Inside is a mini drone thing - a flying machine. I suspect it is what had been bought with the details from my card. So I am asking myself why would a 70-year-old want such a toy?

Ah well, I'll keep it for a while and if nobody claims it the local charity shop will get a present.

Apparently it was ordered through something called Temu.


Just seen how much they sell for :o

Sell it Jo, if you still have it. You can always donate the money, if you like :idea:

Kaz, it's not Jo's it's mine. :D :D :D

If nobody claims it within weeks it will go to my favourite charity shop. It does similar work to our old dearly departed Scarlett (Sarah), with children in Thailand.

Ah, nice idea! I still think of her sometimes, Frank, it must be 15 years now!

That's what I get for not reading properly :roll:
