Then the day arrives when you say to yourself "enough is enough" and you finally give in to the urge for a day of complete sanity. So off you trot to the movies with hubby to see, not just one movie but two, Jersey Boys in the morning, lunch and a little shopping, then Maleficent in the afternoon and on to dinner.
Only to find when you've arrived home in darkness, the bloody things turned up while you were out and you're left with a note in the mailbox saying "pick up from the Post Office after 4 pm"!! How frustrating is that??

Then you check your emails and suddenly a bright light appears on the horizon . . . you've received a SHIPPING NOTICE!! Oh wow, how wonderful that feels, finally my two Fairyland Pukifees (Cony and Dony) have emerged from their cocoons and are flying home to Mumma.
So now, with fingers crossed, I'll begin the impatient wait all over again and with a little luck (I hope and pray Lady Luck is listening) they will be here by Friday.
