    Hi Everyone!!

    Just wondering, what do people use the most, blank postcards or picture postcards?

    I find blank postcards easier as the address goes on the front & your details go on the back so much easier than squashing it all on the back...

    I use address labels so I'm wondering if it would still go through okay if I put the address label on the picture side & my details on the back... maybe I'm just thinking way too much pmsl.. I love postals :D

    I just made some of my own picture postcards with leftover card I have to save a few pennies :o
    Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

    I'm intending to make my own postcards by recycling Christmas cards - just cut the front off and draw a line down the middle.

    How often do people win in these competitions? You pay a lot, texting and the winners are chosen at random. Just like lottery. It is just chance so there is nothing special about it, or is there?

    Just the same as a normal competition I guess, I've been entering them for about 6 months & not had a win yet

    I'll use the christmas cards, plus whatever cardboard packaging from the kitchen I can recycle. Cereal packets are extremely good, and you can cut them to whatever size you need.

    Saves money and helps recycling ! Can't be bad.
