Cerberus1 3,880 Posted April 28, 2017 Received a parcel earlier this week. Picked it up off the top of the post box and threw in on the back seat of the car. Next day, I've 3 parcels to lodge at the post office, so I ask @spongebob to take them into the post office. Later that day, I'm looking round the house for the parcel, can't find it, @The Pom Queen suggests it's probably still in car. Look in car, not there... dawning realization that dearest son has lodged the parcel I've already received back at the post office along with the 3 parcels I was sending out not only that, when quizzed, he said he lodged 5 items at the post office... nobody has any idea what the 5th item was he posted out. Fortunately, today, I receive the parcel again which I'd already received on Wednesday...No harm done apart from postie probably experiencing Déjà vu and the strange case of the mystery '5th item' 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
