    Morning all

    Have spent the last hour watching CBeebies with CovToddler to give Mrs Covbob a chance to catch up on sleep.

      And as it's not been mentioned on TPD (and I might go quiet for a bit in a few months) - CovBaby II is scheduled to arrive on 8th April - about a month after the end of current contract.

        Congrats. Be prepared for a shock though 2 are supposedly more than twice the work of one.

        Having twins I will wait for someone else to confirm whether the above is true or not

          Morning all.

          Todays excursion on the bike was brought to an early conclusion by a broken chain. Got it fixed but decided not to trust it for another 80 miles or so and headed home instead. It's done a couple of thousand miles now so not entirely surprising that it gave up on me, but still annoying to be stuck at the side of the road in the cold and damp trying to fix it.

              DPD is due anytime between 12:02pm and 1:02pm - not sure how they can be so vague as to specify an hour, yet so precise as to specify that the hour begins and ends at two minutes past the hour

                  I suspect it's one of those Hedology things, to make you more tolerant of minor delays etc. You are more likely to get upset if it's late when its due on the hour than being last when due a few minutes after. Or summat.

                    Yes, probably something like that

                    The other thing I don't understand is why the link in the email gives me a tracking page that includes a map showing where the driver is, whereas the same page accessed directly via the relevant form on the website doesn't show the map, despite the URLs being the same
