love those encounters with people who share info about themselves. It personalizes an encounter which makes it a friendlier world.
