Oh, the disappointment!

Popped out yesterday for about 10 minutes and when I returned home there was a card from the Post Office telling me they were unable to deliver a package. I couldn't contain myself and went to collect it. When I got there the package was not in the office. I was told it would probably be in the van and to phone later to see if it was there. I phoned and I was told it was there. I couldn't help myself and asked what size the package was and was told it was about the size of a catalogue. I sped down to collect my 'X-Box/Wii/Laptop/other fab prize' and could not believe what it was.............. a bl**dy catalogue!!!!!!! That'll teach me:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    That happened to me too - I'd even arranged to ring the husband from the collection office as there's no way that I could carry the 50 inch TV - it was a porridge scoop :eek: Your turn will come :D
