Why Do People From Other Countries Say...

Good morning ! Sun is out bright & early, and shining away - looks wonderful in garden but I bet it's a tad nippy lol! Will definitely be getting some washing on the line, even ifI have to create some lol. (Only joking, there is always washing to be done!). Still getting over the shock of postage prices yesterday - I decided not to post actual regular sized Easter eggs to grandchildren etc due to the presumed cost of the size of such things, and also the fact they'd probably get broken. So I did 4 x AA sized white padded jiffy bags(one for each house), and in each one I put an Easter card, and a selection of small chocolates such as Malterer mini individual bunny, some Cadburys mini eggs etc etc..... each bag was no thicker than an inch and a half. Got to P.O to get them posted - £4.99 EACH!! That's £20 to post 4 Jiffy bags! Even the guy behind counter apologised lol. Would have been cheaper to drive to Norfolk and deliver them by hand!
After that shock today will involve trying to catch up on a few work things and then decide whether to do anything special for Easter Sunday dinner wise, seeing as it's just us 2.
Whats everyone else's plans today? X

I know what you mean about the cost of postage stamps, i just sent off my Easter cards and the price was steep. This morning i am going to a financial appointment and will do some laundry in the afternoon in readiness for back to work tomorrow after my days off.
Not so good on the weather front at the moment, supposed to be brightening up later. Had a good walk yesterday, will try to get another this afternoon as rain forecast to be returning tomorrow.
Other than that the supermarket this morning. No washing to go out today, did 2 machine loads yesterday during half price electric.
Looks like I have an expensive month in May postage wise, 6 cards to post, 2 of them abroad.
Morning, glorious sunshine here but freezing.
It cost £3.40 to post the MIL card to Norfolk plus the £5 to purchase - I just about dropped dead on the spot although that would have made her day - so I stayed standing!!
I have some paperwork to do today so will crack on with that once the conservatory warms up a bit as its very pleasant working in there.
Morning William, ubasses & DDIL. Yep the price of postage is killing things for sure. I dread to think what it would have been if I'd have tried to post actual regular sized Easter eggs! So many people I know just refuse to send cards these days, opting for E-cards etc, although of course it isn't the same.
