Morning spakkaman
Be glad that your broadband kit got sent by Royal Mail. Mine was sent using some tin-pot courier, who left a card to say that it was ready for me to collect from their depot.

I live in Warwick. Their depot was in Rushden. 60 miles away. Needless to say, I had a few words with them and managed to get it sorted in a way that didn't involve me spending £20 in fuel to get it.

I still can't decide whether breakfast makes me feel better or worse

I'm like you Kaol, no matter what time I get up, how much sleep I've had or what time I've been to bed, I always feel like I'm going to die for the first three hours of being awake. Just takes me a while to get started in the mornings I think!

Bring you Mum to the bash and, more importantly, her cake. Then take a day off work and use trains or somesuch.

Well, if it's anything like last year it won't be finishing until about 3am, therefore you could go to your mums first then come down later!
