OK! now I know why the folks here don't do Christmas Cards !!!
I went to the post office today to post my 54 cards !!!! It is going to cost me R18.00 per card that's £1.50 per card to post to UK/USA etc. ... I don't want to buy shares in the damned place ... and I wouldn't mind so much if the postal service actually worked here !!!
So those of you who moan about the Royal Mail ... be grateful at least IT WORKS !!!! and it doesn't cost you a second mortgage to post your Christmas Cards ...
But don't fear I have made a plan ... I have called upon 1 of Santa's little helpers !!!! I put all the cards in a large padded envelope and posted it via parcel post to My Little Elf Friend and I have asked Paul to get a batch of UK postage stamps to her and then very sweetly asked her (well I will ask her after I've finished writing this post) to pop the cards in the post to you all ... I would have asked Paul but he'll be here by the time the parcel arrives UK. Trust me this way it works out cheaper but even more so for me cos Paul has to buy the UK stamps (PMSL!!!:-)
Not a lot else to report ... it's still raining ... chucked it down last night!!! Our garden is flooded again and the next door neighbour said she'd found a turtle (from the pond on the estate) wading it's way through her garden this morning !!! Even the animals are confused ... (OH by the way we live on the other side of the estate to the pond!!!)
