    I'm also going to have a moan at myself.
    I've just gone from hosting Christmas for 6 to hosting for 12.

        At breakfast my granddaughter asked me who the good guys are in the Palestine/Hamas situation. It was a very difficult conversation and it makes me moan. I never ever thought I'd be put in the position to explain my perception of these violent protests happening right now. :sad:

            Not a problem about delivering it's just that they don't deliver to the right house, funny thing is we don't have any problems with pardels deliver's to us :yahoo:

              A follow up email from Evri yesterday with a picture attached supposedly of the delivery they made to our doorstep. It's the first time my doorstep has looked like the inside of a van - very strange. :biggrin:

                OH NO! Hermes, so bad they renamed it. Yodel is bad too. I have a couple of pressure cooker seals coming via them soon. Well, maybe I have...

                  We've not had any problems with Hermes/Evri but Yodel are a nightmare. Luckily they don't deliver around here very often and the couple of parcels they've delivered to me in the past took around six weeks from despatch.

                    I found a delivery box under a lamp post at night with an address on it that is 400yds up the road. The driver had taken a photo, with the lamp post in it, and said it was delivered! :doh:

                      Clearly your delivery person reads too many Narnia books.

                      Better check your wardrobe. ;)

                        I'm OK as I don't have a wardrobe - not enough clothes for one. :whistle:

                            I had to keep granddaughter home from school as she was being pressured into joining protests over the Israel/Hamas war. A lot of these protests have turned violent and I don't want her in harm's way. :sad:
