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).

Cheers - Phil

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 

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.

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

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 

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

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 

Tad drastic !

Pink?  What ARE you implying?

The Financial Times is in pink for us financial people.   

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