Rant about Amazon couriers

I tend to. Use Amazon for items I won't find in stores or will be too expensive in store  but I do wish Argos would be one the giant it once was I miss the experience of getting the items in store and not online/in a small part of Sainsbury's 

I'm. Currently in one of my anti consumerism moods tbh but it's because I value feelings more than stuff but not to the extent of I would give up all my stuff but I always find my self chasing the balance 

I'm currently getting one more model beofre outing modeling building and painting on hiatus but a lot of that has come from amazon with mixed experience

I used to love flicking through their brick of a catalogue. I'd rather queue as well.

I miss catalogues, I find sometimes I don't know what to put in the search or it comes up with different things than you asked for.

Yes I remember spending hours as a child cutting out pictures. It is problem solving too as you work out the best way to cut them out. Someone gave us a thick catalogue and it lasted for ages. Cutting out and making pictures is therapeutic. I also remember making mosaic pictures with bits from magazines. 

I miss paper catalogues too, I found I had a much better idea of what I was looking at, because the pictures wern't just of the object in isolation, but next to other things so you got a sense of scale and context. I find web pictures to flat somehow and I can't gauge them properly for size or shape.

I also miss doing cutting and sticking with small friends, like my friends little boy, when I was looking after him for a couple of hours. A big sheet of lining paper and an argos and IKEA catalogue and he had a great time making a new house for mummy. It also help children learn dexterity in a away a computer never will
