I would first like to point out that the title is neither a request or command, so any of you preparing to warm up your vocal chords can relax!
I was expecting delivery of a new fire for the sitting room today, indeed I even had an email that enabled me to track its progress.
Having waited in for the washing machine repair man, (nice chap, fixed it hooray!) I held on for a few more hours for the delivery,but then felt I must go shopping. I wasn't too worried, as previously parcels have been left in the shed.
Driving to Holsworthy (the long way, as Dipper Mill Bridge is yet again closed) I passed the Yodel van parked in a rather remote spot. I think the driver may have been having a wee and was tempted to stop and ask if he had a parcel for Mrs Phoenix, but thought better of it under the circumstances. Now I wish I had, as long as he didn't want to shake my hand
Got home to find the card through the door. The reason for non delivery was given as "the sender has requested a signature from you or your neighbour for your parcel".
my neighbour who was walking to her house (next door) saw the driver knock on my door, then get in the van and drive off! NO attempt to ask her if she would take it in!
Phoned Yodel, they will "attempt" to re-deliver tomorrow, (I will be at work) and will try to leave it with a neighbour, but if no-one is around it will go back to the depot again!
I am definitely NOT pleased.
On a different note, number 2 of the Christmas decorations that I didn't mean to order has been safely delivered. I need to print off returns labels, and get them sent back before Mr P decides he wants to keep all of them but of course the printer is out of ink.
Is it too early for a glass of something?
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?

Is there anyone who still thinks that Israel's actions in Gaza are justifiable?
