So I woke up this morning...well about an hour ago (13:30 ^_^) and thought, okay so let's write out the postcards for postcrossing. I couldn't find them anywhere in my room, so I ventured downstairs. Not in the kitchen, not in the living room...
Then I saw a little chewed up packet on the floor. The dogs had grabbed it off the side and had a little nosy at them. There's just one that's slightly bent, the others have survived. But still, I was a little bit annoyed. I'm probably the only one in the family who doesn't 'adore' these dogs; I tolerate them. Even if they are cute :3 That beige-ish coloured one up there is Kane, though I like to call him Kanye because it's cooler. Then the black and sandy coloured one is Sadie. She's the one who likes to bite a lot. We rescued her from a family that were abusing her so she's really timid and defensive.
Anyways. STAMPS. So confusing. I understand that letters cost a certain amount to send depending on the weight and where they're going to, and I understand that the post office put that amount on the envelope in stamps...but STILL. What if I wanted to not go to the post office one day, could I just throw on a few first class stamps if I knew it would be enough, write the airmail thing and throw them in a postbox? Because 1st and 2nd class stamps don't have the amount written on them, but does that matter? Meh. Post office it is!
Hope everyone is okay :)

Have a look on the royal mail website, it helped me to no end. There are certain brackets for different mail weights and I used to just go and ask for 10 of each.. 60p (EU posties) 67p (rest of world posties I think) 97p (up to 20g for rest of world) and £1.40 (up to 40g? for rest of the world) stamps. I forget what EU letters cost, most of my penpals are from farther flung countries. A kitchen scale was a joy to have, but double check the price brakcets won't you :)
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for your comment and joining my swap :)
ReplyDeleteI always have to go to the postoffice because stamps are always different with my letters. I find it the easiest way or then I freak out thinking my letters won't make it.
I think the snail mail idea behind this blog is lovely, I still insist on sending loads of postcards, even when I go on holiday to somewhere like Cornwall in the same country!
ReplyDeleteMy friend had the same dog problem, she text me saying "I got your postcard today, the dogs got there first but it's still readable" hahah.
Good luck! (:
