Bumper Mailbox This Week

without comments

I love getting mail (real mail, that is), few things more fun than walking to the mailbox and pulling out a big wad of envelopes. Though there is the flipside of getting back to the house and finding that it’s all charity pleadings and catalogues. But this week I am expecting:

  • A ‘welcome pack’ from ING who last week took over my NetBank accounts after they went bust. As of last Friday NetBank truly ceased to exist so the money I have there is currently wholly unavailable to me until ING get my account details to me. [Received!]
  • My driving licence from the DMV. It expires this Friday on my birthday and the new one is not here yet. They took my money a couple of months ago and the renewal website says my licence has already been renewed so I assume it is coming this week.
  • Six – count ’em, six – parcels from Amazon.com. It’s only three orders but one has been split into three shipments, another into two. I think they will all arrive same day. I can’t say what is in them in case Teri is reading. [Received 5!]
  • A returned cheque from my local bank that they denied because it was made out to my business rather than me, been waiting for that a month now. I need it so I can a new cheque in my name – and its for $750! [Received a letter but not the cheque grrrr.]
  • Maybe I will get the final cheque from the buy out of my previous employer, supposed to have been settled at the end of November. The amount has been in dispute but it’s either $300 or $1200, either is good.

Hopefully they will arrive as expected.
