to be furious and exasperated at the total and utter waste of time and resources involved in DHLing a 'paint your own piggy bank' to my daughter???

We finally opened one of those child trust fund bank accounts and apparently the building soc we opened the account with us gives us a free 'paint your own piggy bank'. Whatever. I have come home from work for the last 2 days to a DHL delivery note for DD and finally I manage to be in when they deliver for the 3rd time and what is it??? You guessed it. I mean, what an utter waste of energy - the DHL van came to our house THREE times, the piggy bank was packed in a ridiculous amount of packaging. And DD is 14 months old.

Well no, yanbu - unless the offer of a piggy bank was the deal-clincher for you!

I hope it is better then the one I bought last week, whose slot has turned out to be too small for 50p, £1 and £2 coins. Thanks, Yellowmoon.

Nope it wasn't the deal-clincher. What distresses me is that there must be a warehouse full of them all waiting to be DHLed out to unsuspecting customers. Gaaah.
