Parcels going mising

You need a rabbit shovel, Mark.

About 45 cm is deep enough for a cat.....With a couple of decent sized rocks on top.
Never had anything trying to dig up the corpses at that depth.

Very similar to you.....It's a bit odd not having a cat about...After having 'OODLES' over the 38 years Mrs T and I looked after 'felines'...But I don't actually miss having them about, at all.

About a third of the 50 (?) we've looked after were truly, really nice creatures.....The next third were 'OK'...and the other third were complete barsteward gits.

Maybe we've been really lucky with the dogs we've had...But I'd take a Labrador for companionship, over any sort of 'moggie' any day.

Cheers - Phil

You know what they say Phil.

Dogs have owners, cats have staff!

Doesn't do to get too chummy with "the help"

Mike......
I deleted that comment from the end of my post, 'cos I've said it so many times.
It's SO true, though.

We did have a cat.  She died last Thursday.  I a not a cat lover, so not too worried about it, although its strange not having her around.

Still and all, sorry for your loss.

If cats had opposable thumbs they wouldn't even try to act domesticated. It is known.

Sorry Orcs.

The worst bit was that Mrs Orcs wanted to bury her in the garden.  I had to dig a hole " feet deep to put her in as we have badgers and foxes in the garden.  I covered the box woth wood and a load of flints so hopefully it will discourage them.

Its flipping difficult digging a hole that deep - I am sure it was the cats was of having the last laugh.

Yep, same here. Our cat Tasha died a couple of months ago and Ma Subs had to have her buried in our garden. Suffering the same creature problem as you after filling in the hole I laid a concrete garden slab over the top with a large plant pot on top...seems to have worked.

I would love a dog, but our lifestyle does not suit one.

Perhaps when I retire I can give a home to a retired guide dog. then we can go cranky and obstinate together

Dogs are great I take mine to work

Don't like any animals at all. They freak me out.

Most taste rather nice.

Although pretty much like chicken.

Back to parcels.
I had a good result today. Last Monday I ordered 4 Histoire & Collections unoform books from Amazon. I use their Amazon Locker service and one of the 4 books was not in the locker although parcel tracking says it was delivered and collected!

Spoke to Amazon over the phone and they immediatly offered to replace or refund. They sent an email saying it will be delivered next week. So I am very pleased with that service.

maybe tracking next time could help also isnt there a coverage the post office provides?

[Techno]

Yeeeeees......But only if you pay extra.

I always think postage is a bit over the top, price wise.....And if you start adding Recorded or Special delivery 'top-ups', it becomes fairly horrendous.
I always send masters to Leon by Special Delivery.....But he lets me hold on to the figures, and send them up in big batches......Which get insured for oodles of pounds, so we're both 'safe'.

I dread to think how much I'm going to have to insure the next package for.
