You just spoiled my New Year......

Just think of all the fun you'll have unwrapping these mystery presents John :)

Of course we're going to want pictures of you with them all as well as their contents

If you don't know who they're from, don't open them in front of others is my advice. I once fell for that with what felt like (and turned out to be) a book of 'coffee table book' dimensions. It was the contents of the book that were a little... unusual. I won't elaborate as I'm sure some of you would prefer to retain what innocence you have left; suffice to say that I thought my mum was going to either swoon or spontaneously combust after saying, 'Ooh, that looks nice' and opening a page at random.

Ohhh... that's naughty. :(

It's one thing to send you these things but to make you pay is a bit off :nono:

How far are you from the depot?

Ouch! :( Your typical envelope with a total thickness in excess of 5mm and / or >100g needs to go over the counter (iirc a 'large letter' is £0.69 for 2nd Class and £0.90 1st Class) at the PO. So it looks like someone's paid for a standard letter at first class and you've paid £0.09 for the postage (they tend to charge the difference based on the relevant 2nd Class stamp) plus £1.00 'admin charge' for the privilege of being told the fee wasn't enough :( .


Tell you what, I'll send you something nice to make up for it ;) :D .



(And it won't be a pink spork either! :rofl: )
