Caught out

Got another dose of loss of singledom when i received a phone call from the wife {im working away from home}informing me of a mail package awaiting me at home .Had to undergo some severe interrogation as to the contents of the box and whether it contained something of a astronomical nature claiming ignorance and maintaining a cool hand I'm nonetheless frustrated out getting nabbed and not being able to use "the package"

Come on Beren! What's in the box mate??

Surely it can't be anything to do with astronomy!?

I get my stuff sent to my mates work address. he is as bad as me but his wife is a little more forgiving. I think that is the safest and best method.
