Mums Finance

Oh I am so darn annoyed today. Two weeks before last Xmas I posted off to my son and his fiancee in Germany a small parcel with some gifts for Xmas for them – some DVD’s, books and some sweets, just what they asked for. The day before this I had posted him a pullover and it turned out that it arrived within four days. Not so my second parcel…

When it had not arrived by Xmas day I was worried – when it had not arrived by his birthday on January 2nd I was suspicious – when it had not arrived a week ago I was convinced it was another case of stolen mail. I have had this happen before. Then yesterday that parcel turned up at my door with a dozen different postage marks and stickers on it. The problem was I had addressed it only to ‘Patrick’ and not Patrick + surname. This I understand is very important in Germany and I have learned my lesson – parcel Mark II is now on it’s way!
