i concede that husband is convincing

one of the downsides to living in london is that our home becomes a default storage facility for family and friends who buy things online. then again, it's probably our fault for offering in the first place. but we're such big softies when it comes to the people we hold dear that i'm more than happy to lug home health supplements and milk powder and baby clothes (for other people's babies). doesn't hurt that it's the mister who does the heavy lifting... 

so recently we'd a tiny h&b kerfuffle. to spare you the mundane details, i wanted the mister to put an order through because being the mature, responsible adult i am, i managed to temporarily misplace my wallet and cards. of course the website acts up and only part of the order goes through. throw in fast expiring vouchers and having to pay for shipping (i'm such a sucker for marketing ploys), there i was getting myself into a right tizzy. so i send the mister a terse whatsapp telling him to please fix it.

within minutes he's got it sorted. and we end up in a better position (1. free shipping on two orders, neither of which qualify for free shipping... 2. use of vouchers from two separate accounts despite only making the purchases from one account) than if the order had gone through correctly the first time. while i wonder about my new year resolution to remain calm and serene despite the circumstances (haha, as if!) i'm ever grateful for a +1 who magically makes my tiny, insignificant problems go away.
