Nuisance neighbours ... but only at weekends/night.
Our neighbours generally seem decent enough people. Through the day that is. We're fairly private people and we don't go knocking on everyone's door on the street for the latest gossip but at the same time we'll say hi to others if we're passing on the street. The old dear to one side is lovely & we've had a few chats from…

It arrived a couple of weeks later and proved to be very cheap quality so I decided to return it the same day.

Well done Yodel
After the many bad reviews on here for Yodel I am pleased to say that goods ordered on Monday evening arrived safe and sound early this afternoon. Along with Hermes Yodel seems to get bad press but perhaps I am just lucky as both companies to date have never had a problem and long may it continue:)

A relative bought my son a Nerf gun for his birthday, but unfortunately it was faulty and didn't reload properly. Rather than having to contact the person who sent him the present, I thought I would first try and contact the manufacturer Hasbro. They replied quickly, asking for further details, serial number, a photo…
