Goddam it, I was on target for this. Then my 18yo interstate son rang and asked me to send him his box of bits that he left behind - transferred some money, all I had to do was drop it off at the courier depot.
Catch is, it's a rather large box of bits (computer, guitar, bike etc.) and I couldn't fit it in my little convertible, you know, the one with the almost full tank. I had to put it in the family car which, of course, was empty. :( Resulting in a trip through the station on the way to the courier depot.
