Default My Delivery From Screwfix.

Arrived half an hour ago. Item they forgot to send in the previous delivery.
Here's the box.



Here's what was in the box.



A drill bit and invoice.

Glad they managed to fit it in
Did someone mention rainforests?.....

Shouldn't you be working? Or is another teachers day off?

Have the nurses been over-medicating again Lewis? Little dehydrated again perhaps? Bed sores infected? Scabous infections spreading?
What makes you think I'm a teacher?

Screwfix have said that they've been having difficulty training their new staff.

I've had similar deliveries from Screwfix but packed with loads of those air bags. Very handy for me because I use them to pack my Ebay stuff!

No I didn't. If you read the 2nd sentence of my first post you'll see I've explained why they sent it
