Thanks, you lot Vannie, you are like that Martin Lewis money bloke only better lol. We got there to be told the fella had sold it and hadn't let us know so we just came home again. Dickhead. There's an estate car on Gumtree so I'll have a cup of tea and give them a ring see if it's still about. It would be nice to get out and about more now; the bus service here is good but it's difficult lugging stuff about on the bus and we can't get everywhere we'd like to go on it. I'll have a look at that van thread later, Vannie, very nice of you to buy your good man a van! Is there a thread about how you've wombled all the parts out of a bin round the back of Halfords? Lol x

Hello morning all! How's it going so far with your day? Today, I've just had a shower and a hair wash. Tonight, just enjoying my usual TV show before hitting the bed.

I've been sitting in my garden, waiting for a parcel. It has tracking so I kept an eye on it, and just looked and it says for 1:20 pm, 'closed, carded'. If that is supposed to imply that they tried to deliver and nobody was here then it is a lie. Nobody stopped on the single track lane and walked past me in my garden, nobody put a card through the letterbox. I was there, it is not possible for them to walk past without either me seeing them or them seeing me. And there is no card. Well there wouldn't be as there was no delivery van.

They are gits. That went on for a week when I was waiting for a set of cd mixing decks in Burgundy and they kept saying by email that there was no one home !! Funny as I was parked right in front of the house and there was no sign of the delivery van at all all week. In the end I had to drive 40-50 miles each way to go to their depot at Dijon to pick it up. Still had to pay the delivery costs though !! The business does appear to be improving but I guess you are only as good as your staff !!
I hope that your weed parcel turns up tomorrow hun xx

So do I, and in the meantime you have reminded me that I have a little something to take the edge from my disappointment. 🤩

DPD or Yodel by any chance? Shower of shit the pair of them, every delivery I get goes missing...😒 Hope your parcel turns up...

I think a lot of delivery drivers work load is unrealistic , and they ditch the awkward/time consuming ones .TBH, any delivery driver that does us sucsessfully is a bloody hero! Satnav on our post code is a nightmare!

I hope it does turn up at some point, Parrot, it's such a pain when they say they've left something and they haven't. We had a slightly different problem in that a parcel for us was left at the house next door by mistake - and despite it had my name and address on the front our neighbour had them recollect it instead of just dropping it in to ours (and I should add our houses are tiny and my front door is only about two feet away from his so it's not like he'd have had to trek miles across open fields to drop it in!). I hope it all gets sorted out x

Hippies, can I ask your opinion on a car? There's a Ford CMax on Gumtree, £480, 6 months MOT, the ad says the battery warning light is on and has been since the guy had it. I looked it up online and it said it would be a charging problem but that's as far as my knowledge extends, is it likely to be a hideously expensive problem to sort out? I don't mind getting a few bits and pieces done, just don't want to be crying over my credit card at a horrible repair bill Thank you muchly

Charging system could be the alternator. Generally not hugely expensive, but it depends where the alternator is. Is the car front wheel drive? If it is, everything is stuffed under the bonnet and you might have to take off other parts to get to it. This means if you are paying somebody to do it, it will cost more. Time is money givingitsomethought

I buy food every two or three weeks from Hodmedod's Wholefood and it is delivered by DPD. Brilliant service. The app is one of the best delivery apps I've used and tells me where Martin the Driver is and how soon I can expect him. He is always well within the hour-long window and, in the morning, he sometimes arrives earlier than that. However, he usually has to wait to take the photograph of the delivery or leave for his next drop because he gets bollocked for arriving too early just as he would for being late!
