Lady at the post office passed me quite a large box..big enough for an i-pod....make-up...DS Lite.... The box was surprisingly light but didn't think too much about it. As soon as i got back to the car ripped it open to find................................



A blinkin' packet of M&S salt and vinegar crisps from the national office week giveaway :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Thats madness.... I had a Nintendo DS game turn up in a HUGE box a few weeks ago... I was amazed that someone would pack it in such a large box for such a small item. You could have fitted a microwave in the box they sent...:confused:
