    but divadee, you cant have a life outside MSE, its just not allowed:D

    but agree with al mac that someone will comment somewhere that they have all moved over early and how can they possibly get the comps done in time (not that the comps havent been posted on here for ages or that comping isnt a chore or anything:D)

    heres to having a nice weekend without MSE (not sure thats possible but it gives me chance to do stuff that I could have been on MSE instead of doing:D

    Question please:

    This one has been bugging me for years. Someone once said that P.O. Boxes are NOT emptied over the weekend. Is this true? The reason I ask is that if a postal entry is going to a PO Box, and closes say on a Saturday, does it mean the box would be emptied out on the Friday so if I send it today, say, it would be too late? Or would it be emptied on a Monday, still giving me time? I hope you understand all that rambling? :rotfl:

    Well I don't know about other places but I have seen post box near me emptied on a saturday but most do state times of collection on anyway. Ours is by 12.15 sat but no longer emptied on a sunday. HTH :)
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    To the people entering the Lucozade text comp: has everyone received their losing message already today? I usually get mine at around 10.30am every day but I've had nothing today. I'm fantasizing that it means I've won £1,000 but it's probably just that my losing message is taking a while to come through... :D

    I think they mean an address of a post box, not the red letter boxes :)

    thanks for the list :) I'll buy my subscription over the weekend so that will start from next month, not sure I'll be able to find this months as I've looked in two places and neither had it but I'll have a look round town tomorrow to see if I can find it there.
