Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

I watched The Holiday for the millionth year in a row last night. It's my favourite Christmas snow film.

I've just updated the spreadsheet, a gift has arrived :-) And when I checked the spreadsheet it had been updated to say 3 gifts in total have been sent. First one received :-) They'd put FSS on the package so it's under the tree.

I thought FSS would be my only present as family have decided on a no presents policy, but one of my fitness clients has given me a small gift :-)

Rae, on NL postage it took 17 days for something to get from London to Amsterdam recently (someone ordered some bike-themed face masks from me and queried when they didn't arrive in the expected timeframe).

My FSS parcel arrived last weekend but I've been a bit mad with work this week so I've only just managed to update the spreadsheet.

I have two packages that Royal mail say got to Schipol on 27 November which post NL still claim to know nothing about...

It'll all turn up eventually, I'm sure, I'm not going to worry about it.

I’ve been very lucky with Royal Mail as far as sending things. I’ve sent four parcels this month via 48 tracked and and each one has taken no longer than five days. I believe they are very short staffed with all the COVID issues and this being a particularly busy time of year makes it even more difficult.

I have faith that things will be delivered even though a little later than usual. It must be really stressful working for a delivery company at the moment, but thankfully they are keeping us connected.

Geordie claus and Trinsel, my husband is 21st December, I feel your pain 😁 My son is October and my daughter is November, so it’s all go at the end of the year 😁

After my earlier rant my parcel arrived this afternoon- good job I answered the door as the parcel had Tidal Rum plastered all over it. I wasn’t bothered of it didn’t arrive on time it could swap to a birthday present but there is so many scams where fake tracking numbers are given I was worried I’d inadvertently found a dodgy company despite finding it on FB and then searching for it online.

I said to RM driver I didn’t expect it as it’s not tracking he said I don’t know what is up it says it in flight on my app!!

I also love The Holiday watched it twice so far this December but my wrapping is always fine to Miracle on 34th Street that is Mondays job.

I do love The Holiday, but it does contain an awful lot of casual drunk-driving. And really, Kate Winslet is a junior publishing assistant and she owns a charming country cottage within easy commuting distance of London??
