Today I bought nothing and yesterday I bought nothing but I did receive a parcel the other day, Oooops!!!
Our postman arrived literally 10 minutes ago. I was in the hallway as he was pushing mail through the letterbox and then he must have seen my outline through the glass in the door and changed his mind about trying to squash a packet through as well so he decided to knock. I opened the door and he was wearing a head torch plus another torch fastened onto his jacket. Our mail delivery staff have been like pic n mix, our regular postman left delivery to go and work in the sorting office and since then we never seem to get the same post person twice. Anyway thankfully the dog and cat worming pills were in one piece rather than crushed if he`d squashed the packet through the letterbox. Small mercies !
My postie is lovely, if it says do not bend she rings the bell to hand it to me.I may have mentioned this before, but my postie was FOLDING all my letters in half before posting.
A couple of weeks ago ago I stuck a note on the letter box asking them not to do this, and since than it has been OK.
I also have a parcel safe on the wall next to the front door, with a note saying to lock it if they leave items in it, but they never do. Neither do they bother to ring when they leave items in it.
Thank you, no I didn’t, he didn’t want me to.Lloyd, Well done to your Son, but have you complained to RM? He should be issued with another certificate.
I don't know how the postal service is organised across the country but this area hasn't employed temps this Christmas & our regular people are working double shifts.The PO has so many temps at Christmas that sending cash in a card is a real risk. Our Postie is lovely, as are all the Posties I know in the local sorting office (though I no longer know them all as the office was merged with a larger one.
Our Postie did tell us a few years ago to watch the local press for the story of the temp who took all the sacks to a remote area, opened the 'interesting' post (handwritten addresses are a dead giveaway), and dumped the rest in a ditch. He did it for a few weeks until a load of complaints had been received of post not arriving. He was, according to the story, shocked that he was expected to walk around with the post and put it through people's letterboxes!
I love knitting but I'm easily bored, I can't tell you how many jumper fronts and cardigan backs I had knitted before they were abandoned.I knit, would you believe, dolls clothes. Most of them go to America where there is a massive market. You would be surprised how much people will pay for a doll's jumper, however, they are for collectors mostly. I love making small things as I get fed up half way through people sized items and never finish them.

I had one from Ocado, I’m the number 1 for Spanish Empanadas apparently .I’ve just received an email from Marks detailing my shopping habits by rank.
Apparently I am No 7 of those buying onions (I buy spring onions every week)!
No batteries, but a USB thing to charge it. It is more sturdy than I expected as the cat has been kicking the hell out of it and throwing in the air.When I saw those advertised I wondered if they had those small flat batteries and wouldn’t be convinced any cat I ever had wouldn’t have been able to rip it to pieces and swallow the battery.
I had to look them up and they sound great. Unfortunately we have few stores here and none that would do that.I had one from Ocado, I’m the number 1 for Spanish Empanadas apparently .
They are lovely, I have them with the Charlie Bighams Spanish Chicken that Mazza recommended. Both have become a weekly favourite.I had to look them up and they sound great. Unfortunately we have few stores here and none that would do that.
