Click and Collect.

I wish I knew how to stop this blog being called Christmas. There are so many things I don't know.
I don't  know how to click and collect. I know how to click. I just completely forgot I had, and that meant I didn't go and collect. It's an ill wind however that blows nobody any good, (whatever that might mean.)
I did eventually go and collect, except I didn't actually collect when I went. I had parted with £26.24 for a coat which I had no recollection of ordering. On boxing day my daughter wondered if I had changed my mind about getting her a coat for Christmas. I asked which coat. She reminded me I had clicked and was going to collect. After ten days, the company decide you are not going to collect so they return your item to their warehouse and eventually your money to your your account (I hope.) I went onto my click and collect information and the company had not returned the coat to the warehouse, it was 'awaiting collection' in store. I went to 'collect'  so that I could immediately return the coat and receive a refund in person. An assistant gave me the coat all wrapped in its grey plastic package. A more experienced assistant said I couldn't have the coat and receive a refund because ten days were up and the coat would be returned to the warehouse. I explained that my account said the coat was awaiting collection and here I was collecting it. The lady clicked on my account and sure enough I was telling the truth. I had done the click bit right and although I was late, here I was fulfilling the collect part. The grey bag containing my coat lay within easy reach on the counter. I didn't want the coat any more because my daughter had already done her own clicking and got the self same coat for £18.00 in the sale. (That's the ill wind I mentioned) If I received a refund at the point of collection and the system recorded that I had not collected the coat they might refund me at the point of the click as well as at the point of collect and clearly that would never do. By now I was somewhat confused. I left the store with only the clicking still in tact. Hopefully the system will rectify my account.
As I am still calling this blog Christmas even though it isn't and I don't know what to click to stop it, let me mention that so many people click on Christmas but don't collect. The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus, but it's surprising how many people don't bother to collect it. It's all there, it's paid for, you can have it, God wont send it back to the warehouse, so you can collect it any time, I think the New Year would be a really good time to collect, I've discovered that delaying can make things complicated,
