My all time favourite song :j:j:j
Always voted number one top single of all time by the listening public, truly a classic.

Good morning everyone, on a cold, dry but crisp morning I should say.:D:j

Hope your all well.

WOW Turbo, good to see you here, not that I'm here as much I used to be myself lol.
Oooh been playing that song, cheers :j:j

Blimey amersall, that is COSTLY:eek:
It cost me £6.50 to send an Xmas card to the USA last year, card just cost about £1.50 :eek:, and have to send more this year and a parcel, although I can't see it being what you paid, but still a lot :eek:.
Still, I know it will be worth it for your little un hey? :A:A.

Hope all is ok with you as well Nat, damn cold here lol .

Glad you had a nice birthday amersall, there are birthday wishes left for you OTR too :A:A.

amersall

Hi Di, lovely to hear from you :A xx

Glad Turbo is back, someone to add the PPI redress requests up who knows how to do it, unlike me:rotfl:

The parcels were by courier, they pick them up from your house and you just track them, depending on the weight of your parcel they are so much cheaper than Royal Mail as they only go to 2kg weight and that is £32 :eek: I sent total 7kg so that has really saved me a lot, and as you say " worth it for my little un " :D

If you have more than 3 kg weight try worldwide parcels, they are very good, UPS collected mine, 2kg or under are best sent through RM though, the only downside is I had to complete 8 customs forms , they need 4 for each parcel plus 2 copies for me:eek::eek: and you have to list each item in the parcel, I sent Xmas presents 34 in total to write down, you cannot just put dress you have to detail it !!!! the customs forms only have one line to list contents in parcel so had to put the rest on a separate piece of paper so that was 18 papers to do in total, I did the contents on one sheet and then scanned and printed those off ,the customs forms you cannot copy so had to write those :D

It has been freezing here so far but we have sunshine so that makes it feel a little better.

Go to worldwide parcels on the internet and they give you prices and you choose the cheapest, for me it was UPS.
