After I post this I'm off to leave someone Bad feedback on eBay.
A Hint: If you are going to tell someone you "will post the parcel tomorrow" and don't get round to it until a week later, make sure you stick stamps on the parcel and not one of those sticky printed lables they make behind the the counter. Because with a sticky printed label one of the things that is printed nice and clearly is the posting date.
With real stamps they have to frank them by hand with a smudgey rubber, inkstained and illegible blob.
Idiots! It's taken 3 weeks to get something I was seriously expecting to get before Christmas.
Spent hours last night crashing the pooter, and tearing my hair out, and eating vast quantities of pointy food (more El Cheepo brand tortilla chips) in a struggle to OCR a handbook for Merriol just to save her the effort of typing all 33 pages of it.
It would have been easier to type all 33 pages of it
- but I know how to do it for next time!
I finally worked out how to do it at about midnight (the thing had to be ready for the morning). I must remember to write it down some where where I can find it again before I forget.
(Expect a really boring Blog entry in the next few days...)
