My neighbour's son (where I used to live) worked for a courier company (who will remain nameless). He would often see courier drivers kicking boxes, that were labelled as fragile, between them like they were having a game of football. I never label anything now as they are handled with more care when they're not labelled at all.

Yes I was told this years ago about royal mail too, better off not labelling fragile parcels. I suppose this is what happens when staff are treated like crap and overworked not that that's really an excuse but I should imagine it, along with all the thefts, would vastly decrease if staff felt respected and appreciated at work. A couple of Christmases ago I ordered a guitar for hubby which "arrived" by Hermes/Evri. It was "lost" and when I spoke to the shop they were absolutely livid as it was the 5th guitar that week they had "lost" and obviously it's not exactly a small package so clearly there was a plan to try and get high value items

Oh I feel you, I've caught the kids cold. A day of a bad sore throat and pounding head, a day of sore throat and almost losing my voice, a day of full body aches and random sweats, and today my nose has decided to go like a tap and I can't stop sneezing (which is worrying when I've had two kids and have diastasis I'm still trying to resolve 😂). Bloody kids handled this much better than me

Thanks! Felt like I wasted my weekend and got nothing done but sleep! I've woken up feeling slightly better than last night so hopefully a step in the right direction. Full week at work though, which is where this cold came from anyway so all fun!

Feel like I've been poorly all of this month.

But you know what... Rest and recovery is the most important thing you could have done this weekend. Definitely not a wasted weekend
 
Well I re-activated my Haybox subscription last week since my piggies didn't like the hay that I got for them. So order went thru on Friday last week. It's now Tuesday and my order hasn't been despatched yet! I emailed them yesterday and they replied that it will be sent today, they are just waiting for more stocks of meadow hay to arrive. Well nothing, it still hasn't been sent. I'm worried that the meadow hay I have here won't last to next Monday. It's just a good thing that I mix the meadow hay with Oxbow's orchard and timothy hay. I can probably stretch it. I phoned them at 4:30 pm and didn't realise they are only open from 9am-4pm M-F. It's so annoying! :hb: :td: I just reviewed them in Trustpilot and I was surprised they are getting loads of 1 star reviews there recently from long time customers. What a shame for them!

It's meadow hay that I order in subscription. My piggies prefer the Oxbow for timothy and orchard so that's what we usually buy. If my order won't arrive by Friday, I might have to go to Farm & Pet place to buy meadow hay. 👎🏻

UPDATE:

So on Wednesday morning, I phone Haybox to ask why they haven't dispatched my order yet. She told me there must've been an issue at the warehouse and staff there might have missed it. So she sent me a replacement order and I got tracking details that morning. Come this morning and both DPD tracking details I have are for delivery this afternoon! So at around 4pm today, I received 2x of my order! 😁 I had to scramble and think where I can store all of the bags! I have 35kgs of hay now and would last for probably 5-6 months.
 
Grumble. Neighbour's just knocked on my door to say don't be putting food out because three dead rats were found across her garden and one next to it.

Rats are bad enough but then there's at least 4 different cats that roam around this particular area and if they're dead, part of me wonders if the cats are responsible.

But also, rats two gardens away.

:yikes::yikes: Get the rat poison out quick.

The neighbour's got someone coming out but I'm loathe to put anything straight out, there's too much other non-rat wildlife around for that.

You’re right Lorcan - it has to be done by a specialist so other wildlife aren’t caught in the fallout - especially as it’s bird breeding and all wildlife breeding season atm
I think the cats are doing a great job - previously I had two cats who were great ‘ratters’
 
Yeah, I don't like it but there's small birds, corvids, pigeons, squirrels, and I've heard owls before. And those are just the ones I know of, plus cats and dogs. Last thing I want is to inadvertently harm something else, even if it's rats. In the house I'd be saying different, but not the garden.
 
Argh.

Nicotine, in itself, isn't dangerous, at least not more so than caffeine. It can be overdosed on (which is unpleasant) and it absorbs easily through the skin so, y'know, try not to spill it on yourself, but those are just common sense things.

Then you get idiots vaping 50mg at 80w. I could explain why this is so ridiculously moronic but it's a very long answer so take my advice on this, there's nobody quitting smoking that way. All they're doing is making a nicotine addiction worse.
