    Aw guys, sorry no picnic :(

    The Italian company passed my details onto the person expecting the parcel and he and his wife came and collected it this afternoon. he was really nice, he even bought his wife as he said he thought I might have been nervous allowing a stranger into my house to get the parcel while I was on my own. Darn sight more caring than the Italian company!

    He told me it was a box of 15 finest wines..no wonder I couldn't lift it!

    I do have my dinner service though,it arrived today but not with Hone delivery service. A nice man in a yellow van came and bought the parcel into the house as he said it would be too heavy for me..what a difference in courier styles.

    Thank you all for your help, it was appreciated. :beer:
