It's a very satisfying experience getting things in the post, you know theyre coming, you know what they are cos you ordered it, but it still feels like Christmas.

This week I have been overjoyed at:
Big television
A 5mm combo spanner
Billet steering arms for an RC race car
Adjuster rod for power steering pump for s 944

What will Santa/Postman bring next week smile

Anyone else have a mini Christmas?

I'm expecting one soon after a little bit of a spree on eBay/Amazon!

ETA: The good things will be some clothes, presents for other people (which I still love buying) and books, because I'm out of ones to read!

Hopefully, if the bribe I sent in to get your post redirected to me works.

Two cheques.

One is the return of a fine that my wife paid in error to baillifs who called. Princely sum of forty pounds for a speeding ticket, where as usual the police and courts have totally messed up the paperwork. (Fairly normal set of events in NZ).

The other was a hundred pound VAT refund, and as it was a refund it wipes out the hundred pound penalty for not filing it in time!

On Wednesday, I had a new hot-air soldering iron arrive (yay) and also a letter from the tax office saying that they were going to take just over a grand out of my account (boo).

Which, when I got my bank statement on Saturday, I realised I'd mis-read and they actually put just over a grand into my account (yay).

Raffle, didn't remember entering.

You know how it is, you hand your couple of quid / fiver over, fill in the stubs for form's sake and wander away considering it a donation to whatever cause. Just have to arrange to be in UK that weekend now. Probably will work out an expensive prize all things considered but stuff it, now have a good excuse.

I recieved my PH stickers for the new alfa, getting charged three lots of postage when they arrived in the same envelope stung a bit though.
