Why does the postman always bring a parcel when you are out or in the shower

ive just phoned 16 plumbers to refit my bathroom (my partner slipped in the bath & his elbow went right through it) & no-one can do it for 3 months

My postman will leave it on my doorstep . . . unless I have to sign for it.

Didja have to sign for it?

they just dont leave parcels here cher, that way there is no come back if you say its missing, i only popped out to the shed round back for 5 mins :-5

ARGHHHHH!!

Oh I know what you mean Buttercup, the postman here can be sooooo unforgiving. Sometimes our postman, (am I really am not joking here,) will either ring the door and actually open the door himself and place the parcel in our porch, or ring the bell, wait literally 2 seconds then just decide that we aren't in, and leave. Very frustrating!! :-5

Why do i live with a builder but he wont build at home . :rolleyes:

the postman, ups and fedex open my front door and leave it on my front table. we are a friendly sort in the south.

Ah that's really nice!! I can understand now why you postman does that but we have never even met ours and yet he feels the right to come into our porch, (even if it is to drop off some post or a parcel!)

todays moan - my fav jeans are too tight & ive got a big red welt across my tummy, why am i wearing them, why do i torture myself, why am i moaning about it, i could just take them off, but then i'd have to wear my fat clothes

E - bay charges are ridiculous & not only that you get a pittance for your much loved things

when pupster was here i used to heat a knife & hold it against the tick & then it always came out as a whole, is there a better way of doing it?

i never heard of that before. i always dig them out with tweezers. and gag the whole time.



i will try it your way.

well i heard that if you just yank them out then sometimes the head stays attatched whereas it seems not too if you fry the ****ers first :wah:

After the last few weeks I've decided I'm the original grumpy old woman. And you know? I don't care!

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...I identify with just a few too many of those...whoops! And yes, I wore mini skirts when they were first invented, I love my cup of tea and I hate litter.

There is no hope for me so I'll just go with it...
