I still get excited when the post arrives. God knows what I think will come through the door but I'm ever hopeful of some excitement.

Our post today was a subscription reminder for Which. Confused

Anyone anything better?

Bank holiday for us, no post

Hoglet70 · 06/05/2024 13:21

Do we get post on a BH? I haven't had anything today.

moonlitmaze · 06/05/2024 13:21

No post today as it's a bank holiday.

ILikePistachios · 06/05/2024 13:21

Absolutely nothing because it's a bank holiday

Ofcourseshecan · 06/05/2024 13:23

Not today but recently, a parcel of secondhand books I’d ordered. Hours of binge-reading pleasure!

x2boys · 06/05/2024 13:25

No post on a bank.holiday

OnehundredStars · 06/05/2024 13:26

No Post today but recent parcels have included a toilet flush handle (old one was rusted) and this was 9 quid and Victorian style and looks great !

plus the batch lady cookbook arrives tomorrow 👏👏👏

Bank Holiday, no post today but some bits I'd ordered for a craft project came on Saturday.

My best friend from school and I regularly exchange short letters and postcards. Recently she sent me a book she thought I'd like. We have other ways of being in touch, of course, but in our mid 60s still recognise the pleasure of a handwritten message.

Arlanymor · 06/05/2024 14:20

Bank Holiday here, so no post. But tomorrow I am getting an Andy Warhol cat bag, glitter body paint, a picnic set and some solar-powered lights. Random selection but will feel like Christmas has come early!

AlisonDonut · 06/05/2024 14:22

I got a t shirt.

My OH got a new phone as his smashed and he is now muttering about WhatsApp updating and all that nonsense.

No post but Amazon bought another huge box of tat. DH’s 60th in the week. He doesn’t want a fuss so I’ve ordered banners to go down the front of the house, balloons etc etc. Am having a day off to do up the house. He will be pkeased, honestly!

NeedthatFridayfeeling · 06/05/2024 14:26

Amazon are bringing me a sunhat. No post as it's a bank holiday. Hoping tomorrow's post brings my new base coat and nail wraps Grin

sophi1995 · 06/05/2024 14:28

No post due to bank holiday but I have a lot of stuff coming tomorrow. Just moved to a new house so I have furniture deliveries from Wayfair and IKEA and have a few bits coming from Amazon too.

MinervaMcGonagallsCat · 06/05/2024 14:33

Bank holiday so nothing

Icannoteven · 06/05/2024 14:34

2 kids skipping ropes, a ten pack of moth traps, a drip coffee set and a reminder letter from specsavers. We didn’t get any of our neighbours post today, which is unusual. I’m starting to think the postie needs his eyes checked.

What on earth is is the message on the t shirt about?

Nellieinthebarn · 06/05/2024 14:40

No post, bank holiday here too, but my new orange bum bag is due to be delivered soon. I got it in preparation of summer dog walks, so no coat pockets to put treats and poo bags in. And I decided on orange so I can find it easily, it works really well with my lipstick red handbag.

HopeOneOfThosePeopleIsAMonkeyBecauseThisIsBanana · 06/05/2024 14:41

Amazon brought me protein powder, spirulina, gardening gloves, woodlice killer (our house seems to have an infestation!) and a bag of minstrels.

What on earth is is the message on the t shirt about?
I’m glad someone else is as clueless as me!

IncognitoUsername · 06/05/2024 14:45

Someone please explain the gerbil t shirt!

BobbyBiscuits · 06/05/2024 14:52

None as bank holiday. Last post we got was a birthday card for my mum, and a massive bill, also for my mum. I never get anything now. Used to get loads of junk mail but that seems to have dropped off. Got a shower cleaning squeegee the other day. Gripping stuff! Lol

LadyMacbethWasMisunderstood · 06/05/2024 14:54

No post here today but we had a delivery of rabbit bedding and a some “catering” style glass tumblers as ours break if we even look at them.

BuddingPeonies · 06/05/2024 16:23

Not from the postman, but the coastguard shoved a postcard through the letter box to say thank you for the bag of clothes we'd left out for their charity collection.

ItsAllJustALittleBitOfHistoryRepeating · 06/05/2024 16:30

For those asking about the t shirt. I googled the phrase and this Twitter account came up.

I think it's some type of feminist merch but I didn't dig much further.

No post but from Amazon I got

  • massive box of bird food coconut halves
  • Alexa diddy, or whatever it's called, so I don't have to leave my phone on all night to listen to audiobooks
  • cheerleading Pom Pom's for DS who is autistic and likes to fiddle with them

Sorry for that rogue apostrophe, autocorrect
