Afraid I've lots of things going on both business and personal at the moment which is restricting my time, plus we've just got back from a break in sunny Norfolk.

What happened? Nobody is posting!

Well, I've just been given a nice stack of postcards to sell - indeed, two people on the same day were clearing out - so fresh listings for me to do.

I have been given about 200 postcards which I have decided to start selling - Can you educate me on what envelopes etc to use when posting?

We use envelope's that are letter size & use carboard saves the Recyling getting too big, & it's cheaper than stiff back envelopes. it seems to work well, or if its many cards will either use a padded envelope with Cardboard as well.also expensive cards put in a 0lastic as well to make sure it stays dry in case postie gets it wet as it happens here sometimes

As for nobody posting think we have all been feeling down, & we have been trying to do some sorting out, which is taking longer than I thought.

Have also wondered how Sgt is.

Hope everyone is okay

Currently I'm using ordinary envelopes stiffened with cornflakes packets! I put the postcards into cello envelopes of some sort - I reuse ANY that are clean - greetings cards packets etc. I do buy packets as well and boardbacked A5 envelopes for when the others run out (or my husband doesn't eat cornflakes fast enough!)

Thanks for info peeps

[maplegin]

Border, hope the info helped, am afraid more so than ever its reusing envelopes & packaging as much as possible, sometimes its fun seeing that the package has been reused several times with just more address labels, its frightening the price of stationary these days.

Good morning. Raining here in SE Wales. Went across the street to the neighbor's house this morning for a MacMillan Coffee morning. Nice to catch up with them. Philpott and I have enjoyed seeing via our trail camera that we have a very chubby hedgehog visiting us frequently. It likes the mealworms I leave for him/her. But, surprisingly to me, so do the very big slugs.

Crazy world we live in right now. I hope you're all feeling good and keeping as busy as you like. Finding our new-to-us downsized rental castle quite cozy. SO nice not to have to go up on the roof to repair leaks in the rain, or clean out the chicken coop in the cold. I've gotten downright lazy.

Hi Maple, hope you are both keeping well, I really must try and keep popping in, being semi retired I should have more time, but that doesn't seem to be the case!!
