Oh I do hope the parcels stress all gets resolved!! 🤞
That's great news about the truck - Mr SL must be relieved and pleased as he sounds fond of it
(And like it is just the vehicle you need for bee-land traversing and not easy to replace.)
I do smile at Mr SL's less successful exploits - I'm sure there's loads of stuff he does really well, it's just we never get to hear about them!
🤣
I will be opening my purse (well, joint house account) for just one thing today - cash to pay the furniture cleaner who's coming to exorcise the smell of cat sick from my side of the sofa! Oh and the kitchen island decor panels, if they have finally turned up!

He does do lots of things really well. It's rare but memorable mistakes. I must try harder to appreciate him on here. I really do.

@beanielou our son got a £25 voucher. We were wondering if it was via the big river company as they use RM to deliver their stuff. I don't know the Big River delivery chap to ask him if they (also) get it, but I've started giving feedback after deliveries. It takes a few seconds and it might result in a little bonus. We can but hope.beanielou said:Can you please remind me about what the lovely posties get if you give them good feedback. Thanks.
And my maligning of the Swiss mountain company was an unfounded concern. The gift from USA has just this minute been left in the box by the front door. Happy days!Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £10,020.92 out of £6000 after September
