I love a happy ending...

I know it's of no great importance but I thought I'd share this nice bit of trivial news:

Last Monday night; I had an item listed for bidding only. Somebody messaged to ask if I could pop a 'buy it now' button on the item because they wanted it for Christmas Day, so I did (and I said to myself 'fat chance'). She promptly paid within a minute or two. WOW.

Last Tuesday morning; I went to the post office as early as I could. Whilst in my car, I KISSED the parcel and said a little prayer - 'please get to her on time for Christmas Day'. Yes, I'm a tad strange like that. Oh and by the way, it was $6.60 standard postage. Yep, I took a huge chance.

Today (Christmas Eve); I just got a message from her saying that she got it in time for Christmas. WOOT - WOOT!

She gave me excellent feed back. 🙂

I would have sent it using Click and Send. $6.20 plus satchel cost plus Paypal acceptable tracking equals less cost and less need to rely on divine intervention.

Yes, I think the good out number the bad, we just tend to remember the bad a little more.

So many good stories everyday we don't hear about.

Merry christmas. 🙂

Yes PJ, the elves have been very busy. I saw a perfect card for a very dear friend....only problem was it was in the UK.

I took a chance and ordered and paid for it on the 13th and the seller emailed to ask if I would rather cancel as it was unlikely to arrive in time for Christmas.

I reassured her that I would not hold her responsible if it did not arrive in time.

Santa and all the elves must have been smiling on the package because it arrived yesterday.:-x

Oh that's a nice feel good story.

I had a christmas parcel to go to Mackay from Sydney and some small parcels to go to Germany. In my usual style I sent a bit late. Invoked divine intervention as well as timely postage and express registered mail.

It worked.

Merry Christmas all
