Parcelforce. We cant track it because it hasnt been handed over into our network.
USPS. It departed Heathrow onto its final destination, we have no further tracking details.
It will be with customs, it can take quite a while for things to clear at times.

Hopefully as I would rather not lose $450.00 notes.

Thanks. :)

Stood on the cat's paw twice already today. How can anyone be so stupid to walk close to somebody with feet half your size?

Yeah, it seems a strange way of doing it but I've seen it quite often before. USPS have done their bit and delivered it to Heathrow, it's now with customs, Parcelforce will start tracking it when it's released from customs.

Day one of my new healthy lifestyle. ASDA slashes the price of their pizzas and McDonald's opens for takeaways. :x

...waste not, want not :lol:

If they look OK (ie they've not gone green or summat), and pass the little finger taste test, it wouldn''t really matter if they're 4 years or 14 years out of date, I'd still eat them :lol:

They didn't taste the best but like you say waste not want not!

It prompted me to do a clear-out of that particular cupboard and I found another tin that was over a year out of date! So could have been worse :D

I once asked a baker how long a cake would keep for, and he replied, "how long does sugar keep for?" :)

If my bulging stomach is to go for, potentially millenia.
It would help if I didn't think that wine was a replacement for water and the odd bit of exercise would actually do me some good
Saying that I did achieve 5000 steps today.
