@parcelforce Hi. I don’t know the tracking number. I’m expecting several parcels at the moment, I don’t know which one this is, and I don’t have tracking numbers for any of them.
Hey, @parcelforce, I was at home when this card was put through my door, and the person in 4K hasn’t had any parcels today. Is there any way of tracking down where it was really delivered? Thanks. pic.twitter.com/W35Riyg6KD

@Kavey I couldn’t find a way of doing a second-chance offer after I’d cancelled the winner. I’ll have to dig through the help. I’ve done a re-list on a shorter auction to get them out of the way!
@Kavey …maybe I need to set it not to accept bids from people with nephews!
@Kavey Neither of them was!
@_pigeons_ @Bingo_Little *Rustles angrily*
@_pigeons_ @Bingo_Little Was it because of the cult TV angle, or do I just remind you of Mrs Slocombe wrapped in Bacofoil?

Oh, DPD, still promising to-the-minute one-hour delivery windows. I wonder which week my parcel will actually arrive?
I’m starting to wish that websites respected my desire to fucking read them without clicking legal shit more than they respected my privacy. Is that the plan, maybe?

You’re heavily armed.

@MakingBlakes7 I think you’ll find that that alleged book was never actually written. It was just a rumour. Nobody read it. I definitely didn’t. No.
@Kavey Thanks Kaveypie :D It was definitely worth it, but I’d glad it’s (mostly) over right now!
@saltwateritch I find stuff like that surprisingly motivational, even if I don’t necessarily agree with the advice, oddly.
@saltwateritch Thanks! I think I mostly took these photos to convince myself that six weeks of agonising over colours, painting, designing, reading, watching House Doctor-type programmes, shopping and hefting furniture about was worth it 😀
