Temu order for the missus. 7 days, and I think that's a record.

A long time ago, our usual place to buy cat flea treatments shut down due to covid. So I ordered from ebay. They sent the wrong type, so I sent them back and had a full refund.

Then the package came back, "delivery refused".

I held onto them for a while in case the seller had a moan, but eventually tried to sell them, but all sales of such items had been banned by the usual sites.

Then the usual place reopened, and they forwarded an email from the manufacturer to say that a lot of dangerous counterfeits had been detected in the EU and UK.

I sent photos to the manufacturer, and they sent me a package to send them to them for investigation.

Out of the blue, today I received 2 full packs of the correct items free of charge, with a list of reputable sellers. They are worth about £50!!!!

Premium Bonds wins. £150 for the missus, £100 for Pol, but just £50 for me.

Another local Chinese menu, and it's a lot more expensive than our usual one, despite them putting up their prices a while back.

A very rapid Temu delivery. A T-short for the missus, some plastic bags and a couple of LED lamps.

A letter from the council saying that council tenants are now responsible for even more things, including all door and window locks and keys.

Temu package, with a ginormous reversing alarm that is double the dimensions shown online.

An item from ebay was received by Royal Mail Tracked 24 on Thursday morning, due to be delivered before 14:27 today. Still no sign of it.

The ebay items, 2 NATO pullovers, arrived after over 3 days on 24-hour delivery. They are the "new" style that appeared in 2015, but still 50/50 wool and acrylic, but apparently far more durable.
