I am at home alone as I often am and have just realized that I actively try to avoid going to the lavatory when I am alone, in case a courier should knock on the door and I can't get to him in time. |

The first question should be Sharron are you actually expecting a delivery? If yes then of course they'll only knock when you finally give in and rush to the loo. If not then yes you're neurotic :-D |

You're not the only one Sharron - I always look out the bedroom window to check there's no Royal Mail or courier vans in the carpark (to my block of flats) before I head looward - accompanied by two cats who like to supervise procedures, so I guess technically I'm not home alone... |

I used to keep the dirt box beside the pan so mine would come in and join me. |

I find it's am infallible way of getting the expected but late messenger, courier, whatever to arrive! Seriously - as I am too deaf to hear the doorbell I always hang on the door when OH is out a "Please keep knocking" notice. Luckily our door is out of sight of the street, so I also have a notice saying "courier please leave packages on step"when expecting something - (don't say "step" if ordering on line, they don't like it, I say "porch") |

Take heart in the fact that Betty (cat) won't go out to 'toilet' in the rain, unless I'm by the door :-| |

Another option is to use a mailbox. For private use £2 per item is better than hanging around, courier dumping stuff, visiting depot miles away etc. EBay and others also offer click n collect from Argos and JS. |

Thank you for the advice, I do appreciate your care but I was not really being very serious. |

Now you see in one way or another you've mentioned the loo a few times and yet this thread isn't RR !! |

When my Dad has to go, he has to go now! So I rarely go because when I do I usually get kicked out. I can spend time in there at around midnight. :-S |
