The Pendraken gets through

[Techno]

The sods !

Had a strange postal issue with a watch I ordered for Von a week or so ago. Got notification that it had been dispatched...Goody, thought I.....Should be here early this week.

Wrong !.....Wonder where it's got to....Did some checking...."Should be delivered between the 12th and 22nd of May."........."Eh ?".....Did some checking....Pants !... didn't notice that it's actually being sent from abroad. (Netherlands, apparently).

Phil - my mail orders seem to be taking 5-10 real days at the moment. All UK though.

Yeah - it's very random at the moment!

Counting the seconds for a new washing machine lock, hoping it arrives - and fixes the issue - before the laundry pile becomes critical 

Meanwhile, some Perspex rod samples I ordered over the weekend are already here!

Pendraken order dispatched Monday, getting an extra 5000 steps a day in walking to the front window to check for the postie 

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

OK - this I don't believe -

Tuesday got a box of PSC 15mm carriers, 1 sprue missing - 8 instead of 9 vehicles. That took 10 days..no probs.

Ok so emailed them on Tuesday. Rang yesterday, missing sprue arrived today ! Service or what.

Great excitement today as a packaged arrived.   
Alas, it proved to be for my wife. 
I shall be joining those on sentry duty at the front. 

Service or what.

My experience of PSC is less positive so I shall say no more on the subject.

Yeah - it’s very random at the moment!

We seem to be only getting one or two deliveries a week from the Postie

If your feeling brave you could suggest the other half does some hand washing, after all Laundry is a "Pink" job  Well it is in our house - I am not allowed to do it.

Some dice that I'd ordered arrived, but still no sign of the washing machine lock! 

Postie goes past most days, very random times though

Hmm, not sure I should dignify that with a response 

One of the local petrol stations has a mini-laundrette so I had a relaxing hour and a half yesterday afternoon sat in my car listening to podcasts and reading whilst I put a couple of loads through 

The hour prior and hour after sorting the blooming stuff less so 

Still waiting on Pendraken... 

More steps for me 

[O Dinas Powys]

Pendraken package is here 

No washing machine bit though 

Wonder if I can set up a prep table shelf in the car for when I take the next load of washing down to the laundrette

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

That's what the parcel shelf is for...

[O Dinas Powys]

That's what the parcel shelf is for...

Bit cramped in a Clio though 

However, if I take the middle row of seats out of the Sedona, put the back row down and pop a piece over board over them 

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Tad drastic !

[O Dinas Powys]

Pink?  What ARE you implying?

The Financial Times is in pink for us financial people.   

[Ithoriel]

I assumed a "pink" job meant that when Orcs did the washing all the whites came out pink!

Pink jobs are the ones the ones that traditionally the lady of the house does.  Blue Jobs the Man.  So for clarification.

PS. The only time the whites came out Pink or Blue (we have had both) I was not even in the house.  So when I arrived home I kept my lips completely sealed,  Otherwise I would not be here now.  

[O Dinas Powys]

I just got what you meant!

Obviously I know how the seats in my car are removable, other members of the forum less so

Ha!  Ice Age Warrior.  We are an Equal Opportunities Household; do 'em all.

So are we , I giver Mrs Orcs the opportunity to do the "Pink" jobs and she gives me the opportunity to do the "Blue" jobs.  An equal sharing of the load

Secondly I value my life so do not touch the laundry or Ironing.

I used to help with the ironing, until one day I could not iron the creases out of one of her tops.  I turned up the temperature and liberally used the steam and squirt functions. After some 10 minutes I had got rid of all the creases.   Mrs orcs then came into the room and I commented how hard the particular top had been only to be told "Its meant to have the creases in it".  No more ironing for me.
